The Executive Carry V5 is an optic-ready aftermarket Glock 21 slide built by Alpha Shooting Sports for the Gen 3 G21 chambered in .45 ACP. It fits shooters who want to run a red dot on a full-size .45 without buying a factory milled-optics pistol. Machined from hardened stainless steel, it carries the version-five markings and comes pre-cut to accept a Trijicon or Holosun mounting footprint. This is a direct slide swap built for executive carry and duty use, and it also works with G20 and Polymer80 PF45 frames. Pair it with the right red dot optic and your existing lower.
Alpha Shooting Sports cuts diamond checkered serrations into the rear, front, and top of the slide for a positive grip in any condition, and a nitride coating over the stainless steel gives the surface its hardened black finish and corrosion resistance. The top is milled with a custom window port, with additional left, right, and top window cuts that lighten the slide and reduce reciprocating mass. The optic pocket accepts a Trijicon or Holosun 507 footprint, and a cover plate ships in the box along with a channel liner already installed. Roman numeral version-five engraving marks the build. Note that this is a slide only, so you'll add a barrel, recoil assembly, and internals from your parts inventory or donor pistol to complete it.
A buyer typically picks this up to convert a stock Glock 21 into an optic-ready carry or duty gun, or to start a custom build on a G20 or PF45 frame. Professional gunsmith installation is recommended, and Alpha Shooting Sports specifies a 200-round break-in for the slide to settle to optimal performance. Run it with quality .45 ACP and confirm zero on your red dot before carry. When you finish the build, keep it running with the right cleaning supplies and check our optics selection for a compatible sight. Made in the USA.
Yes. The Executive Carry V5 is cut for the Gen 3 Glock 21 in .45 ACP. Per Alpha Shooting Sports, it also fits Gen 3 G20 and Polymer80 PF45 frames. It will not fit Gen 4 or Gen 5 pistols, which use different slide rail geometry.
No. This is a slide only. You'll need to supply a .45 ACP barrel, recoil spring assembly, firing pin, extractor, and channel liner is already installed. Many buyers transfer parts from a donor Glock 21 or source a complete internals kit to finish the build.
The optic pocket is machined to accept a Trijicon or Holosun 507 mounting footprint. A cover plate ships in the box for use without an optic. Confirm your specific sight matches the footprint before ordering mounting hardware.
Alpha Shooting Sports specifies a 200-round break-in for the slide to settle to optimal performance. Run quality .45 ACP during break-in, keep the slide properly lubricated, and confirm reliable function before carrying or relying on the pistol for duty.
Alpha Shooting Sports recommends professional installation. Building a complete slide requires correct staking, fit of the extractor and channel liner, and a function check of the optic mount and sights before live fire.
