- Every single day we get requests from customers who have lost their OEM Glock MOS cover plate, which is basically impossible to source for them.
That’s why we decided to make our own.… and then decided to make it better!
Let's start a conversation in the comments… I read every single one!
Thanks for watching!

Do you have trouble racking your slide?
My 43 is smooth as silk.
NO
Yes
Arthritis in my left thumb is a bitch, but slide rackers like Tango Down are perfect. I just wish they covered 45ACP models.
You lost all credibility when you started making blue colored guns that look just like training guns.
Anything that makes racking the slide easier is a win in my book. Keep up the good work
Especially for me with my arthritic hands
ONLY Lenny can hold my interest for 8 minutes changing an MOS plate
Not sure what it is, but I agree. No interest in this product but I said what the hell and watched the whole thing. But I did learn about the difference between Red and Blue loctite.
I'm 75 with arthritis and I appreciate this idea, I'll be getting one for my 43x because I ain't 25 anymore.
I’m with you on the arthritis as I have it in both thumbs. It can be a painful operation just racking the slide because of the arthritis. Been thinking about picking up a 43x real soon. Might have to put on one of these plates.
Lenny is the man. His years of experience shows through every demo.
We sure miss you here in San Diego Lenny. What a loss for the guns and shooting community here in San Diego when you decided to move to Tennessee. But we sure understand and don’t blame you one bit for moving out of the most miserable anti gun state in the entire country bar none. Just thankful we can still access you and your great store on line. I hope the gun community in Tennessee appreciates what they have in you, your employees and your store. Keep up the great work Lenny and all the best to you and your family.
Lenny, love this new MOS offering from the GS!
We did exactly what you said and visited you the last week in February for some shooting time at Range #2 and the recommendations and expertise advice I received from Patrick on my purchase, I couldn't have gotten anywhere else.
GS is my new go-to for ALL my Glock needs and accessories!
Seems like a neat idea to me, doesn’t hurt to have a bit more grip sometimes, especially on the slim frame models.
Your a smart dude Lenny! You come up with all kinds of cool adaptions!
Lenny keep up the great work you and the staff are doing.👍💪
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! Lenny My husband has lose massive strength in his hands and your technique of holding and pushing works wonders. He was so upset that he couldn’t rack is 45. But now he can! Thanks again
Thanks for the video and great product! Hope you keep rolling out accessibility products fine sir! As a normal user never thought about this issue, but take out a newer shooter (especially young, older, or with hand or grip issues) and this issue can be highlighted quickly with a solution like this needed well done.
This would be an excellent option for people with arthritic hands. This is not something I'm currently needing, but as a person with arthritic hands, I can totally understand how this may help me down the road.
I carry without a round in the chamber for my own reasons this makes perfect sense to draw and rack easily
Great idea. Simple and easy to use.
genius idea! Always thinking ahead.
Like the HK VP9 and it's rear slide wings.
I went to the range again yesterday..... finally and had a lot of fun shooting..... I noticed racking the slide on my Glock 26 was stiffer than before..... but you know as you age, and I'm 70 now..... somehow your hand strength goes down as your age goes up.... if I had an MOS Glock now I know where to buy a useful optic cover
I’ve done a lot of slides as well. My favorites have always been the old school metal tornado slides. You don’t see many nowadays…
Excellent idea!
Interesting use of 3D printing, what kind of filament was used if you don't mind me asking?
What you need do the thread locker is called Vibra-Tite. I dries before you install the screw. If you instruct folks to use even the blue locktite on such a tiny screw, they will have issues getting them out without buggering the heads of the screws.
Another good and helpful idea from Lenny
Awesome video sir
I would love something like this for the G42
A cool concept. A lot of people won't be able to use it cuz they want to run an optic. But this would be a good reason for someone to buy the MOS version even if they're die hard iron sight guys
Thanks Lenny
Appreciate you ,!!
That's a pretty good idea, Lenny!
durability matters, but I'm even more intrigued by those unique features that differentiate it from other models. Innovation like this is what keeps the firearm community thriving.
Love it!
Older topic question because this video is pretty new so I thought it would be a better bet for a reply.
Apart from the copper material, does Glock oil & lube a new pistol as you demonstrated?
Or is it bone dry?
I'm curious if needed right out of the box before first use?
Nice invention!!
Now, that is innovation!
My wife and I plan to visit Nashville soon and will visit the Glock Store. We enjoy your informative videos. I want to customize my G43 and she may want to do her G42.
If you fly in, it's only a few minutes from the airport.
