FS/FT Nickel Boron Glock 17 Gen 3

I have not checked it at all, but I have seen nickel boron coated slides in display cases that appear to be stock, staright from the factory like that.

Correct, though I don't believe Glock does the coating.

Glock does NOT do the nickel boron coating. There are a couple companies that do it but they are sold as new by dealers who got them through distributors as exclusives. My is an Austria made Gen3 coated by WMD Guns who list their nickel boron as NiB-X. Ni-B should be the correct abbreviation for it. NIB is usually used for New In Box.

Cool, sorry for derailing the thread. I think they look good and I wouldn't mind having one.

I had two NibX Glocks, and both needed extra lube, otherwise they would FTF. I guess the slide tolerance was tight. It was a G20 and G19. It didn't happen all that often, but it never did it in my G20C or my Gen4 19 using same ammo.

Not to derail this thread even more but yet the slide tolerances are very tight. A couple of times the gun has gone into full battery from using the slide release but it functions fine power stroking it.
