Description
The Lone Wolf LWD Completion Kit 45 ACP is the box you grab when you've got a stripped .45 ACP slide and need all the internal guts to make it run. It bundles together the firing pin, firing pin safety, extractor, springs, spacer sleeve, channel liner, and slide cover plate so you can button up a bare upper without hunting down a dozen individual small parts. Add your own barrel, sights, and recoil spring assembly and you're set for a functioning slide.
What Fits the LWD 45 ACP Slide Kit
This kit is built for the large-frame .45 ACP Glocks: the Glock 21, 30, 36, and 41 across Gen 1 through Gen 4, and it's a popular pick for Polymer80 PF45 builds too. It's sized for the wider .45 ACP striker channel and larger extractor cutout, so it won't work in 9mm, .40, 10mm, .357, or .45 GAP slides. It also won't fit Gen5 or the slimline G43/43X/48 pistols. One thing worth flagging: if you're running a Glock 41 slide, the manufacturer recommends using the OEM extractor rather than the one in the box.
Inside the LWD Completion Kit
Every part in here is aftermarket Lone Wolf, not factory Glock, and folks have generally had good luck with fit on genuine Glock and quality aftermarket slides. Builders often mention the slide having that reassuring Glock "rattle" once assembled, and plenty report clean range trips right out of the gate. As with any aftermarket internal parts, a little fitment now and then isn't unheard of, so it's smart to cycle the pistol dry and check extractor tension on a snap cap before heading to live fire. If you're not comfortable working inside a slide, a gunsmith or Glock armorer can knock this out quickly.
Lone Wolf has been a go-to name in the Glock aftermarket for years, and this completion kit is one of the more affordable ways to finish a .45 build or rebuild a tired upper.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LWD Completion Kit 45 ACP include, and what do I still need?
The kit comes with all the internal parts to assemble a bare .45 ACP slide, including the firing pin, firing pin safety, extractor, springs, channel liner, spacer sleeve, and slide cover plate. You'll still need to supply your own barrel, sights, and recoil spring assembly to finish the upper. Basically it covers the small guts, and you bring the big pieces.
Will this Lone Wolf slide kit fit my Glock?
It's made for large-frame .45 ACP Glocks like the Glock 21, 30, 36, and 41 in Gen 1 through Gen 4, and it's commonly used in Polymer80 PF45 builds. It will not fit 9mm, .40, 10mm, .357, or .45 GAP slides, and it doesn't work with Gen5 or the slimline G43/43X/48 pistols. Double-check your slide caliber before ordering.
Do I need to use the OEM extractor with a Glock 41 slide?
Yes. For Glock 41 long-slide builds, Lone Wolf recommends using the factory OEM extractor rather than the one included in the kit, since the included extractor won't function correctly in that slide. Every other part in the kit still applies to your G41 build.
Are these drop-in parts or do they need fitting?
Most builders have solid luck dropping these in on genuine Glock and quality aftermarket slides, and many report clean early range sessions. That said, these are aftermarket parts, so occasional light fitment can come up depending on your slide. Cycle the pistol dry and confirm extractor tension on a snap cap before live fire, and lean on a gunsmith if you're not comfortable working inside a slide.
