New OEM Profile Glock Slides From Lone Wolf
Lone Wolf has brought another aftermarket slide to the market, this time with an OEM slide profile. This comes as a bit of a surprise given Glock’s history with filing suit against anyone producing something that might violate their trade dress protection. Never the less, Lone Wolf has produced a slide that when compared to the original that come with a new Glock Gen 1-3, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference at a glance.
The new slide will be made in the United States from 416 stainless steel and feature a Gen 3 nose profile as well as cocking serrations. Once the machine work is finished, the slide is bead blasted to give it a nice matte finish. The new AlphaWolf slide will be offered as a bare slide only, but Lone Wolf has the parts available to finish the slide off and even includes an option for them to build the slide for you.
Glock 22, 24, 31, 35, and 37 owners will really appreciate the ability to convert to 9mm with nothing more than a quick slide change. With an MSRP of only $199, this makes the slide on of the more reasonably priced aftermarket offerings. Lone Wolf is already shipping them, you can learn more about it on their website HERE.

So $199, that is 40% of a standard Glock. Is making a n 80% Glock even worth it, I mean money wise?
Some guy called the shop wanting me to troubleshoot his non functional 80% "Glock" on Saturday. Is copy as reliable as the real thing?
Yea, not sure I get the point of an 80% Glock. But to each his own.
