LIMITED EDITION: FAXON HELLFIRE COMPLETE SLIDE FOR GLOCK® 19 GEN 3
FAXON HELLFIRE COMPLETE SLIDE FOR GLOCK® 19 GEN 3 / G19BCHFRMR-01-C-01
The Faxon Hellfire Complete Slide (G19BCHFRMR-01-C-01) is the factory-assembled slide sub-assembly from the FX-19X Hellfire Compact pistol, sold as a standalone drop-in upgrade for your Glock® 19 Gen 3 or FX-19 Gen 2 frame. It ships ready to drop onto your existing frame with a Faxon Match Series flame-fluted threaded barrel already installed, Night Fision® Optics-Ready Stealth Series night sights set in place, and the Trijicon RMR® footprint optic cut covered and ready. At the same $375.00 price as the Duty Complete Slide, the Hellfire steps up to a threaded 1/2×28 Match Series barrel in 416-R stainless with flame fluting — making it the right pick any time a suppressor or EXOS® compensator is in the picture.
The Hellfire slide profile pairs aggressive top-and-rear serrations with a bold exterior geometry that’s the most visually distinct build in the Faxon lineup. It is compact (Glock® 19-length), making it equally at home on a Glock® 19 Gen 3 carry frame or as the compact slide on a full-size FX-19X build for a command-grip, fast-handling combination. No FFL transfer required. Shipped direct. Made in Ohio.
The Faxon Hellfire Complete Slide is a pistol component, not a serialized firearm. It ships directly to your door without an FFL dealer transfer. Verify your local and state laws regarding threaded barrel components and suppressor-ready pistol parts before ordering.
The Match Series barrel installed in this slide is threaded 1/2×28 and ships with a thread protector pre-installed. Remove the protector to mount directly to most 9mm suppressors or the Faxon EXOS-513 pistol compensator — no thread adapter, no barrel swap, nothing additional to purchase. This is the primary feature distinction over the Duty Complete Slide, which ships with a non-threaded barrel. If a suppressor or compensator is part of your build, this is the slide to choose.
The Faxon Match Series barrel in this slide is machined in-house from 416-R stainless steel — a step up in material from the 4150 CMV of the Duty Series. Flame fluting reduces barrel weight and improves heat dissipation during sustained fire. Like all Faxon barrels, it is QPQ nitrided inside and out. This is the same Match Series flame-fluted threaded barrel Faxon sells as a standalone drop-in upgrade for Glock® 19 Gen 2–5 pistols, factory-installed here with the slide and sights already matched.
The Faxon Hellfire Slide carries the boldest serrations and most aggressive exterior profile of any slide in the FX-19 lineup. Front and rear slide serrations are cut for maximum purchase under the worst conditions — gloves, wet hands, extreme stress. The Hellfire profile is the defining visual element of the FX-19X Hellfire pistol and makes this a distinctly different build from the cleaner, more understated Duty and Patriot slide profiles. Nitride finish for corrosion and wear resistance.
Night Fision® Optics-Ready Stealth Series sights come installed on the slide: tritium front sight, lower 1/3 co-witness rear for any RMR-footprint optic. The Trijicon RMR® footprint optic cut is factory-machined into the slide with the cover plate pre-installed. Run the included sights with the cover plate today; when you’re ready for a Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, 508T, or equivalent, remove the plate and mount directly. No gunsmithing, no return trip.

The Faxon FX-19X Hellfire Compact (FX-19X-HF-02) is the flagship complete pistol in the FX-19 Gen 2 lineup: full-size FX-19X Gen 2 frame, 17+1 capacity, compact Hellfire slide. This Complete Slide is the exact same slide sub-assembly from that pistol — Hellfire slide, Match Series flame-fluted threaded barrel, Night Fision® sights, and RMR cut — sold as a standalone component for G19 Gen 3 and FX-19 Gen 2 frame owners who don’t need a second complete pistol.
