- Every single day we get requests from customers who have lost their OEM Glock MOS cover plate, which is basically impossible to source for them.
That’s why we decided to make our own.… and then decided to make it better!
Let's start a conversation in the comments… I read every single one!
Thanks for watching!

Do you have trouble racking your slide?
My 43 is smooth as silk.
NO
Yes
Arthritis in my left thumb is a bitch, but slide rackers like Tango Down are perfect. I just wish they covered 45ACP models.
You lost all credibility when you started making blue colored guns that look just like training guns.
I'm 75 with arthritis and I appreciate this idea, I'll be getting one for my 43x because I ain't 25 anymore.
I’m with you on the arthritis as I have it in both thumbs. It can be a painful operation just racking the slide because of the arthritis. Been thinking about picking up a 43x real soon. Might have to put on one of these plates.
Anything that makes racking the slide easier is a win in my book. Keep up the good work
Especially for me with my arthritic hands
ONLY Lenny can hold my interest for 8 minutes changing an MOS plate
Not sure what it is, but I agree. No interest in this product but I said what the hell and watched the whole thing. But I did learn about the difference between Red and Blue loctite.
Lenny is the man. His years of experience shows through every demo.
I went to the range again yesterday..... finally and had a lot of fun shooting..... I noticed racking the slide on my Glock 26 was stiffer than before..... but you know as you age, and I'm 70 now..... somehow your hand strength goes down as your age goes up.... if I had an MOS Glock now I know where to buy a useful optic cover
Lenny, love this new MOS offering from the GS!
We did exactly what you said and visited you the last week in February for some shooting time at Range #2 and the recommendations and expertise advice I received from Patrick on my purchase, I couldn't have gotten anywhere else.
GS is my new go-to for ALL my Glock needs and accessories!
We sure miss you here in San Diego Lenny. What a loss for the guns and shooting community here in San Diego when you decided to move to Tennessee. But we sure understand and don’t blame you one bit for moving out of the most miserable anti gun state in the entire country bar none. Just thankful we can still access you and your great store on line. I hope the gun community in Tennessee appreciates what they have in you, your employees and your store. Keep up the great work Lenny and all the best to you and your family.
Your a smart dude Lenny! You come up with all kinds of cool adaptions!
Lenny keep up the great work you and the staff are doing.👍💪
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! Lenny My husband has lose massive strength in his hands and your technique of holding and pushing works wonders. He was so upset that he couldn’t rack is 45. But now he can! Thanks again
Thanks for the video and great product! Hope you keep rolling out accessibility products fine sir! As a normal user never thought about this issue, but take out a newer shooter (especially young, older, or with hand or grip issues) and this issue can be highlighted quickly with a solution like this needed well done.
I carry without a round in the chamber for my own reasons this makes perfect sense to draw and rack easily
Seems like a neat idea to me, doesn’t hurt to have a bit more grip sometimes, especially on the slim frame models.
Great idea. Simple and easy to use.
genius idea! Always thinking ahead.
This would be an excellent option for people with arthritic hands. This is not something I'm currently needing, but as a person with arthritic hands, I can totally understand how this may help me down the road.
I’ve done a lot of slides as well. My favorites have always been the old school metal tornado slides. You don’t see many nowadays…
A cool concept. A lot of people won't be able to use it cuz they want to run an optic. But this would be a good reason for someone to buy the MOS version even if they're die hard iron sight guys
Like the HK VP9 and it's rear slide wings.
I would love something like this for the G42
What you need do the thread locker is called Vibra-Tite. I dries before you install the screw. If you instruct folks to use even the blue locktite on such a tiny screw, they will have issues getting them out without buggering the heads of the screws.
I watched as my Grandfather gradually lost his ability to easily rack his 1911. I took that and gave him a S&W 686. He’s since passed but I witnessed the frustration he experienced. It’s sad to read some of the ridiculous comments.
That's a pretty good idea, Lenny!
Another good and helpful idea from Lenny
Interesting use of 3D printing, what kind of filament was used if you don't mind me asking?
Excellent idea!
Awesome video sir
durability matters, but I'm even more intrigued by those unique features that differentiate it from other models. Innovation like this is what keeps the firearm community thriving.
Thanks Lenny
Appreciate you ,!!
Pretty cool add to help with slide pull. Can’t find it on the GS website 🤔
Older topic question because this video is pretty new so I thought it would be a better bet for a reply.
Apart from the copper material, does Glock oil & lube a new pistol as you demonstrated?
Or is it bone dry?
I'm curious if needed right out of the box before first use?
You don’t need multiplication either. You could just add the same number again and again. It just makes things easier. Just because you don’t need something, doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
Love it!
Stupid simple idea that no-one has thought of before. Patent that, Lenny, if you haven't already!
