Strike Industries V2 Slide Cover Plate for Glock Gen 1-4 Red Anodized Aluminum

The Strike Industries V2 Slide Cover Plate is a direct-replacement rear plate for Glock Gen 1-4 pistols that swaps the factory plastic slide cover for a more durable, machined aircraft-grade aluminum upgrade. Designed as a drop-in fit across the Gen 1-4 lineup, it gives Glock owners a single part that adds a clean accent to the rear of the slide while strengthening the plate that retains the firing pin and extractor channel.

The defining feature of the V2 design is its patent-pending push-button release, which lets the user push the plate out of the slide without tools. By eliminating the need for a punch or improvised tool to pop the cover plate loose, the V2 streamlines field stripping, detail stripping, and routine maintenance of the firing pin and extractor assembly. The plate is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in a hardcoat red anodized coating that resists wear, scratches, and corrosion far better than the factory polymer part.

Installation is drop-in: remove the factory slide cover plate using the existing takedown method on your Gen 1-4 Glock, drop the Strike Industries V2 plate into the same channel, and reinstall the slide cover plate screw. No modifications, fitting, or gunsmithing are required, and the plate does not alter the firearm's function, fit, or reliability. The bold red anodized finish coordinates with other Strike Industries red components for builders who want a matched accent color on their carry, duty, or competition pistol.
