The Glock 43 is designed with Glock's Safe Action system, which ensures a reliable and consistent trigger pull from the first round to the last. As the trigger is pulled, all three safety mechanisms disengage in a sequential manner and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. The frame is made from a robust polymer and features hardened steel guides for added durability. The slide stop lever and magazine catch are conveniently positioned for easy access with the shooting hand. The slide's advanced surface treatment enhances its hardness, significantly reducing wear and tear while providing excellent corrosion resistance. The barrel is cold-hammer forged and mechanically locked, sharing the same advanced surface treatment as the slide. Additionally, the extractor serves as a loaded chamber indicator, complying with regulations in certain states, and allows for both visual and tactile confirmation of a cartridge in the chamber.
