Got a friend who wants to buy a Glock 43. However he is hesitant about how it might handle his zinc bullets. Sadly he asked me, so, since I don't know I'm asking you. Zinc bullets and polygonal rifling? Problem? BTW, my vote was no problem.
 
The Glock 43 has the Gen5 marksman barrel which has a peculiar rifling made to shoot lead and jacketed bullets. So I think it is good to go with zinc bullets as well.

"enhanced barrel rifling based on the proven polygonal barrel design". As I said it has a peculiar rifling that "helps" to shoot "well" both lead and jacketed bullets.

It is "based" but it is also different from conventional polygonal rifling, with different land and grooves.

Tanfoglio in some of their race pistols use a semi-polygonal rifling which is also designed for lead and jacketed bullets.

It's a commonly known thing, written and written again in every single Glock Gen5 magazine article I've read. Did not find it on the official Glock website?
Did you find on the official Heckler & Koch website that the VP9 has a stepped chamber?
Did you find on the Grand Power website that the Q100 has a stepped chamber?
Didy you find on the official Pardini website that the GT9-1 has the polygonal rifling?
Not everything is pointed out on official websites.
