Reviews & Ratings for TacFire Glock 23 Gen 3 Replacement Pistol Slide w/Optics Cut & Slide Ports — 14 reviews — Page 1

Slide is very nice. Great price. Only issue is that the fitment is not as tight as the ome.

F.Y.I. I have not been to the range yet. I had a slide parts kit I purchased a long while back. I assembled the slide all went well. Until i dropped the barrel in. My stock 40 barrel would get stuck around the barrel chamber area when inserted into the slide. I have to exert a little force to get the stock barrel out of the slide which concerned me. Now with that I also have a Lone Wolf 40 to 9 conversion barrel. The Lone Wolf conversion barrel fits perfectly. The new slide and conversion barrel assembly looks awesome and seem to operate perfectly. I hope I still have good feelings after the I go to the range.

This is a very nice blank glock23 upper with the rmr cut , I've already placed my optic on it , and its a nail driver.

Great product fast shipping would buy from them again

Looks great works great came on time and the price was phenomenal

I put the TacFire G23 slide on a Lonewolf Timberwolf compact frame. It looks really nice. I will include a photograph if the review allows it. I completed it with a Lonewolf G32 barrel for .357 sig and Meprolight tritiated sights. I will add a Streamlight and Trijicon red dot later. The fit is excellent. It’s light weight and carries comfortably, like a Glock 19. The slide or frame must be slightly different than a G19 because it fits well in a Tenicor G17 holster already in my inventory. The retention is great even though there is a little space between the muzzle and the distal end of the holster. The TacFire on the Timberwolf cycles three different types of ammunition (two flat nose FMJ, one JHP) flawlessly with no break in period. I haven’t shot it at longer ranges, but the accuracy is great within 7 yards. I thought it would have serious recoil with .357 sig in such a light pistol, but it’s not bad. The frame was on sale and with the great price on this TacFire slide, the total build came in about $100 cheaper than a factory Glock for what might be a better pistol.

Good quality product, finish is good, decent weight to the slide assembly, went together perfectly with my OE G23 parts. RMR cut was perfect, my optic sits great, no play.
Issue with cycling where the barrel isn't clearing the slide, causing a malfunction and not allowing the ammo to feed properly. Will have to have the slide milled down a hair to clear the cycle/battery issue. Hopefully this is just a fluke.
Still planning on using it.

I got the TacFire g23 slide to go on a LoneWolf “Timberwolf” frame that was on sale. It looks good together. The barrel (purchased separately)is for 357s, which makes it a 32 instead of a 23, I guess. The slide’s fit and finish look and feel like a higher priced piece. This was a good deal. As always, Optics Planet delivered. They are reliable and have integrity.

The slide looks to be well-made, although a little squared/angular in design compared to the original Glock slide. The finish is nice, and all of the parts including the firing pin and extractor fit nicely into the slide. The fit was a little tight on the Glock pistol frame, but I would expect it to loosen up with some lubrication after a few rounds have been fired (I have not yet fired the pistol with this slide). I have not yet ordered an RMR sight, so I cannot comment on the fitup other than the cover plate is as expected. Overall, not a bad deal considering you'll pay the same price or more to have your factory Glock slide machined and refinished. I'm excited to get a sight on this thing and take it to the range!

Wanted to update my 20 year old G23. This did the trick without breaking the bank. Love this old gun again. Ran flawlessly with my 9mm conversion barrels and my KKM match grade .40 cal barrel. I would recommend this slide.
