EMG / SAI Slide Kits for Elite Force GLOCK Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistols by G&P (Model: Tier 2 Slide / GLOCK 17 Gen.3)

"Nice kit! Fit my umarex gen3 19 perfectly!

"Great look slide and super easy to install.

Pros:
-lightweight
-great looking
-cycles really smooth
-threaded barrel fits almost all attachments, mine has the ZEV V2 PRO COMP (14 ccw)

CONS:
-rattles a bit more than stock
- the recoil spring fits with no tension at all and it’s barely held on so when you field strip or put the slide back on sometimes it falls from the wall of the hop up unit retaining and it gets a bit hard to let the slide slide back in.

Overall, it fits well for the most part and performs great.

"Well constructed. Barrel is likely not TIN coated (nor do they claim it is) however has not shown a visible scratch after about 100 rounds. Thank you Evike! This helps complete my fantasy of building my ultimate airsoft G19 GBB. The addition of the SAI trigger I also purchased completed the final touches.

"Assembly was easy no issues at all. only issue i have is slide release is extremely hard to engage but will develop a work-around. 5/5

"Looks great. functions well. easy install. no modifications needed. nozzle return spring guide has to be removed from old slide and placed on this one. no big deal. that is the only issue I dealt with. the original slide would not lock back with my WE mags. for some reason this one does. paired with the SAI tier1 trigger and some ranger plates and my g17 lookin dope AF!!! definitely recommend. I wouldn't suggest it if u have no experience teching on gbb. other than that. BUY IT!!!

"Install was pretty easy except for getting the Piston Recoil guide off the old slide and into the new one. The quality of the parts is good the so is the finished look.

"It's a beauty . This slide works really well with my EF g17 gen4 .I have been using it for about a 2 months an still no problems . Great job EMG

I would recommend this slide to a friend or anyone that has a EF g17 gen4

"Bought this to make my Glock a bit nicer looking and because of the grippy slide. Out of the box, its light, high quality, but if youre new to doing tech work on GBBs, unfortunately it doesnt come with instructions. I have taken my Glock apart enough times to not need it though. It also doesnt come with a nozzle return spring, but those are cheap and you should probably get new ones to replace the bad stock one anyways. I had to use super glue to make it stay in place too, as this slide doesnt have a spring guide rod like the stock Glock slide does, so the spring just flew around. After getting everything set in, the stock backplate for the slide (this doesnt come with one) was almost too tight of a fit, which is a good thing, nothing will rattle. Everything fit VERY VERY snug, which was bad when it came to my nozzle housing unit. It stuck out just a little bit past the slide rails, making the first slide on a pain. I felt like i almost messed up my internals. Thankfully, after a LOT (and i mean a lot) of force, it locked back, pushed the housing unit firmer in place, and worked. It fires, it locks, its snappy, its good. Wouldve given it 5 stars but its NOT a direct drop-in like it says. Im fine with having to screw stuff in, but the amount of force i had to use to get the slide on AND OFF was challenging.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Light
Snappy
Good texturing
Very VERY good sights, even fiber optic!
Very high quality finish
Barrel is threaded and its a very smooth threading (14mm-)
Came with a thread protector
Makes the gun look very nice and definitely increases performance!

Cons: Assembly...oh boy.
Didnt quite fit without excessive force
Couldnt fit my Poseidon Cyclops sight, ended up actually breaking it, unfortunately.
Rear sight isnt fiber optic, should be for the price.
No nozzle return spring
No backplate, have to use the stock one. Not too big of a deal but a SAI one would be kinda cool.

TL;DR, if you dont mind doing some work with some effort, absolutely buy this. If youre not experienced with GBB work, i would have someone that knows what theyre doing do it for you, or just avoid it. Your Glock will do just fine without it anyways.

"Build quality on the slide is great, but installation is a bit of a pain. There's no included instructions so you have to watch a youtube video unless you know what you're doing.

Unfortunately mine doesn't seem to get along with the glock 19 I installed it on, and unless the slide is racked in a particular way the gun will jam. If this wasn't an issue I'd give the thing a five star review.

"Will not fit on the SAI BLU even with modification, even though there's an image with the slide on one.

"So I purchased this on Black Friday and it literally is the hardest fucking slide to put together. It does not come with the nozzle return spring rod so you have to carefully remove the OEM rod from your slide and install it. Also, the RMR puts too much stress on the Nozzle which will not let the nozzle return back sometimes. the quickest and only fix at the moment is an rmr anti-flicker called DPP Titanium Mounting Kit/Anti Flicker Sealing Plate Kit for Trijicon RMR Fit Glock MOS and Springfield OSP Models. that allows the nozzle to return regularly! The slide also rattles a lot. The recoil spring barely sits properly it sits on a hair basically. It looks really nice but they need to do more testing and GIVE ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONS ON PUTTING THE SLIDE TOGETHER.

"I bought this slide hoping for a super cool upgrade for my Elite Force Glock 17. Unfortunatlley, the slide does not come with a "Piston Recoil Guide for Spartan Cybergun Elite Force Glock" (which is really just the nozzle spring guide rod) built into the slide so you would have to buy one and install it yourself. Also, once I installed the slide, if I didn't apply pressure to the right side of the slide while cocking it, it wouldn't cock and would just slide past the hammer. This was extremely annoying and I decided to retire the slide. But, the gold outer barrel does fit with the stock slide from elite force so I decided to use the outer barrel instead of not using anything. If you are planning on purchasing this slide, just know that this probably won't work too well without MAJOR modifications. Extremely dissappointed in this slide....

I gave this slide a 2 out of 5 stars because the slide does not work but at least the outer barrel does.

All in all, I would not recommend this to a friend and would tell them to save their money. I would tell them to wait for more companies to come out with slides for the Elite Force glocks and make sure that they work well since 115 bucks is a significant amount of money to blow on something.