The 1/2×28 threaded barrel accepts the Faxon EXOS-513 pistol compensator directly — remove the included thread protector and thread on. The EXOS-513 is engineered specifically for Glock® 19-pattern pistols and delivers measurable muzzle rise reduction without permanently altering the firearm. Shop EXOS® compensators separately at Faxon Firearms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this slide require an FFL transfer?
No. The Faxon Hellfire Complete Slide is a pistol component, not a serialized firearm. It ships directly to your door without an FFL dealer transfer. Note that some states regulate threaded barrel components or suppressor-ready pistol assemblies separately from complete firearms — verify your local and state laws before ordering if you are unsure about threaded barrel legality in your jurisdiction.
Does the barrel come already installed, and is it threaded?
Yes to both. The Faxon Match Series Flame-Fluted Threaded Barrel for Glock® 19 Gen 2–5 is pre-installed in the slide when it ships. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and ships with a thread protector pre-installed. Remove the thread protector to mount a 9mm suppressor or EXOS® compensator. The barrel is machined in-house at Faxon from 416-R stainless steel, QPQ nitrided inside and out, and flame-fluted for weight reduction and heat dissipation.
What’s the difference between the Hellfire and Duty Complete Slides?
Both slides are the same price ($375.00), fit the same frames (Glock® 19 Gen 3 and FX-19 Gen 2), and ship with Night Fision® Optics-Ready Stealth Series sights and an RMR footprint optic cut. The differences are in the slide profile and barrel: the Hellfire has aggressive front-and-rear serrations and a bolder exterior profile, while the Duty has refined, understated serrations. More importantly for function, the Hellfire ships with a Match Series flame-fluted barrel in 416-R stainless with 1/2×28 threading and a thread protector, while the Duty ships with a non-threaded Duty Series barrel in 4150 CMV steel. Choose the Hellfire if you want suppressor or compensator capability. Choose the Duty if you want a clean, understated carry build without threading.
Can I run a suppressor or compensator with this slide?
Yes — that’s the primary reason to choose this slide over the Duty. The Match Series barrel is threaded 1/2×28, the most common thread pitch for 9mm muzzle devices. Remove the included thread protector and mount any 1/2×28 9mm suppressor or the Faxon EXOS-513 compensator directly. No thread adapter, no barrel swap. Suppressor and compensator are not included — sold separately.
What frames does this slide fit?
This slide is designed for Glock® 19 Gen 3 frames (compact) and Faxon FX-19 Gen 2 frames (compact). It also fits Faxon FX-19X Gen 2 full-size frames — this is the factory pairing in the FX-19X Hellfire Compact pistol, which pairs this compact G19-length slide with the full-size FX-19X frame for 17+1 capacity and a full hand grip. It is not compatible with Glock® 19 Gen 4 or Gen 5 frames, Glock® 17 frames, or other frame sizes.
What optics fit the RMR optic cut?
The slide is factory-cut for the Trijicon RMR® footprint. Compatible optics include the Trijicon RMR (Type 1 and Type 2), Holosun 507C, Holosun 508T, Vortex Viper, and most other optics manufactured to the RMR footprint standard. Remove the pre-installed cover plate before mounting — no gunsmithing or additional milling required. Optic not included.
What’s the difference between the Match Series and Duty Series barrel?
Both barrel series are machined in-house at Faxon and QPQ nitrided inside and out. The Match Series steps up to 416-R stainless steel (vs. 4150 CMV in the Duty Series), adds flame fluting for weight reduction and heat dissipation, and in this configuration is threaded 1/2×28. The Duty Series delivers solid performance for standard carry and range use. The Match Series is the right choice when you want premium material, a more refined aesthetic, and the ability to run a muzzle device without a barrel swap.
Is this covered by Faxon’s Lifetime Guarantee?
Yes. The Faxon Hellfire Complete Slide is covered by the Faxon Lifetime Guarantee. If you have a warranty question or need service, contact Faxon directly through faxonfirearms.com.