Pretty cool add to help with slide pull. Can’t find it on the GS website 🤔
I just ordered one....Thanks for the video.
Personally, I just went with a Glock Slide Charging Handle attachment. It attaches to the back of the slide.
cool idea in concept... but I'm not sure why this would be better or worse than a backplate with similar functionality.... but that can be quicker to disassemble. then again... more options more better.
Looking for a peep sight of my glock 19 gen 5 MOS, ideas please. Not looking for a red dot at this time.
My g43x also has that grey finish instead of the milky black. Was it just a batch of slightly different finished g43x??
You don’t need multiplication either. You could just add the same number again and again. It just makes things easier. Just because you don’t need something, doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
Are these replacements made out of metal or cheap plastic too?
Brilliant!
Glocks store lenny, how about some stuff for rhe compact 45 acp? Everything is for the g 43x. The g 30,30s is almost as small but in a bigger round. I guess everone is shifting to 9mm over past 10 years. Most of my handguns are 9mm. But i also have a couple 45acp. For fun shooting its hard to beat a big pill 💊.
I just rack the slide on my G19 using my red dot. But some guns I do prefer using the factory sights. Looks like a genius design that I've never seen on any gun.
If you Mill the slide on my g19 would it be the exact same as my g47?
What timing, I went shooting with my sister the other day and she was having trouble racking the slide. My hk has little things on the side of the slide that make it easier and she liked that but hk doesn’t make a smaller gun like the 43x I told her I would probably buy a Glock if I had to do it again just cause there are so many parts and accessories available for Glock that aren’t available for HK . Don’t get me wrong I think stock my HK is a better gun than a stock Glock but it’s nice to be able to walk into any store and know that they’ll have stuff for my Glock…
Are you able to use gen 4 slide internals and sights on a gen 3 slide?
I remember seeing a Glock striker plate replacement that also assists in racking the slide. Am I mistaken?
No & Yes. (I don’t own any but from what I handled)
Pocket sized guns are for some reason hard to rack. Either it’s too small (hard to grip properly) or the spring is ridiculously strong.
Sub-compact to normal size no issue.
I pocket carry a Kel-Tec p3at everyday and it's a royal pain in the azz to rack the slide because it's such a small area to grab... I wish I could get something like that on my carry gun
For years I’ve used clear finger nail polish, as a thread lock.
Love the videos, but why buy a MOS gun? Just to buy the adapter to run the slide?
Is this available for Glock 42? My wife has weak grip strength and has difficulty racking the slide. I wouldn't mind one on my 30s as well. Could also be important for quicker and more sure slide racking in emergency situation, or in the dark.
If Lenny's arms get any bigger he's gonna have to start shopping in the men's department
I watched as my Grandfather gradually lost his ability to easily rack his 1911. I took that and gave him a S&W 686. He’s since passed but I witnessed the frustration he experienced. It’s sad to read some of the ridiculous comments.
I would consider wings to fit my my Holosun 507 43X MOS so I don’t grapple my optics.
There you go, great idea. An enhanced grip intended to work with the optic.
my glock 10mm is a lot more than 9mm…love it
Vickers and Springer Precision Slide Rackers: Are we a joke to you 👀
Do you make one for springfield xds mod 2 9mm lost cover plate
I don’t even own a Glock and I end up watching all of Lenny’s videos!
Granted, the rock Island Glock clone but still, great videos
Does Glock make a mod slide for the gen 4 19?
There’s something to be said for a PBG..Plain Black Glock. The way they came from the factory is the most reliable they will ever be. I made modifications to one of mine and found out firsthand.
If you have trouble racking a Glock slide, then maybe switch to a revolver.
Good ole Lenny selling snake oil 😂
Or you can replace that 30 pound recoil spring with a 10 pound spring and it will not only be easier to operate it will reduce recoil and muzzle flip. All the Glock experts told me that will never work but it works like a champ with zero feeding issues.
If you could do this plate as a combo for an RMSC pattern, that would be perfect for my wife.
Where do I send my Glock 43x to have the mag release changed?
Stupid simple idea that no-one has thought of before. Patent that, Lenny, if you haven't already!
Good idea, but I would like to know how the hell you could lose the plate
Make the wings but a plate that fits under the red dot.
I didn’t know racking the slide of a 43X was any more “difficult” than racking the slide of a 43, 42, 48 or any other Glock for that matter.
So, as I understand this, these ONLY work if you aren't running an optic.. . Correct?
Lenny did you sale used cars before this?
Is that a Richard milly?
