So recently I got an aftermarket slide for my Glock 17. Now i’m left over with a factory Glock MOS slide. I’m not sure if I reallt want to keep it as a spare. I’m thinking of selling it but I’m a bit confused about the legallity. From what I understand just the lower/frame is the restricted firearm and a slide can be sold to essentially anyone. My concern is that the Glock slide has the matching serial number on it that is also on the frame. Would you feel comfortable with someone having your serial number? Thoughts?

Thanks

Jon
 
A slide is a slide is a slide.....even if you sold it and it somehow made it's way to a crime scene with a serial number that matched your frame really no concern it's the frame serial number they would be investigating more so.

Is it a complete slide I'd possibly be interested.

Yeah that mostly aligns with what I was thinking. Thanks for the info
 
I've sold many different slides/uppers over the years. Never thought too much about it. Who ever buys it doesn't need to know who has the frame nor they should care.
 
GENERALLY speaking, the slide assembly is NOT a co trolled/registered component of a firearm by Canadian law. There are exceptions to this however, for example, ruger mk x pistols, the “upper” is considered the receiver and the registered part or firearm. I’m regards to YOUR situation, you are totally within the legal zone to sell your complete or stripped Glock slide. You needn’t contact the RCMP, or firearms officer, or conduct a transfer or anything of the sort. There’s actually a few Glock slides for sale right this moment on the EE.

Having watched too much CSI, I am thinking about a ballistic analysis confirms a bullet is fired from this barrel, with this serial #, which belongs to this firearm's owner.

It is interesting that in movies and TV shows, the top and bottom halves of the guns never seem to be considered separable.

You got that right. Hollywood/TV industry is in the fantasies/entertainment business. Reality is not in their vocabulary.
OP. Its the frame/receiver that is the registered part. You can sell your slide/barrel assembly.

Yeah I wasn't too concerned about some CSI type scenario but I suppose if anything ever came up it's good to know that its totally OK to sell a Glock slide separate from the frame.

Thanks
