Can a Glock Slide Be Polished?

    Polishing a Glock Slide can add an element of professionalism and can make the slide look more aesthetic. 

Can You Polish a Glock Slide?

     Yes, you can. Glock slides come typically factory-coated in black oxide, which many owners claim to see as “ugly”. However, polishing your slide can remove the factory coating and positively change the aesthetic. Polishing your Glock, depending on how much you polish it, can lead to either a brushed stainless steel look or a mirror finish. 

Is it Worth it?

     It is totally up to you if you want to polish your slide; polished looks are favored and desirable when looking to sell. Removing the factory coating is often done by Glock owners, and they usually look to add a new coat or paint. The choice to aesthetically change the look of your Glock slide isn't detrimental but can be when done wrong.
