Thanks,
I can custom make a 4.3 version of this slide for you, if you have some flexibility with your budget.

This particular 5.1 version of the SHPD slide will look awkward on the 4.3 frame, as both are block cut for different lengths. There is a potential to hang or damage the corners on the front of the slide because it is exposed.

Change up the spring guide and barrel, and then saw off the mid-frame. 4.3 mid-frame is longer than 5.1.
Bad advice.

The 4.3 receiver may be longer than the standard 5.1 receiver, but this Infinity SHPD slide is a block cut front end. The receiver it requires is actually longer than the standard short dustcover 5.1 receiver.
