Hi guys,
I just bought a new G43. I have not owned a Glock before.
I noticed when the slide is back and the gun is tilted forward, the firing pin protrudes from the breech face. When I tilt the gun back, the firing pin retracts.
When I ride the slide forward, the firing pin will retract when the action is nearly closed (about 1/4" from closing).

I'm embarrassed to ask, but is this normal?  I don't want a slam fire when I load it.

As others have said, 100% normal.
