When I hear that something is cheaper than the competition, the first thing I want to know is what it was made of and with what methods, because the costs have to be cut somewhere. SI LITESLIDE made from a CNC machined 17-4 stainless steel block in the United States of America, California to be exact, which is surprising.
The LITESLIDE features aggressive front and rear ribbings as well as the SI Universal Optics Mount. The universal mount allows to attach countless miniature reflex sights. It even comes with a tool needed to tighten most of these accessories. It's like having a "batteries included" product.
Let's focus on the looks for a moment. There are no ports inside the slide, which is a big plus in terms of preventing dirt to get into the gun. The set also includes a cover for the optic cutout, color-matched with the slide. Most will agree that in order to buy Strike Industries products, one has to have a specific taste and a like kitsch a bit, but all this comes down to personal preferences. Where can you get them? Either have them sent from the USA through a gunsmith shop, or wait until SpecShop, the Polish distributor of the brand, will have them available.
