Description
The rear of your Glock slide comes with a plastic cover plate from the factory, and while it does the job, it's the kind of part that begs for an upgrade. Timber Creek Outdoors machines this one from aircraft grade billet aluminum, so you get something that looks sharp and holds up to real use. The OD Green anodized finish plays nice with earthy builds and pairs well with FDE or black slides if you're going for that field-ready look.
What the GLMCPOD Slide Cover Plate Brings to Your Glock
This is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory plastic plate on your Glock 17 or 19. No gunsmithing, no permanent changes, no special tools beyond a punch to pop the old plate off. You take the stock piece off, slide the Timber Creek plate on, and you're done in a couple of minutes. It matches the factory profile so the fit is snug and clean, and the anodized coating means the color stays put instead of scuffing off after a few range trips.
Why OD Green Works on a Carry or Range Glock
Color might seem like a small thing on a part this size, but the slide cover plate is one of the easiest ways to add a little personality without tearing your pistol apart. OD Green gives you that muted, tactical vibe that doesn't shout for attention. It's a smart pick for folks running an earth-toned setup or anyone who just wants their Glock to stand out a bit from every other black-on-black one at the range.
A Simple Upgrade That Punches Above Its Size
Aluminum over plastic is one of those upgrades that feels bigger than the part itself. You get a component that's more durable, better looking, and built to a tighter standard than the piece it replaces. If you're already dressing up your Glock with new sights, a mag release, or a slide plate down the road, this is an easy first step that won't complicate anything under the hood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GLMCPOD slide cover plate fit both the Glock 17 and Glock 19?
Yes, this plate is designed to fit both the Glock 17 and Glock 19. The rear slide cover plate shares the same dimensions across those models, so one part covers both. Double-check your specific generation if you have any doubt, since Timber Creek offers plates listed for different Glock configurations.
How hard is it to install this Timber Creek slide cover plate?
It's a straightforward drop-in swap that most people knock out in a couple of minutes. You depress the spacer sleeve or firing pin plate slightly, slide the factory plastic plate off, and slide the new aluminum one on in its place. A small punch or the tip of a magazine helps, and no permanent modifications are needed.
What is this slide cover plate made from?
The GLMCPOD is machined from aircraft grade billet aluminum, which is a solid step up from the factory plastic piece. The OD Green color comes from an anodized finish, so it resists chipping and scuffing better than a painted surface would. It's built to hold up to regular carry and range use.
Will this plate work with an aftermarket firing pin or striker setup?
This is a standard-profile cover plate that matches the factory footprint, so it works with typical Glock internals. If you're running a heavily modified striker channel or a specialty backplate-mounted accessory, you'll want to verify clearance first. For a standard Glock 17 or 19 slide, it drops right in.
