Which finish should I pick?

Shallow engraving (included in the starting price): a white surface marking.

Deep engraving: engraved deeper into the plate. Choose deep engraving if you want color infill.

Infill: fills a deep engraving with 1 or 2 colors. Without infill, the engraving shows white or grey depending on depth.

The product photos show a shallow engraving on a standard plate and deep engravings on blacked-out and standard plates.

Our Smile Glock backplate puts the dry humor of Smile & Wait For The Flash on the back of your slide. It replaces the factory slide cover plate, with sizes for the Glock 17, 19, 19X, 42, 43X, 48, Gen 6 and more.

The Smile Glock backplate design

The quote sits on the backplate at the rear of your slide. The photos show it on Black Cerakote aluminum with a shallow white marking, deep engraving with exposed metal, and deep engraving with red or white infill.
