N23 Special Order Overview:
Craft your slide to meet your tactical needs! Our Special Order process allows you to configure the slide model, optic cut, and coating finish to complete your perfect firearm! Just make a few easy selections with our form and let us do the rest! Within the estimated lead time, we can create your perfect slide made to your custom specifications. All our slides are machined from 17-4 Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel solid billet right here in Las Vegas, NV. Get yours started today!
Pro Tip: Special orders that match a stock configuration will be fulfilled first before placing stock online. This is the best way to get a stock slide reserved instead of waiting for a stock refresh that may not come.
Model:
This is where you choose the design that best meets your needs. We offer a wide range of models that blend functional features into attractive, precision machined designs. For additional information on each model click here to see their respective web pages. (N19 slide catalogue used for reference, the designs are the same)
Optic Milling:
We machine the optic cut directly onto the slide without the need of an adapter plate. Please consider this choice carefully as this decision is not reversible once the slide has been milled to that specification. Using different optics on footprints than the ones specified below is at your own discretion and compatibility is not guaranteed.
The following is applicable for all mounting footprints unless stated otherwise:
- All mounting footprints are placed in front of the rear dovetail
- Optic cut depths have been engineered to provide a lower 1/3rd co-witness with suppressor height sights
- All mounting footprints do not require an adapter plate or sealing plate to mount the optic. Sealing plates or shrouds are still recommended for use by the optic manufacturer for intended applications.
None: No optic cut will be milled onto the slide. Sight mounting features will still be in the factory location. Please note that we will not re-cut an optic cut into the slide once it has been heat treated and hardened.
Aimpoint Acro: Slide will ship with the specific rail feature to mount the Aimpoint Acro C-1, C-2, P-1, or P-2 optics directly to the slide with the included optic hardware. The Steiner MPS can be used on this footprint but there will be a gap from the front of the footprint to the MPS. This footprint is not compatible with the Holosun 509T.
Holosun SCS: This optic is very light and may require recoil spring adjustment for reliable operation. Slide will ship ready to mount the Holosun SCS at a depth to lower 1/3rd co-witness with factory height sights. Suppressor height sights will provide a full co-witness instead of our usual lower 1/3rd. Special shortened mounting screws will be provided to mount the optic and requires a T10 Torx Drive head to tighten.
Holosun 407C/507C/508T: Slide will ship ready to mount those optics directly. Please use the proprietary screws that Holosun provides with the optic. This footprint is our default option for stocked slides so be sure to check our online store inventory before placing a special order with this option to avoid an unnecessary lead time.
Holosun 407K/507K/EPS Carry*/RMSc Shield: Slide will ship ready to mount those optics directly. For the Holosun optics, you will have to shorten the right-side optic mount screw as they are too long and will run into the plunger rod.
*For the Holosun EPS Carry, you must use their provided mounting plate and shorten the right-side mounting screw to avoid interfering with the plunger rod. Skipping these steps will result in your optic not being tightened down sufficiently and/or operational issues from compressing the plunger rod with the screw.
Holosun 509T: Slide will ship with the specific rail feature to mount the 509T directly with recoil stop slot. This footprint is not compatible with the Aimpoint Acro footprint; the Acro rail is much thinner.
Leupold Deltapoint Pro: Slide will ship ready to install the Deltapoint Pro directly. This option includes the 4 corner locating posts and is not compatible with the Romeo 1 Pro. Unique to this cut is the removal of the rear dovetail to allow space for the Deltapoint Pro’s rear sight attachment. Suppressor height sights are not tall enough to co-witness with this optic. We’ve had success co-witnessing with the Ameriglo .407” front (Part number GST 407) and the Deltapoint Pro Rear sight. Please use the screws from the Deltapoint Pro box to mount this optic to the slide.
Trijicon RMR: Slide will ship ready to mount the Trijicon RMR or SRO. This footprint is identical to the Holosun 507C footprint but we include special mounting screws for use with the Trijicon optics. This footprint is our default option for stocked slides so be sure to check our online store inventory before placing a special order with this option to avoid an unnecessary lead time.
Trijicon RMR Reverse Dovetail: Slide will ship ready to mount the Trijicon RMR but with the dovetail in front of the optic. Note that this option will shift the optic further back on the slide and SRO users will see their optic window run into the rear sight if installed. Ships with a pair of special height mounting screws.
Trijicon RMRcc: Slide will ship ready to mount the RMRcc. This footprint is unique and will only work with the Trijicon RMRcc. Screws are not included with this optic cut; the RMRcc comes with the correct mounting screws in the box.
Vortex Venom (Reverse Dovetail): Slide will ship ready to mount the Vortex Venom with the dovetail in front of the optic due to the larger optic size and curved front geometry. Please be advised that this optic cut will not support the Vortex Viper as we mill the mount perimeter to exact geometry of the Venom. Ships with a pair of special height mounting screws.
Vortex Viper: Slide will ship ready to mount the Vortex Viper. Please be advised that this optic cut will not support the Vortex Venom as we mill the mount perimeter to the exact geometry of the Viper. Ships with a pair of special height mounting screws.
Slide Finish:
We offer a variety of different options for finishing/coating your slide after it has been milled. Please review the following options to see which best meets your tactical needs.
Unfinished (Media Blasted): Select this option if you wish to get it coated from another vendor. We media blast the slide with a roughness to make it ready for coating. The slide will be shipped in an unfinished state not ready for operation. It is inadvisable to use the slide in this condition and may void your warranty if issues occur.
Black DLC: Slide will arrive with a coated solid black Diamond-like Carbon finish.
Battle Hardened Black DLC: Slide will arrive with our distressed black DLC finish with highlighted edges.
Titanium Carbon-Nitride (TiCN Copper): Slide will arrive coated with a satin copper finish. This coating is not as durable as the black, gold, or gray coatings and will show wear sooner.
Titanium Nitride (TiN Gold): Slide will arrive coated with a satin gold finish.
Chromium Nitride (CrN Gray): Slide will arrive coated with a satin gray finish.
Satin Stainless Steel: Slide will arrive with a semi-polished, non-directional soft satin stainless steel finish (uncoated). Low reflectivity and a clean, uniform look set this premium finish apart from others while maintaining cosmetic longevity. Frequent cleaning and lubrication are required for this finish since there is no coating.
Cerakote: All other colors not identified above are achieved through Cerakote. Slide will arrive with a single color Cerakote coating of your choice offering unmatched corrosion, chemical and durability performance.
Norsso standard slide features:
- Made with 17-4 Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel

