This Glock 43 optic ready slide upgrade improves sight picture, reduces target acquisition time, and maintains a low profile. Whether you’re after a Glock 43 MOS slide from the factory or aftermarket alternatives like the Agency Arms Hybrid Slide for Glock 43, 43x RMS-C Optic Cut Black DLC, these modifications elevate your custom Glock 43 to professional levels.
In this guide, we’ll explore top Glock 43 custom slides with red dot cuts, including the Zaffiri Precision Complete Upper for Glock 43 9mm Luger Black Nitride Barrel.

Why Invest in a Glock 43 Slide Cut for Red Dot?
Stock Glock 43 slides are reliable but often require adapters for optics, which can add height and complexity. A dedicated Glock 43 slide cut for red dot—like an RMSc footprint—allows a flush mount, better co-witness with irons, and improved balance. Benefits include:
- Faster Aiming: Red dots excel in dynamic situations, with cuts supporting low-bore axis designs.
- Customization: Add lightening windows, serrations, and finishes for better grip and reduced weight.
- Versatility: Compatible with Glock 43 slide 3D model enthusiasts for prototyping or full Glock 43 complete slide swaps.
- Durability: Coatings like Black DLC or nitride protect against wear.
For those building a custom Glock 43, these slides pair well with the Glock 43 RMR slide variants or MOS equivalents, making your pistol competition-ready.
