New Glock 17 Talo w/FailZero EXO slide (Pics)

Stopped by the local gun store today and saw a Glock 17 with what looked like a hard chrome slide.

I've owned a couple of Glock 17L's for the last 2 years and started to realize they just didn't point right for me so figured that this 17 would be the same, but had to hold it anyways.

Well I guess the longer slide was the problem because this 17 just felt right, and it looked neat to.

Got it home a little bit ago and have added Ameriglo Pro-Operator sights to it, think it will make a great addition to my CCW/Home Defense rotation(21SF, 19Gen4, 19, 23, 17L & 26 plus others).

Found out the slide is finished with FailZero EXO which is supposed to be 40% harder than hard chrome and self lubricating. Not a bad addition for $30, plus I've always wanted a black and silver Glock.

I carry a Glock 17 every day as a CCW. Just wish I could get mine refinished in EXO. The finish on my 22 year old Glock is rough, but it has no rust issues.

I've heard that from a few people, no refinishing customers guns.

Sounds like a good reason for a new gun

I'm already wanting a 19 when they come out, god knows I need a 4th compact Glock(currently 2-19, 1-23)

How did they get the melonite off? If they put it on top, how do you know there isisnt rust underneath? or pitting.

New guns that have tennifer treatment to the steel, no finish to worry about.

No, bit of a drive from Washington.

ETA: I just updated my profile to show where i was from.

Can the slides be purchased separately or only complete pistols?
