▌ WHAT’S INSIDE

Every Glock generation has a different parts ecosystem, and not every NDZ part fits every gen. The guide maps it cleanly: which extractor, which guide rod, which magwell, which rear plate fits Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 5, and Gen 6 — and which parts carry across multiple generations so you can transfer a build between frames. We flag the Gen 6 changes that broke compatibility with older parts and call out where a Gen 4-era part still works on a Gen 5 with no modification.

Order matters. Installing the trigger pack before the slide work locks you out of certain adjustments; torquing the rear plate before checking sight alignment costs you 10 minutes you didn’t have to spend. The guide walks the install in the sequence that minimizes rework, with torque specs at every fastener — in inch-pounds, called out for the exact fastener spec NDZ ships. No guessing, no over-torquing a brass plate into a hairline crack.

Three complete builds you can copy or adapt: an entry build covering the bare-minimum reliability upgrades (extractor + plunger), a mid build adding the full trigger pack, sights, and magwell, and a flagship build anchored on the Gen 6 Brass Rear Plate that’s the visual benchmark for the rest of NDZ’s program. Each build lists every part by SKU, the install order, and the post-install function-test we run before the gun leaves the bench.

▌ WHY NDZ

• ▌CNC-machined in the USA. Same shop, same tolerances, every part.
• ▌Laser-engraved, not coated. No Cerakote thickness fitment issues. The finish is the metal.
• ▌We don’t make fire-control parts. Your trigger, striker, and connector stay factory. The 95% of aftermarket failures forum threads talk about? That’s where they live. We don’t sell them.
• ▌Drop-in, no gunsmith. Every part in the guide installs at your kitchen table in under 15 minutes.

▌ FREQUENTLY ASKED

Is it really free?

Yes. We make money when you build a better Glock — sharing what we know is part of how that happens.

Will you spam me?

No. We send a 4-email welcome series over the first week, then standard NDZ Performance updates. You can unsubscribe from any one of them.

Will it fit my generation?

The guide includes a per-product compatibility table covering Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 5, Gen 6, and the V models. Glock changed cuts twice in the last two years — the table shows you exactly which NDZ part fits what you own.

I just got a Gen 6 or V model. Anything I should know?

The Gen 6 optic mounting system (ORS) ships with a polymer plate that has flexed for some owners under recommended torque. We didn’t make that part — but we cover the issue and the fix (a steel ORS plate from a third party) in the guide so your build doesn’t trip over it.

What if I shoot a different platform?

We’re rolling out guides for Sig P320, M&P, and 1911 next. Drop your email and we’ll let you know when yours is ready.
