What’s a 43x MOS slide worth

I’m new to Glock. Eventually, I want to pick up a 48, but I found a guy unloading his 43x MOS factor slide.

What is a fair price range for an like new slide?

Complete OEM slides with barrels AND recoil springs run around $400 on the ‘Bay. Stripped slides (no barrels, recoil springs, strikers, etc.) are around $300 maybe a little less. These are new “takeoffs”.

I picked up a 43X non MOS OEM complete slide for around $400 over a year ago. Seems like they have comedown a little since then.

It is what it is…

I am very happy with mine. Runs perfect-zero issues in a few thousand rounds.

if you go the ‘Bay route, just read the feedback. As safe as any other vendor imo.

$300-$350

I have a Holosun 507k and ameriglo Hackathorn style nite sites on my 48 MOS and use the complete 43X/PSA slide for the same reason. Having the ability for the optic on the micro slide is a bonus should I ever decide put one on it. The modularity works great.
That’s my thought exactly.

Quick Google search looks like a couple places show OEM frames for $150-$200 as well.

This what I ordered: https://palmettostatearmory.com/ble...mplete-9mm-slide-assembly-optics-ready-shield-cut-non-threaded-barrel-gray.html

They sell a LOT of Dagger compact and full size frames for 50.00 and up. There is only one micro frame they offer at this point and would imagine it would be the same price though currently is not in stock.

You could always do th email in stock option which is what I did and do for their mags.

We all have different realities…

Mine-

43X MOS: $485
Tax: $33.95
Permit: $50
NICS: $65
Ttl: $633.95

So while $400 is high, it’s not “the cost of a new gun” for me.
Glad to see the PSA Dagger Micro slides mentioned.

That is what I am considering at the moment. The partial slide with 407K mounted is looking interesting.

The modularity of one frame and swapping slides adds options for less than a second pistol purchase for me.

As always-YMMV!
