Rival Arms V1 PVD Barrel | 9mm | 3.41 in | Glock 43/43X | RARA20G301D

The Rival Arms V1 barrel (RARA20G301D) is a match-grade stainless steel drop-in replacement designed for Glock Model 43 and 43X pistols. It pairs a CNC-machined 416R stainless blank with a low-temperature vacuum PVD external finish and a Borslick Boron Nitride DCD inner bore treatment to resist fouling and wear. The barrel uses a 1:10 twist with six-groove rifling and a target crown, offering a balance of accuracy and durability for carry pistols and precision-oriented use.

Applications for this barrel include everyday carry (EDC) upgrades where tighter groups and easier maintenance are desired, and precision or small-bore competition where consistent barrel performance matters.
