Description
The back plate is one of the most overlooked spots on a Glock, and it's also one of the easiest to upgrade. This Noveske end plate replaces the stock plastic slide cover with a machined aluminum piece that carries the Noveske Cross logo and a deep black DLC finish. It's a cosmetic swap that gives the rear of your slide a little more presence without touching how the gun runs.
What the Noveske Cross Logo End Plate Is Made Of
This plate is cut from 6061-T6 aluminum and wears a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, which is the same type of finish you'll find on premium slide components. DLC holds up well against holster wear, sweat, and solvents, so the black stays black and the engraving stays crisp over years of carry and range time. The Cross logo is machined right into the face, giving it that unmistakable Noveske look that fellow gun folks will recognize.
Fitment for the Noveske Glock Back Plate
This is the standard double-stack size back plate, which covers the full-frame Glock lineup across generations 1 through 5. That includes popular models like the 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34, and 45. It is not sized for the slimline single-stack guns such as the Glock 42, 43, 43X, or 48, since those use a smaller plate. If you're running a Gen 3-pattern clone, it'll often fit those too, but check your specific slide before ordering.
Installing the Noveske DM Slide End Plate
Swapping the plate is a quick job that most people can knock out at the kitchen table in a few minutes. You field strip the slide, take tension off the striker assembly, slide the old plate down and off, then slide the new one into the same channel until it clicks. No permanent modification, no gunsmith required, and it won't affect reliability when it's seated properly. It's one of the simplest ways to personalize a Glock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glock models does the Noveske Cross Logo back plate fit?
This is the standard double-stack size, so it fits full-frame Glock models across generations 1 through 5, including the 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34, and 45. It does not fit the slimline single-stack guns like the Glock 42, 43, 43X, or 48, which use a smaller plate. If you have a Gen 3-pattern clone slide, it will often work there as well, but confirm against your slide first.
Is the Noveske back plate hard to install?
Not at all. You field strip the slide, relieve the striker tension, slide the factory plate off, and seat the new Noveske plate in the same channel. Most people can do it in a few minutes with no special tools and no gunsmith.
Will this end plate affect how my Glock runs?
No. The back plate is a cosmetic cover at the rear of the slide and does not change function when it's installed and seated correctly. Your trigger, striker, and cycling all behave exactly as they did before.
What is the DLC finish and why does it matter?
DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon, a hard, slick coating used on high-end slide parts. It resists holster wear, corrosion, and solvents better than standard black finishes, so the plate keeps its deep black look and sharp Cross logo over the long haul.
