Description
The Mueller’s Skink is a compact, purpose-built slide cover plate designed for shooters who value clean aesthetics and reliable protection. It’s for Glock owners who want to eliminate the factory logo and secure the striker channel without adding bulk. Since we started stocking it in Q1 2025, it’s become a consistent favorite with repeat customers.
Stand-Out Features
- Durable, Low-Profile Finish: The matte coating is deceptively tough. Our staff tested it through multiple aggressive cleaning cycles with Hoppes No. 9 solvent, and it showed no signs of wear or degradation.
- Precision Drop-In Fit: Machined to exact specifications for a seamless, flush installation on compatible Glock models. No fitting or gunsmithing required.
- Logo Elimination: Replaces the factory-marked cover plate with a clean, unmarked surface for a streamlined, professional look.
- Secure Striker Channel Protection: Maintains a complete seal over the striker assembly, keeping out debris and moisture just like the OEM part.
- Lightweight Design: Adds negligible mass to the slide, preserving the pistol’s original balance and handling characteristics.

Your Questions Answered
Will this fit my Gen 5 Glock 19?
Yes. The Skink is compatible with Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 models in the listed caliber families. It uses the same factory pin for installation.
How does the finish hold up to holster wear?
The matte coating is remarkably resilient. It’s designed to match the wear characteristics of a factory slide finish. Customer feedback and our own handling confirm it resists holster abrasion well.
Is the install tool included?
No, the Skink is a bare part. Installation requires a Glock disassembly tool or a small punch to drive out the factory cover plate pin. The process takes under a minute.
