Timber Creek Outdoors GLMCPRE Glock 17/19 Slide Cover Plate

The Timber Creek Outdoors GLMCPRE slide cover plate protects your Glock 17 or 19's rear sight dovetail from dust and debris while maintaining clean aesthetics. If you're sourcing parts or building a complete setup, TacticCAL Gun Store serves Richmond and the greater Bay Area as your trusted FFL dealer in Silicon Valley.

Slide plate protection and installation

This cover plate slides into the factory dovetail on Glock 17 and 19 models without requiring permanent modification. Installation is straightforward—no gunsmithing needed. The plate fills the gap where iron sights or optics aren't mounted, preventing lint and moisture from settling into the cut. When you're ready to upgrade to night sights or mount an optic, removal is just as simple. Check our FFL transfer pricing for transfer services. Browse our firearms dealer.

Frequently asked questions

Will this cover plate fit both the Glock 17 and Glock 19?

Yes. The GLMCPRE is designed to fit both Glock 17 and Glock 19 models. The rear dovetail dimensions are identical across these two frames, so one plate works for either pistol.

Does the cover plate stay secure during handling and recoil?

The plate sits snugly in the factory dovetail cut and remains in place during normal use and shooting. It's not spring-loaded or pinned, so it relies on a tight mechanical fit to stay put.
