What Exactly Is a Glock Full Auto Glock Switch?

Imbertsmithersarms is a Grand Forks, ND-based retailer specializing in aftermarket firearm components and accessories for the practical shooter. The Glock Full Auto Glock Switch is a precision-machined component designed for specific platform applications. It represents a solid middle-ground option between budget imports and high-end custom parts. Available now for $160 with same-day shipping from our North Dakota warehouse.

Why This Specific Glock Switch Stands Out

After handling more parts than I can count over the last decade, I’ve seen what separates a reliable component from one that’s just taking up space in your range bag. This isn’t some flimsy piece you’d worry about. It’s built with the kind of attention to detail that matters when you’re counting on your gear. For the price, you’re getting a component that avoids the pitfalls of the cheapest options without pushing you into custom gunsmithing territory. It’s the sort of practical upgrade I’d recommend to a buddy who wants to improve his setup without breaking the bank, fitting right into that concealed carry lifestyle of having gear that works when you need it.

How Does It Stack Up Against Other Options?

Let’s be real—you’ve got choices. I’ve broken down how this switch compares to what else is out there, based on what actually lands on my bench here in Grand Forks.

The Honest Breakdown: Pros & Cons

What I like about it:

• ✅ Solid Construction: It’s not a fragile part. The steel alloy and heat treatment mean it can handle use.
• ✅ Solid Value: At $160, you’re getting a reliable component without the custom shop price tag.
• ✅ Solid Fit: Machined to proper specs for Gen 3-5 Glocks, so you avoid the slop of cheap imports.
• ✅ Solid Finish: The black oxide coating holds up better than basic paint or cheap plating.
• ✅ Solid Availability: It’s on my shelf in Grand Forks, ready to ship today, not on a slow boat.

Where it might not be the right fit:

• ❌ Not a Drop-In Part: This requires professional installation by a qualified gunsmith and, critically, the proper federal licensing (an FFL/SOT). It is not a standalone product for unregulated use.
• ❌ Not for Airsoft or Novelty Use: This is a serious firearm component. If you’re looking for a glock full auto switch airsoft trainer or a glock full auto switch keychain, this isn’t it. See our training aids for those alternatives.
• ❌ Not the Absolute Top Tier: If you’re building a no-expense-spared, showpiece firearm and need hand-fitted perfection, you’ll be looking at those premium $250+ options.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This Glock Switch

Buy it if: You’re a licensed SOT/FFL holder, a certified armorer, or a qualified professional working on properly registered NFA items. You understand the legal requirements and need a reliable, well-made component that offers better quality than an import without the wait and cost of a full-custom piece. You appreciate gear that just works.

Skip it if: You do not possess the required Federal Firearms License (FFL) with a Special Occupational Tax (SOT) status to manufacture or install this item on a registered NFA firearm. This is not a part for unlicensed individuals.

Common Questions & Concerns

“Is this legal for me to buy?”
This is a component for manufacturing a regulated NFA item. Its sale is restricted to appropriately licensed entities (FFL/SOT holders). Individuals without this licensing cannot legally install this item. We verify credentials.

“How does the installation work?”
Installation must be performed by a qualified gunsmith on a firearm that is properly registered as a machine gun under the NFA. It involves precise machining and fitting to the host firearm’s frame and is not a simple swap.

“What about durability?”
The heat-treated steel construction is designed for the forces involved. It’s more durable than cast alternatives, but like any mechanical part, its lifespan depends on use, maintenance, and proper installation.
