Description
The GLOCK SWITCH – 10Pcs is a bulk pack of aftermarket selector components, plain and simple. It’s for the builder or serious hobbyist who knows exactly what they’re getting into and values having spares on the bench. This isn’t a casual purchase; it’s a parts bin investment.
Key Features
- 10-Piece Quantity: You get a full set of components to convert a semi-automatic pistol frame, plus extras. In my shop, having backup springs or pins during a build can save a lot of frustration.
- Machined Components: These are typically CNC-milled from steel or aluminum, not cheap castings. I’ve seen firsthand how proper machining tolerances affect function and reliability.
- No-Frills Packaging: These usually come in simple bags or blister packs. The money is in the parts, not the marketing—a detail I appreciate after decades of testing aftermarket components.

Honest Assessment
Pros: The primary advantage is cost per unit when buying in bulk. For someone building multiple firearms or maintaining several, this pack offers significant savings over buying individual parts. It also ensures consistency across builds.
Cons: The legality of possessing or installing these components is heavily restricted under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Ownership requires extensive federal registration, a tax stamp, and approval—it is illegal for civilians to install on a post-1986 host firearm without proper licensing. Furthermore, this is a major investment for a highly specialized part with very limited legal application.
Who Should Buy This
This pack has an extremely narrow audience. The only legitimate buyers are Class 2 or Class 3 Special Occupational Taxpayers (SOTs)—licensed manufacturers or dealers building registered, transferable machine guns for law enforcement or military contracts. For the average citizen, this product is not legally obtainable or usable.
FAQ
Is this legal for me to buy and install?
No, it is not legal for private citizens to install this on a firearm. These are regulated under the NFA as machine gun parts. Legal possession is restricted to federally licensed entities (FFL/SOTs) with specific authorization.
What exactly comes in the 10 pieces?
A typical pack includes the selector switch itself, necessary mounting hardware, springs, and pins—essentially all the small components needed for the conversion. I’ve run thousands of rounds through various host platforms and having every small part included prevents build delays.
Why is this listed under “Handguns”?
It’s categorized here because it’s a component designed for a pistol platform (GLOCK). However, it’s crucial to understand it’s a restricted part, not a complete firearm. Rock Island Armory lists it for sale strictly to qualified, licensed trade customers.
