Norsso Slides
If you're reading this, you're probably interested in Norsso slides. Good call.
They make Glock slides, SIG slides, CZ slides, and more than a few custom jobs. Most, but not all, are for 9mm pistols. Some of the most popular include the Norsso Reptile slide for Glock 19, its P320 subcompact slide cousin for Sig, and the Vector P320C slide. That's hardly everything they do, however. In fact, it's just a tiny part of what they offer.

Norsso History
Norsso LLC was founded by two UNLV graduates who met while studying mechanical engineering. After graduation, they began designing automation systems for the entertainment industry. They also CNC machined a whole slew of different things (like AR15 flag holders) while developing the business.
Motorcycle parts, cart parts, unusual furniture parts...they manufactured all kinds of things. Then came their Glock slides...

Glock 19 Gen 3 pistol from Norsso's early days. This was before it had a Norsso slide, of course. Probably before anyone did. Circa March 2016. That's one of their AR15 flag holders in the background.
...
Initially, one of them transitioned to working on building the nascent company full-time while the other contributed "part" time work (part-time being a relative term, as any small business owner can tell you). Eventually, they were both in an expanded shop with additional CNC machines.
Now they manufacture some of the handsomest, most resilient aftermarket handgun slides on the planet.
