Glocks are iconic weapons for a reason. While their most important features are their reliability and their effectiveness, they’re also modular. In addition to making the gun easy to repair, that modularity allows you to swap out those factory parts for aftermarket ones. You can make your Glock your own.
One of the easiest parts to swap is the back plate. There are thousands of aftermarket back plates that feature logos, iconic designs, custom text, and just about anything else you can imagine. That’s a lot of designs to try to wade through to find the right one for you — and that’s why we created this firearm customization guide. Let’s dive into the top 10 back plate designs members of our community have added to their personal handguns.
1. Thin Blue Line
MILSPIN is proud to support the officers who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. With our Thin Blue Line back plate being one of our top-selling back plates, we’re happy to see that our customers feel the same. Pay homage to the boys (and girls) in blue with this first responder back plate.
2. Blacked Out American Flag
This tactical back plate for Glocks was made for the patriots who value subtlety in their firearm customization. Add the Star-Spangled Banner to your firearm without disrupting the all-black design philosophy of a factory Glock.
3. F*ck Around Find Out
Sometimes, carrying a gun is just as much about sending a message as it is about self-defense. That’s why we released our F*ck Around Find Out back plate, featuring the iconic Gadsden flag, bold engraved text, and nine different materials.
4. “I’m Your Huckleberry”
With a line so iconic from a scene so memorable, crafting a back plate for it was a no-brainer. Add that electric confidence to your handgun with a Glock back plate cover that features Doc Holliday’s mustache and famous line engraved with a CNC milling machine into your choice of material.
5. American Flag
No tactical black coating. No extra text. Designed for minimalist firearm customization, our American flag back plate design is a simple engraving of the flag of the greatest country on Earth on your choice of eight different materials.
6. USMC EGA Icon
Our Eagle, Globe, and Anchor back plate adds the official emblem of the United States Marine Corps to your Glock. As a company founded by USMC Recon Veterans, this military slide back plate has a special place in our collection. Whether you’re a marine yourself or just want to show your admiration for the Corps, this back plate was designed for you.
7. Just The Tip
Life’s too short to be serious all the time with your firearm customization. Our Just The Tip back plate gives you a laugh every time you draw your gun — and a warning to whoever forced you to draw in the first place.
8. Tri-Color USA Flag
Minimalist flag back plate designs are a tactical spin on the original, but there’s no replacement for the classic Red, White, and Blue. Our tri-color American flag back plate may lack 43 of the stars and five of the stripes, but it captures the colors that make our flag so iconic.
9. Engraved Cross
God’s judgment is final. Your Glock makes it swift. Our cross back plate, engraved in the material and color of your choice, is firearm customization that marks your weapon as a tool of the Lord.
10. Bad Mother
Who are you? That’s right — you’re a badass. With our Bad Mother back plate design, you’ll make sure everyone around you knows you’re not someone to mess with.