Lenny is a God to some of US, this is basically an episode of church for me
My G23 Gen 5 MOS cover plate is made of steel.
Direct link to product?
You could also just remove the recoil spring.
Do you make a plate for the slides you mill for your customers. Im worried what happens if I end up taking off the optic of a Glock Store milled slide.
We make one to fit the 507C/RMR footprint or the 507K footprint! SKU: 12001 on our website.
@@glockstore i failed to specify. I considering having you do my glock 43
Great! That's the same SKU and we offer it for The 507K footprint on the Glock 43X
Early MOS guns had a steel plate. When they switched to plastic, I mean polymer. They took all the money saved and put it in their other pocket. Surprised they didn't leave it metal on the Gen 5 Mos, and introduce a Glock Gen. 6 Mos with a polymer cover plate. Or a metal reinforced polymer plate. . 😂😂😅😅
Yeah, some pencil pusher in an office found a way to save money. Most people that buy an MOS will be using a red dot though, so I'm surprised they didn't decide to just ditch the plate completely.
@embrocated9400 lol, that does sound like something that would be in small print. Glock 19 gen 5 MOS.
"cover plate sold separately "
Sorry, I’m not familiar with Glocks so I ask you: what is a MOS gun? Thanks 😊
Modular Optic System. They come with a standard optic cut on the slide that then adapts to a specific optic footprint using a plate.
Can You Guys Make This in a Gold Color as Well as a Rose Gold Color Variant?
Contact our Custom Shop, we can Cerakote any one of our custom parts.
Make a frame safety like Glock did for the Army trials.
Why? A decent trigger finger discipline is enough to prevent a negligent discharge.
Funny....so many people criticizing H&K for the VP9 racking "ears" on the back of the gun when it came out. Now look what they are making for glocks. Lmfao.
"boom"
Should have made the firing pin plate with wings on the side. If you do I want to be the first to buy it. This is a good idea but useless if you put a red dot.
👍
If someone is buying the MOS it’s to put a dot sight on it. No one is going to pay more for the MOS and not put a sight on. This seems like it’s not needed.
No and I have a gen 3 19 and a gen 5 19x absolutely no issues
Then this product isn’t for you. These comments like yours are cracking me up. It’s like you’re personally triggered that it’s even implied you have trouble racking the slide so you have to comment and make sure we all know you have big strong hands.
Bud, 9/10 gun owners don’t need this product. This is for the 1/10, if you can rack a slide just fine- guess what? You aren’t the target demographic of this product.
This company has mastered the art of selling gimmicky, stupid parts to people who don’t know anything about shooting
Mostly old people will use that , neat idea Lenny .
Hey, I identify with that remark😂
Naw. I actually added a Glock Slide Charging Handle to the back of my Glock 29SF because I prefer not to carry with a round in the chamber.
If I am wearing thick winter gloves in freezing weather, I want to be able to pull my conceal carry and reliably rack the slide with minimal effort.
I also have arthritis that can act up really bad on occasion if I don't maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, and that makes my grip strength significantly weakened on some bad day mornings. I'm 27 yr old male and I love having the attachment.
But I also have a Thumb Rest Lever to help mitigate some of the 10mm recoil from using high-powered loads in a compact form factor. In addition, I run a 4.5" barrel on my Glock 29SF that has been ported on the upper portion to divert gasses upwards and aid in recoil mitigation and reducing time between follow-up shots.
It's around 40-60% less recoil every shot depending on if I am firing a medium or hot 10mm load.
Now here is an idea.....Put the same tabs on any optic plate.
I just tried to order and WILL NOT add the enhanced plate to basket 🙁
We are working on this now.
Please stand by.
@@glockstore thank you
It is available now. Thank you for your patience.
@@glockstore worked perfectly, thank you again.
If you have a tough time gripping and ripping get a revolver.
Wager Machine Works will mill your slide and have it back to you in 7 days 😤
their products are great., however,,, it takes loads of time to get their products once paid... I've got a Glock 21 and ordered and paid for the 10mm barrel.. I called and was on hold forever. I then texted the number that the answering machine says to do so.. my text told me that they would be back in stock mid March.. I text again for any type of update..."crickets."
I think that’s just for actual firearms. I’ve ordered various accessories and gotten them within the week.
the 10mm barrel was an accessory @@wiseinvestments5134
Spoiler Alert:
If you cant pull the slide back, you might be interested in a musket
Dang plastic! If it was metal I would be all for it.
Arthritic hands make it difficult-to rack the slide.
The best $300 gun that $700 can buy.
Does every Glock owner have arthritis ??? 😂😂
