BROWNELLS SLIDES W/ 407K CUT FOR GLOCK 43®

Build a Compact Custom EDC Pistol With Integral Red Dot Sight Mount

Do you want to upgrade for your factory G43 or build a brand-new custom gun on a compatible frame from another manufacturer? The Brownells Slide for Glock® 43 pistols is just the ticket for this project! Our slide features a pre-cut slot for easy, secure, low-profile mounting of a reflex red dot sight that fits the Holosun 407K footprint. If you're not mounting a red dot at the moment, we've included a lightweight polymer cover plate to neatly fill the slot. Our G43 Slide comes with standard-height front and rear sights, which can serve as your primaries or as backup "iron" sights when paired with a red dot sight.

You can get your Brownells 407K Slide for Glock® 43 with the standard solid top or with a "window" cutout up front that enhances air flow to cool the barrel - ideal for hard-working action competition pistols. If you have an upgraded barrel with a contrasting finish or a unique exterior pattern (fluting, spirals, flames, etc.) the window lets you show it off! Or install our ported barrel for Glock 43, and combustion gas venting from the barrel ports through the window will counteract muzzle rise and help you keep the sights on the target for subsequent shots. There's no need to install a bulky compensator on the muzzle, which means your new comped pistol will still fit holsters for the standard Glock® 43.

NOTE: Radian Ramjet barrels will not fit this slide


Each of our slides for Glock® starts life as a billet of 416 stainless steel that is machined to Glock® factory specifications inside, so it’ll accept factory or aftermarket barrels and internal "small" parts. Each slide comes with a tough, wear-resistant black Nitride finish. This slide fits standard Glock® factory G43 frames and compatible aftermarket frames.

On the sides at the rear, you'll find distinctive wide, shallow cocking serrations that give excellent "purchase" to rack the slide, plus a mirror set of serrations up front that aid in manipulating the slide to press-check the chamber. Both sets of serrations make it easy to manipulate your pistol's slide from any angle and in any position. And we'll admit it: these serrations just look cool, too!


Whether you're doing an ambitious "built from scratch" custom pistol or you're upgrading a factory Glock 43 for enhanced versatility, a Brownells slide is the perfect component for your project!

Inconsistent Milling between slides. Decent product.
I have one that is ported and one that is not. The one with the port is NOT an actual 407K milled MOS slide-There is NO front recoil lugs at all for optic mount, its milled completely flat. The one that is not ported has the actual 407K milled footprint with the correct short front recoil lugs. What the heck Brownells? I might be returning the one the ported one since it was also advertised as having a 407K footprint, which it does NOT!

Good but not great.
Fit and finish on the slide itself is very good. My only change would be plastic sights and a OEM Glock upper parts kit. When mounted to an oem g43x mos frame there was an audible rattle from the firing pin housing. Swapped an oem g43x upper parts kit and resolved the issue. Other than those 2 minor complaints this is an all around good buy.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

3 because
I gave this a three star review due to the fact that this particular slides rear sight notch was cut in such a way that I was able to push the rear night sight I purchased in by hand luckily the rear sight has a tension screw otherwise it would fall out, and may still fall out , I have a range day scheduled to see how it runs.

Unfortunate, but Unfair
This is only a 3 star, but it may be considered undeserved, so I'll explain. This is designed for the Glock 43/43X platform, it does NOT mention any sort of aftermarket or clone frame compatability. I got this to try out on a Palmetto State Armory Micro Dagger frame, and it works . . . . Kinda. There are some (and by some I mean it turns this into a single-shot pistol) issues with feeding rounds getting caught on the striker before being grabbed by the extractor (not cool). Some online research says the fix is to get a Glock OEM slide parts kit. Not great if you wanted to buy and go. Another is the recoil spring seems to be not interchangeable with standard 43/43x recoil springs, so no slide-to-mag timing is capable with this slide. Overall, I very much so wanted this to work as the slide itself does look good and seems to be of high quality, especially for the price.
