The Model 4043 is a DAO, hammer-fired Third-Generation S&W built for consistent trigger pulls with a smooth trigger face and a bobbed, spurless hammer. There is no manual safety or decocker, and the decocker/safety openings are factory-plugged consistent with this configuration.
Construction pairs a stainless slide with a 4-inch stainless barrel and a hard-anodized aluminum-alloy frame. An external extractor supports reliable case control, and the full-size frame follows the double-stack magazine pattern with a stated 10+1 capacity. There is no accessory rail on this model.
Sights are low-mount and dovetailed: a TRU DOT green-dot front blade for quick reference and a plain black notch rear for a clean sight picture. This setup is straightforward and duty-oriented.
Ergonomics include a one-piece wraparound black synthetic grip with molded checkering and frontstrap texturing for secure purchase. The slide is marked CRPD, underscoring its agency/contract provenance, and carries factory legends including SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MA U.S.A. and model markings.
