Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my Glock channel liner?
Replace it every 5,000-10,000 rounds or if you see cracks, discoloration, or damage during cleaning. It’s a wear item.
Can I install it without the tool?
You can try with a 3/32″ punch, but it’s risky. The liner is plastic and must go in straight. Crooked installation can crack it, causing malfunctions.
Is the liner OEM quality?
Yes. It’s a standard 3/32″ polymer firing pin channel liner that meets spec for all Glocks. It’s the same material as the factory part.
Do I need this for a new Glock?
Not unless you’re doing custom work. A new pistol has a factory liner. You’ll need this kit when that liner wears out or if you’re building a new slide from parts.
