Zev Strppd Citadel For G17 G5

The ZEV Technologies Stripped Citadel Slide for Glock 17 Generation 5 is a precision-engineered replacement slide designed for shooters who demand enhanced ergonomics and refined aesthetics in their defensive or competition platform. This bare slide comes stripped of internal components, allowing builders and customizers to assemble a Glock 17 Gen 5 exactly to their specifications.

Weighing 0.94 pounds and measuring 9.25 inches in length, the Citadel slide maintains full compatibility with OEM Glock 17 Generation 5 components, internals, and accessories. The stripped configuration means the slide arrives without firing pin, extractor, ejector, or rear sight installed—giving you complete control over component selection and final assembly. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a refined appearance compared to standard Glock slides. The RMR mounting interface is factory-drilled and cut, ready for optic installation without additional gunsmithing.

This slide serves competitive shooters, precision builders, and Glock platform users who want to upgrade their slide assembly with a machined alternative. The Citadel is ideal for USPSA, IDPA, or 3-Gun competitors who prioritize optics-ready platforms, as well as for anyone building a custom Gen 5 Glock 17 from component parts. The stripped format appeals to experienced gunsmiths and end-users who prefer selecting their own internals and sights.

ZEV Technologies focuses on precision Glock slide and barrel manufacturing for the aftermarket platform community. The Citadel line represents their commitment to quality machining and finish. Buyers should verify compatibility with their preferred fire control group and sighting system before purchase, as this is a bare slide requiring complete assembly or transfer of existing internals.