Now, that is innovation!
I just ordered one....Thanks for the video.
Nice invention!!
My wife and I plan to visit Nashville soon and will visit the Glock Store. We enjoy your informative videos. I want to customize my G43 and she may want to do her G42.
If you fly in, it's only a few minutes from the airport.
Is this available for Glock 42? My wife has weak grip strength and has difficulty racking the slide. I wouldn't mind one on my 30s as well. Could also be important for quicker and more sure slide racking in emergency situation, or in the dark.
No & Yes. (I don’t own any but from what I handled)
Pocket sized guns are for some reason hard to rack. Either it’s too small (hard to grip properly) or the spring is ridiculously strong.
Sub-compact to normal size no issue.
I pocket carry a Kel-Tec p3at everyday and it's a royal pain in the azz to rack the slide because it's such a small area to grab... I wish I could get something like that on my carry gun
My g43x also has that grey finish instead of the milky black. Was it just a batch of slightly different finished g43x??
cool idea in concept... but I'm not sure why this would be better or worse than a backplate with similar functionality.... but that can be quicker to disassemble. then again... more options more better.
my glock 10mm is a lot more than 9mm…love it
I remember seeing a Glock striker plate replacement that also assists in racking the slide. Am I mistaken?
Brilliant!
I don’t even own a Glock and I end up watching all of Lenny’s videos!
Granted, the rock Island Glock clone but still, great videos
I just rack the slide on my G19 using my red dot. But some guns I do prefer using the factory sights. Looks like a genius design that I've never seen on any gun.
Glocks store lenny, how about some stuff for rhe compact 45 acp? Everything is for the g 43x. The g 30,30s is almost as small but in a bigger round. I guess everone is shifting to 9mm over past 10 years. Most of my handguns are 9mm. But i also have a couple 45acp. For fun shooting its hard to beat a big pill 💊.
Looking for a peep sight of my glock 19 gen 5 MOS, ideas please. Not looking for a red dot at this time.
Make a frame safety like Glock did for the Army trials.
Why? A decent trigger finger discipline is enough to prevent a negligent discharge.
Funny....so many people criticizing H&K for the VP9 racking "ears" on the back of the gun when it came out. Now look what they are making for glocks. Lmfao.
Are these replacements made out of metal or cheap plastic too?
Do you make one for springfield xds mod 2 9mm lost cover plate
What timing, I went shooting with my sister the other day and she was having trouble racking the slide. My hk has little things on the side of the slide that make it easier and she liked that but hk doesn’t make a smaller gun like the 43x I told her I would probably buy a Glock if I had to do it again just cause there are so many parts and accessories available for Glock that aren’t available for HK . Don’t get me wrong I think stock my HK is a better gun than a stock Glock but it’s nice to be able to walk into any store and know that they’ll have stuff for my Glock…
If you Mill the slide on my g19 would it be the exact same as my g47?
Personally, I just went with a Glock Slide Charging Handle attachment. It attaches to the back of the slide.
Are you able to use gen 4 slide internals and sights on a gen 3 slide?
I would consider wings to fit my my Holosun 507 43X MOS so I don’t grapple my optics.
There you go, great idea. An enhanced grip intended to work with the optic.
Vickers and Springer Precision Slide Rackers: Are we a joke to you 👀
Does Glock make a mod slide for the gen 4 19?
For years I’ve used clear finger nail polish, as a thread lock.
If you could do this plate as a combo for an RMSC pattern, that would be perfect for my wife.
Make the wings but a plate that fits under the red dot.
Where do I send my Glock 43x to have the mag release changed?
Good idea, but I would like to know how the hell you could lose the plate
Is that a Richard milly?
Lenny did you sale used cars before this?
Direct link to product?
Sorry, I’m not familiar with Glocks so I ask you: what is a MOS gun? Thanks 😊
Modular Optic System. They come with a standard optic cut on the slide that then adapts to a specific optic footprint using a plate.
So, as I understand this, these ONLY work if you aren't running an optic.. . Correct?
If Lenny's arms get any bigger he's gonna have to start shopping in the men's department
Can You Guys Make This in a Gold Color as Well as a Rose Gold Color Variant?
Contact our Custom Shop, we can Cerakote any one of our custom parts.
Do you make a plate for the slides you mill for your customers. Im worried what happens if I end up taking off the optic of a Glock Store milled slide.
We make one to fit the 507C/RMR footprint or the 507K footprint! SKU: 12001 on our website.
@@glockstore i failed to specify. I considering having you do my glock 43
Great! That's the same SKU and we offer it for The 507K footprint on the Glock 43X
My G23 Gen 5 MOS cover plate is made of steel.
