JRC Glock Frame Weight
Installation Instructions

Follow these 7 steps to install your JRC Glock Frame Weight System. Compatible with most Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glock frames. Read all steps before beginning.

Always verify the firearm is unloaded before beginning installation. Remove the magazine and visually and physically inspect the chamber.

  1. 1

    Unload and field strip

    • Remove the magazine and cycle the slide. Check the chamber to verify the firearm is unloaded.
    • Referring to the manual, remove the slide as if field stripping.
  2. 2

    Remove screws from the frame weight

    • Remove the screws from the frame weight.
    • Units are shipped assembled in their final configuration after test fitting on a Gen 3 Glock host frame.
  3. 3

    Install the bottom unit

    • Place the bottom unit into the rail slot on the frame.
  4. 4

    Attach the left-side piece

    • Place the left-side piece on the frame, carefully aligning the rail section with the frame rail.
    • Install the screws snugly. Note: Glock frames may require a little pressure on the very front to properly align.
  5. 5

    Attach the right-side piece

    • Place the right-side piece onto the frame, again carefully aligning the slot to the rail section on the weight.
    • Note that a little pressure may be needed on some frames.
    • Carefully replace the remaining screws in the frame weight.
  6. 6

    Reinstall the slide and check clearance

    • Reinstall the slide and check for any interference.
    • At this point, slight alignment can be made to ensure there is even clearance along the slide.
  7. 7

    Final tighten

    • Firmly tighten all screws.
    • Take care not to slip with your Allen wrench, as scratched finishes during installation are not considered manufacturing defects.

Thank you for your purchase and enjoy your new frame weight!
