Upgrading Your Glock 43 Slides: Custom, Optic-Ready, and Complete Options

The Glock 43 remains one of the most popular concealed carry pistols due to its slim profile, reliability, and 9mm performance. However, many owners seek upgrades through aftermarket Glock 43 slides to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and optics compatibility. Whether you’re looking for a Glock 43 custom slide, Glock 43 optic ready slide, or a Glock 43 complete slide, the aftermarket offers premium choices that improve grip, reduce weight, and allow red dot mounting.

In this guide, we’ll explore top options like the True Precision Axiom Slide for Glock 43, 43X RMS-C Optic Cut, and Zaffiri Precision Complete Upper for Glock 43 9mm Luger Black Nitride Barrel. We’ll also cover related upgrades such as the Glock 43 extended slide release, extended slide stop Glock 43, and more.

Why Upgrade Your Glock 43 Slide?

The factory Glock 43 slide is reliable but basic. Aftermarket Glock 43 custom slides offer:

  • Optics Readiness: Cuts for red dots like RMSc, Holosun 507K, or RMR (Glock 43 RMR slide or Glock 43 slide cut for red dot).
  • Improved Handling: Aggressive serrations, windows, and lighter weight for faster manipulation.
  • Customization: Finishes like black nitride, TiN gold, or DLC for style and durability.
  • Complete Builds: Glock 43 complete slide assemblies with barrel and parts included.

These upgrades turn your Glock 43 into a custom Glock 43 tailored for EDC, competition, or range use. Note that while Glock 43 MOS slide options exist from Glock (Modular Optic System), aftermarket provides more variety, often at competitive Glock 43 pricing.
