Last call for permanently discontinued components; remaining Glock 26 Uppers and more at up to 70 percent off.

Zaffiri Precision, a Salvo Technologies company and a leading innovator in precision-engineered firearm components, announced an extension of its Black Friday/Holiday Blowout Sale through Dec. 15, 2025, following an overwhelming response that completely sold out its initial Glock 26 inventory. The extended event features unprecedented closeout pricing, up to 70 percent off, on product lines that are being permanently discontinued. In addition, Zaffiri Precision is offering an extra 20 percent off all non-promotional items (excluding Black Friday closeouts) sitewide using code BF2025.

The headline offer includes the last remaining Glock 26 complete upper assemblies ever to be produced by Zaffiri Precision. Formerly priced at $500, these fully built, ready-to-install uppers are now available for just $249 while supplies last. Once this inventory is sold out, Glock 26 upper production will cease permanently.

Four distinct slide cut options are available to fit a wide range of build preferences. Customers can pair the upper with the new Glock 26 frame from Glock Store, featuring the extended Glock 19-length grip, to create what many builders consider the ultimate modern concealed-carry platform.
