She says SLIDE not SIDE - she talking about 1911 pistols with engraving?

Slide Cover Plate. To put it into modern language used today, it is the thingie on the back of the slide that holds the firing pin thingie in.

Come on guys! You frequent one of the foremost firearms boards, and you don't know what a slide plate cover is??!!
Oh, and thanks for that link, Harry. I had no clue what a slide plate cover was.
To answer your question, hanndot, I think they would be distracting and a bit on the silly side in my opinion. For this particular birthday present, you might want to break with tradition and ask in advance if he would want one or more.

SLIDE cover plate. Ain't no slide on an AR.
OK, now that I know that they are for a Glock, I'd say get him one that reflects his personality/interests, if available.
Something with his initals might be good.
Avoid skulls and anything that might be interpreted as promoting violence, because, if the gun ever becomes evidence (and in a defensive shooting situation, it will become evidence) the other side will try and use the embellishment to "prove" he was actively desiring to shoot someone. A wanna be vigilante, or something along those lines.
They will be looking for anything and everything to try and cloud the issue, and things that say "die scumbag" to a jury should be avoided.

Well, she could have come back and read all the replies without signing in...or am I being naive and you actually know she hasn't been back?
Hmmm...maybe all our replies answered her question or maybe she gave up hope after reading our replies (I had certainly never heard of slide plate cover), still I agree it kiind of would have been polite to put in a 'thanks' or even a 'thanks anyway'.
