It’s easy enough to rack for myself as a full-size male that handles firearms quite regularly. The slide on the Glock 43 is much thinner and does not have forward cocking serrations. Is it usable? Yes, but there is no comparison when it comes to texture on the GX4 vs Glock 43. This Gen 4 texture is much slicker than the texturing on the Taurus GX4. The Glock 43, on the other hand, has small little squares and has a Gen4 texture to them. It’s just a very effective texturing on a gun this size.
