Surface refinement
The surface of the GLOCK slide and barrel is black and non reflective. All GLOCK metal parts are subject to a surface treatment making them corrosion and salt water resistant.
Polymer frame
The durable and lightweight polymer frame absorbs recoil due to the dampening characteristics of the polymer.
Special grip texture
The slimline RTF was designed to enhance grip traction, without being too aggressive.
Reversible magazine catch
The magazine catch of the slimline frame is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. For left and right handed users.
Magazine with extension
A magazine with extensions is available for securing the grip and better ergonomics.
Barrel profile
The polygonal barrel is easy to clean and its better bullet to barrel fit increases the velocity of the projectile.
Loaded chamber indicator
A visible and palpable indicator is located on the extractor.
Slide stop lever
A fully functional slide stop lever stops the slide in the rearward position after having fired the last round in the magazine.
Trigger distance
The trigger distance of the slimline pistols is reduced compared to other GLOCK models. The grip angle is equivalent to the larger pistols in the GLOCK lineup.
Standard GLOCK sights
The dimensions of the standard GLOCK rear sights were reduced to fit the slim slide.
Single stack magazine
The magazine of the GLOCK slimline pistols has a single stack design to reduce its dimensions to a minimum. The metal insert is covered by a polymer coating.
