This guide details how to perform a slide swap between the new Glock 49 and the Glock 45, demonstrating how to create a standard Glock 19 Gen 5 and a standard Glock 17 Gen 5. The video, presented by Lenny Magill, highlights the modularity of these Glock models.

This guide details the modularity of the Glock 47 MOS, highlighting its compatibility with Glock 19 and 17 components. The video, presented by Mrgunsngear, emphasizes how armorers and enthusiasts can create various configurations by mixing slides and frames, leveraging the G19-length dust cover on the G47 MOS. It also touches on magazine compatibility and the Gen5 trigger and slide features.

This guide details how to achieve the functionality of both the Glock 43x and Glock 48 by swapping aftermarket slides onto a single frame. The video highlights that since both models share the same frame, purchasing an aftermarket slide for the alternative length is more cost-effective than buying a second complete firearm. This modification allows users to experience different barrel lengths and sight radii with minimal effort.

This guide details how to swap slides and frames between the Sig Sauer P365XL and P365 X-Macro, leveraging the P365's modular fire control group (FCG). The video, presented by MrBigKid, highlights the compatibility and limitations of these swaps, emphasizing that while slides and frames are largely interchangeable, barrel length differences can prevent certain combinations. This modification allows users to customize their EDC firearm's ergonomics and performance characteristics.