G23 reptile C battle hardened
I received the G23 Reptile C slide with the holosun 507k x2 milling and battled hardened look. Right out of the box I was impressed with the slide. All the milled edges we're smooth no buring or thought faces. The battle hardened look was a nice feature that some slide manufacturers don't have. The one issue I did have was the Holosun 507k x2 factory screws to mount the optic were to long and impeded on the travel of the exstractor pin. I called Norsso and they helped me with a solution over the phone including the thread pattern in which the milled for the optic. From ordering to receiving and the customer service when I contacted Norsso I will be ordering another g23 slide in gen 3 very soon. 5 stars

G23 special order Gripper slide
Excellent slide fit, finish and manufacturer. My WC Vickers rear sight require some fitting. A little more than another aftermarket Glock slide I have. Just a small note on an excellent slide. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to the aftermarket for their Glock slide needs.

G23 special order
The G23 Tiger 2.0 is awesome. Nobody else is making Gen 4 G23 slides. I’m very impressed with the quality of product in both craftsmanship and presentation. The slide was flawless and clean, and showed up protected and very neatly packaged. Haven’t shot it yet, but it was assembled with no issues, and mounted to the frame and KKM barrel perfectly. Thanks.

The ultimate in design and craftsmanship!!
My Experience with Norsso was Exceptional from the moment that I called/placed my order.... until my slides were shipped/received. When I called Norsso to inquire about the different custom options for my G23 and P320 slides... they took the time and patience to answer all my questions/concerns in great detail in a professional and respectful manner. The answers they provided to my questions left no doubt in my mind that manufacturing and highest possible quality slides isn't simply a job, but rather a passion of those at Norsso. When I received my package with my custom slides, they were package in a way that they would not be damaged during shipment/foam padded boxes... it was explained to me that the timeline/lead time posted on their website of 6 to 8 weeks was only an estimate and probably worse case scenario. I'm not sure where in a process the P320 slide that I ordered was at the time I place my order, but I do know that the Glock G23 slides are made to order... It was also explained to me that they send the slides out to have the DLC finish performed. From start to finish.... Having said that, the process was completed and I received notification of shipment exactly one month after I place my order... even the package was delivered a day earlier than forecasted... The bottom line, Norsso manufacturers some of the most amazing slides on the market... Their custom millwork, fitment and finish are truly second to none!! This was my first purchase/experience with Norsso, but I can say with 100% certainty that it won't be my last.

Glock 23 Special Order
Extremely impressed! From the start the guys at Norsso were helpful. I felt bad for all my emails/questions I had, not once did they make me feel like a nuisance. It’s my first Glock slide, I wanted to make sure I was spending my hard earned money on a quality product. I did a lot of research online and decided to give Norsso a try, with all the great reviews they had. My order came sooner than expected and let me tell you... it looked awesome online and even better in person. Thank you guys so much not only does my Glock look legit, it feels a bit lighter but oddly enough more durable!

G23 Gen4 Tiger Claw 2.0 slide
First off a big shout out to Norsso. They have excellent communication with their customers. I ordered just before the holidays so I knew it was going to take a bit longer than normal for a special order. Norsso responded to every e-mail I sent and even sent unsolicited updates. I love the Tiger Claw 2.0 G23 Gen4 slide! Fit and finish are superb!! Ameriglo sights went on just fine. Zev upper parts kit (minus plunger assy, extractor FPS) fit perfect. LoneWolf SS black extractor fits perfect as does the Suarez NP3 FPS and Extreme plunger unit. Stock Glock Ge4 G23 recoil guide rod fits as does LoneWolf Gen4 SS guide rod. Tried various Gen3 to Gen4 guide rod adapters. LoneWolf, L2D Combat and Taran Tactical all fit and work with Taran and LoneWold Gen3 guide rods. Only issue was the LANTAC GB-G4-N adapter with crenulated crown. It was a VERY tight fit on the stock G23 slide and was a little to big for the Norsso Gen4 slide. My guess is the Lantac part is slightly oversized to fit OEM slides. OEM G23 barrel fit fine as does the KKM 40to9 conversion barrel I have in the slide now. Have not had a chance to get to the range yet due to winter but soon!! Will update this review or write a new one when I get a range report ready. I have some pictures I took here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jforhan/albums/72157712900336857 If you are debating getting a Norsso slide, DON'T. GO AND ORDER IT NOW! You won't be disappointed.
