Description
The Snow Kenyan Sand Boa Baby is a compact, high-performance slide designed for Glock 43X and 48 frames. It’s for shooters who want a reliable, lightweight upgrade with a clean aesthetic. Since we started carrying it in January 2026, it has consistently been a top seller and a regular reorder item for our shop.
Stand-Out Features
- Lightweight & Durable: Machined from 416R stainless steel for strength, then precision-milled to reduce weight without sacrificing integrity.
- Enhanced Grip & Control: Aggressive front and rear slide serrations provide positive traction for manipulations, even with wet or gloved hands.
- Optic-Ready Platform: Comes pre-cut for the Shield RMSc footprint, allowing for direct mounting of popular micro red dots without an adapter plate.
- Improved Sights: Features a clean, low-profile rear sight dovetail and a standard front dovetail, compatible with a wide range of aftermarket sight options.
- Reliable Function: Engineered to maintain factory reliability with OEM or quality aftermarket internal components. This is the model we personally use in our shop demo Glock.

Your Questions Answered
Does this slide come with iron sights or an optic cover plate?
No, this is a bare slide only. It includes the slide itself with the optic cut and dovetails. You will need to source your own iron sights and, if not installing an optic, a cover plate specific to the RMSc footprint.
Will my Glock 43X/48 factory internals fit this slide?
Yes. This slide is designed to use all standard Glock 43X/48 generation 1-5 slide internals, including your factory striker, extractor, and springs. It also works with most quality aftermarket internal parts kits.
Is the finish durable?
The Cerakote Elite Series finish is highly resistant to wear, corrosion, and chemicals. It provides a consistent matte surface that holds up well to holster use and regular handling, maintaining its appearance over time.
