Glock 43X

[Jesse Harrington]

Hey Everybody

I have a client with a gkock 43x that wants the slide engraved…Has anyone cut this model and if so how was it to cut? Should I run Or give it a go? Also it says it has a nDLC finish. Not sure what that means or how best to remove it. Advice welcome!

Thanks

I have always heard once someone tries to engrave a Glock, they never do it again. The metal is Hard hard hard. Could it be done? Yes some have had success. But I hope you like sharpening gravers! Also NDLC stands for nitride diamond like coating, If that helps with the decision. Did I mention the metal is hard?

The nDLC finish described on the Glock website:

GLOCK's nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish.

So what was almost engraving on a crazy hard metal seems to even harder to engrave. I think Mike 576 mentioned the metal was hard. Its hard.

I have seen Glock slides hand engraved, but they were not factory slides.
After market slides are available and I would suggest you consult with your customer and have him purchase one of the after market slides for you to engrave.

There are after market slides for Glocks that are engrave able.

almost seems like Gaston doesn’t want folks engraving his guns.
