Wuelf Glock Slide Review - When I think of Tactical Kinetics, I usually think of barrels. After all, they are referred to as "barrel men." Well, they branched out from making Glock style slides to have 3 pistols. You can remove or complete these slides. A full Tactical Kinetics slide arrived in my mailbox.
Discuss a complete slide. When Tactical Kinetics says complete, it means complete. It comes fully assembled with the slide finish kit, and is one of Glock's great barrels. Full slides can have either a threaded barrel, or none. This one comes with a thread, which comes with a knurled thread protector. As a finishing touch, the slide also has views. The sights on this slide are basically 3-point white. The sights are made of steel, unlike the factory Glock sights. They are nothing special, but they make it a complete product that is ready to use. My only complaint is that the slide is not cut for any type of pistol optics.

The Tactical Kinetics slide also has a few features that some shooters may like. The slide has some very nice front and rear cocking serrations. They are angular and straight at the same time. What I am saying is that the upper part of them is forward English and the lower part is more vertical. These sections are cut deeply towards the top, and then less deeply near the bottom. I really appreciate how deep the cut is near the top. I always handled them well. Having the sliding serrations cut deep like this, will help them grip better, with muddy hands, or if mud and dirt get into them. The slide also has a slightly recessed cut on the sides. This cut probably cuts a bit of weight, but it actually makes it look better. However, there are some small car brands in this area. They won't hurt anything, just be noticeable nearby.

The slide is also a "close style." By closed style, I mean there is no extra cut for dirt to enter the inside of the slide. For a carry gun, I think this style works best. It won't prevent everything from sliding, but it will help.
To protect the slide and barrel, they will be finished with Nitrur Tactical Kinetics. The black nitride finish is smooth and sleek. The slide is also hardened stainless steel, adding to the durable finish. Between the hardened stainless steel and the nitride layer, the slide should last a very long time.
I won't go into the barrel too much, as there is a review HERE for one of the G17 barrels. But I will mention that this is a very nice barrel that locks well with the Tactical Kinetics slide. It is made of 416R stainless steel, has a 1 in 10 twist, and a 6-groove knob. This particular thread is ½-28. If you need a single barrel, these are a great choice.
As always, I've used the TK slide on a few different pistol frames. As expected, the slide fit frame was excellent. I would say almost match class. It was great at first. It probably took about 50 rounds, or more, to get it to 100% cycle. It now resides in a Polymer 80 OD frame. The slide works well with the Polymer 80 frame. In addition, its lines look good on the Polymer 80 platform. Using an 80% frame and the Tactical Kinetics slide gives you a complete pistol for around $500. The whole combo is pretty accurate. I didn't put it on paper, but on steel it was really good, because one could see the splatter marks from the hits.

Tactical Kinetics did a great job with this complete slide. It has everything you want in a basic slide. All you have to do is place it in your frame, and you're good to go. Not having an optical cut is an abomination, but this is the only negative for the complete slide. Everything on and off the slide is top quality and it's all made in the USA. Check out Tactical Kinetics for a Glock slide, or any number of big barrels.
