SLIDES W/ 407K CUT FOR GLOCK 43®

SLIDES W/ 407K CUT FOR GLOCK 43® Reviews & Ratings

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.

  • Fits Glock® 43 pistols & clones
  • Built-in mounting slot for reflex sights with the Holosun 407K footprint
  • Optic slot cover plate & recoil spring assembly also included
  • Factory front/rear iron sights installed
  • Machined from 416 stainless steel billet, black Nitride finish
  • Available with traditional Solid top or distinctive top Window cutout
  • Barrel is not included with 430111309 & 430111310


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!

Glock slide with optic cut-out.
Shot my 43x this weekend with the new slide and optic. Never used an optic before. The gun preformed perfectly. Thank you to Brownells for the great experience.

Great shooter.
I bought this as a back up slide for a 43x I had built but I didn’t completely trust it. This one from Brownells is completely trust worthy, as it’s become my everyday carry. Quality construction. Assembly was done correctly. This slide features a bigger port window than most of its competitors. Outstanding shooter, paired with a Trybe barrel its shoots very flat. 500 rounds in, no problems at all.

Solid value
It’s a pretty good value for what you get. The sights are junk though; rear sight is loose in dovetail and it shoots 4” low at 8 meters.

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.

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.
