TacFire Replacement Slide — .40 S&W, Graphite Black Cerakote, Stainless Steel, Optics Cut & Slide Ports — for Glock® 22 Gen3 (GLKSL22G2 | UPC 686294505362)

Give your Gen3 duty pistol a premium top end with modern performance features. The TacFire Replacement Slide for Glock 22 Gen3 is precision-machined from stainless steel, finished in a rugged Graphite Black Cerakote, and factory-cut for today’s popular micro red dots. Forward slide ports help shed weight and promote faster cycling, while aggressive serrations and a clean profile add confident traction and a custom, duty-ready look. Chambered for .40 S&W (G22 pattern), this upper is an excellent foundation for a refreshed carry gun, range build, or optics-equipped home-defense pistol.

Why Upgrade to the TacFire GLKSL22G2 Slide?

• Optics-Ready Performance: Factory optics cut accepts popular micro red dots (verify footprint with your optic’s spec) for faster sight acquisition and target transitions.

• Ported, Weight-Balanced Design: Slide ports reduce reciprocating mass for snappier return-to-battery and flatter tracking during rapid strings.

• Stainless Steel Strength: Precision-machined stainless construction resists wear, corrosion, and heat—built for high round counts.

• Graphite Black Cerakote: Durable, low-glare coating protects against abrasion, cleaning chemicals, and daily carry.

• Enhanced Manipulation: Front/rear serrations provide positive grip for press checks and malfunction clearance—even with wet or gloved hands.

• Direct Fit for Gen3 G22: Designed around the Glock 22 Gen3 geometry for straightforward compatibility with .40 S&W barrels and components.

Key Features & Specifications

• Model / Part: GLKSL22G2

• UPC: 686294505362

• Platform: Glock 22 (Gen3) — .40 S&W pattern

• Material: Stainless steel (precision machined)

• Finish: Graphite Black Cerakote (low glare, corrosion resistant)

• Cut: Optics-ready (micro red-dot interface; verify footprint and screw length)

• Ports: Slide ports to reduce weight and aid cycling

• Barrel / Internals: Sold as a slide only unless otherwise listed (verify inclusion of small parts, channel liner, extractor, and back plate with retailer)

Performance Advantages You’ll Notice

• Faster Sight Picture: An optic-ready mount puts the dot closer to the bore for intuitive indexing and quicker first-shot speed.

• Flatter Tracking: Reduced reciprocating mass from the ported slide promotes faster cycling and helps you stay on the dot between shots.

• All-Weather Durability: Stainless core plus Cerakote keeps rust at bay and cleans up easily after long range days.

• Confident Manipulations: Deep serrations and a matte finish provide secure purchase for daily handling and match use.

Compatibility & Fit Notes

• Pistol: Glock 22 Gen3 (full-size .40 S&W). Not for Gen4/Gen5 unless you’re using specific conversion parts designed for cross-gen compatibility.

• Barrel & RSA: Use .40 S&W G22-length barrels and a Gen3-spec recoil spring assembly.

• Optics: Confirm optic footprint and screw length to avoid striker channel interference. If a mounting plate is required, use the manufacturer-approved plate/torque.

• Sights: Standard Glock-pattern front/rear dovetails (choose suppressor-height sights if co-witnessing a red dot).

• Holsters: Most G22 holsters with optic clearance will fit; verify for port cut geometry and optic height.

Installation & Setup (Best Practices, Non-Instructional)

• Professional Installation Recommended: Proper assembly, torque, and function checks ensure safe, reliable operation.

• Inspect Components: Replace worn small parts (extractor/spring, channel liner, striker assembly) during the swap for maximum reliability.

• Function Check: After mounting the optic and sights, confirm safe operation, striker engagement, and ejection pattern before defensive use.

• Loctite & Torque: Follow optic manufacturer torque specs and thread-locker guidance; re-check after initial range session.

Ideal Use Cases

• Carry-Optics & Range Builds: Upgrade a legacy G22 with a modern dot to improve speed and accuracy.

• Training Pistol: Durable finish and stainless core handle high round counts in classes and practice.

• Home-Defense Setup: Faster identification and improved low-light aiming when paired with a quality WML and dot.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe down Cerakote surfaces with a soft cloth and mild cleaner; avoid harsh abrasives.

• Keep internal channels clean and lightly lubricated per Glock-pattern guidance.

• Periodically re-check optic screw torque and sight set screws.
