Rival Arms RA42G002A Slide Completion Kit 9mm for Glock 43/43X/48

Description

Building or rebuilding a slide for your Glock 43, 43X, or 48 means hunting down a handful of small internal parts, and that gets old fast. This Rival Arms kit takes the guesswork out by bundling all the essential guts into one package, so you can go from a stripped slide to a working one without ordering pieces one at a time from three different places.

What Goes Into the Rival Arms 43/43X/48 Slide Kit

Inside you'll find the RA precision striker, striker spring and spring cups, the striker safety and its spring, a spacer sleeve, the extractor with its depressor plunger and plunger spring, the spring loaded bearing, and a back cover plate. Rival Arms runs a PVD coating on select parts and machines others from solid stainless steel billet, which is the kind of attention that keeps things running clean and consistent shot after shot. Worth noting for anyone new to these guns: single stack 43/43X/48 slides don't use a channel liner, so you won't find or need one here.

Getting the Rival Arms Completion Kit Installed

This is a no-gunsmith-required job for anyone comfortable taking a Glock striker assembly apart. A punch, a bit of patience, and a good look at how the OEM parts came out will get you there. Take your time seating the extractor and depressor plunger correctly, and do a proper function check before you head to the range, same as you would with any slide work.

Once the internals are set, all that's left is a barrel, a guide rod assembly, your sights, and a completed lower. Then you've got a finished pistol ready to run. It's a straightforward way to breathe life into an aftermarket or stripped slide, and it pairs well with a custom build where you want quality internals instead of scavenging factory pieces.