"boom"
Early MOS guns had a steel plate. When they switched to plastic, I mean polymer. They took all the money saved and put it in their other pocket. Surprised they didn't leave it metal on the Gen 5 Mos, and introduce a Glock Gen. 6 Mos with a polymer cover plate. Or a metal reinforced polymer plate. . 😂😂😅😅
Yeah, some pencil pusher in an office found a way to save money. Most people that buy an MOS will be using a red dot though, so I'm surprised they didn't decide to just ditch the plate completely.
@embrocated9400 lol, that does sound like something that would be in small print. Glock 19 gen 5 MOS.
"cover plate sold separately "
No and I have a gen 3 19 and a gen 5 19x absolutely no issues
Then this product isn’t for you. These comments like yours are cracking me up. It’s like you’re personally triggered that it’s even implied you have trouble racking the slide so you have to comment and make sure we all know you have big strong hands.
Bud, 9/10 gun owners don’t need this product. This is for the 1/10, if you can rack a slide just fine- guess what? You aren’t the target demographic of this product.
👍
Should have made the firing pin plate with wings on the side. If you do I want to be the first to buy it. This is a good idea but useless if you put a red dot.
Love the videos, but why buy a MOS gun? Just to buy the adapter to run the slide?
their products are great., however,,, it takes loads of time to get their products once paid... I've got a Glock 21 and ordered and paid for the 10mm barrel.. I called and was on hold forever. I then texted the number that the answering machine says to do so.. my text told me that they would be back in stock mid March.. I text again for any type of update..."crickets."
I think that’s just for actual firearms. I’ve ordered various accessories and gotten them within the week.
the 10mm barrel was an accessory @@wiseinvestments5134
Mostly old people will use that , neat idea Lenny .
Hey, I identify with that remark😂
Naw. I actually added a Glock Slide Charging Handle to the back of my Glock 29SF because I prefer not to carry with a round in the chamber.
If I am wearing thick winter gloves in freezing weather, I want to be able to pull my conceal carry and reliably rack the slide with minimal effort.
I also have arthritis that can act up really bad on occasion if I don't maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, and that makes my grip strength significantly weakened on some bad day mornings. I'm 27 yr old male and I love having the attachment.
But I also have a Thumb Rest Lever to help mitigate some of the 10mm recoil from using high-powered loads in a compact form factor. In addition, I run a 4.5" barrel on my Glock 29SF that has been ported on the upper portion to divert gasses upwards and aid in recoil mitigation and reducing time between follow-up shots.
It's around 40-60% less recoil every shot depending on if I am firing a medium or hot 10mm load.
I just tried to order and WILL NOT add the enhanced plate to basket 🙁
We are working on this now.
Please stand by.
@@glockstore thank you
It is available now. Thank you for your patience.
@@glockstore worked perfectly, thank you again.
Lenny is a God to some of US, this is basically an episode of church for me
Dang plastic! If it was metal I would be all for it.
Wager Machine Works will mill your slide and have it back to you in 7 days 😤
Now here is an idea.....Put the same tabs on any optic plate.
Boom :)
Not sure what MOS means BUT, do you machine ALL Glock models for this part?
Good ole Lenny selling snake oil 😂
Lenny, I notice that you use a thumb and one finger to rack a slide. Why not use the technique that Glock teaches in their Instructor program? With the firearm in your dominant hand, place the palm swell of the non-dominant hand against the slide BEHIND the ejection port, and the four fingers against the other slide. This gives you the strength of your ENTIRE hand to manipulate the slide, rather than a thumb and half a finger. Quick, efficient, and WAY more controllable. And as well, the "slingshot" technique is just plain stupid.

I drop my gun too oftern ( only takes one drop) to run a red dot or halo site. Its gonna break if it hits just right. I dropped my ruger max and it landed on the back side of the grip at the lower rear magize. Mag fell out bottom plate of mag came off ,bullets everyware .worst of all the spring that runs along the back of the mag ,inside the grip, brok off at the top. A cheap plastic pin is all that holds it. My gunsmith said that should never happen. He fixed it with a metal securing pin. Said now it wont happen again. Bad engineering by ruger folks.
If my life was on the line I be dead as the Ruger max is a poor hammer 🔨🔨🔨🔨😮
Does every Glock owner have arthritis ??? 😂😂
That plate goes to 11…
Arthritic hands make it difficult-to rack the slide.
Will be great for my wife
Thats Loctite 🤡🤦♂️🤦♂️ blue stuff in the screw
Or you can replace that 30 pound recoil spring with a 10 pound spring and it will not only be easier to operate it will reduce recoil and muzzle flip. All the Glock experts told me that will never work but it works like a champ with zero feeding issues.
You could also just remove the recoil spring.
