The Model 4043 operates in double-action-only, pairing a smooth-faced trigger with a bobbed, spurless external hammer. It has no manual safety or decocker; factory filler plugs are present. Controls include a left-side magazine release and a left-side slide stop.
The stainless slide carries rear serrations only, while the anodized aluminum-alloy frame reduces weight and features a checkered front strap. A one-piece black Xenoy wraparound grip with an arched backstrap provides a consistent hold.
Sighting is straightforward and durable with a fixed 3-dot setup: a ramped front sight with a white dot and a low-profile rear sight with two white dots. The 4-inch barrel is chambered for .40 S&W.
Markings include "Mod 4043" on the frame and ".40 S&W" on the barrel hood. The double-column detachable magazine system supports an 11+1 capacity. Made in the USA.
