Glock 43 & Glock 43X Holsters

Shop Glock 43 and Glock 43X holsters at MountsPlus. This collection includes IWB, OWB, appendix, leather, optic-ready, light-bearing, and trigger guard options for concealed carry, range use, and everyday carry.

The Glock 43 and 43X are slim, reliable pistols that are easy to carry. The right holster should support that same purpose. It should hold your pistol securely, feel comfortable throughout the day, reduce printing, and give you a clean draw when you need it.

Find the Right Holster for Your Carry Style

Every carrier has a different setup. Some people want a slim inside-the-waistband option for deep concealment. Others prefer outside-the-waistband carry for range work, open carry, or easier access.

This page makes it easy to compare different styles, including IWB, OWB, appendix, ankle, leather, Kydex, hybrid, optic-ready, light-bearing, trigger guard, and magazine holster options.

Choosing the right model starts with your pistol, your carry position, and any accessories you have mounted.

IWB Holsters for Concealed Carry

Inside-the-waistband holsters are one of the most popular choices for slimline Glock pistols. They keep the gun close to the body and help reduce printing under a shirt or cover garment.

Look for features like adjustable retention, ride-height control, cant adjustment, sweat guard coverage, and a clip or loop style that works with your belt. Small details like these can make a big difference in daily comfort.

OWB Holsters for Range and Everyday Use

OWB holsters are a good choice when comfort, access, and stability matter more than deep concealment. They are often used for range work, training, open carry, or under a jacket.

A good OWB setup should keep the pistol secure while still allowing a smooth draw. Leather, Kydex, and hybrid options are available depending on the feel and structure you prefer.

Appendix Carry Options

Appendix carry is popular with many Glock 43 and 43X owners because these pistols are thin and easy to position at the front of the waistband.

For appendix carry, look for a holster that supports comfortable ride height, easy draw access, and minimal printing. Some designs may also include a claw or wing to help bring the grip closer to the body.

MOS, Optic-Ready, and Light-Bearing Holsters

If your pistol has an optic cut or red dot sight, choose a holster made with optic clearance. A standard model may not leave enough room for the sight.

If you carry with a weapon light, such as a Streamlight TLR-6 or TLR-7 Sub, choose a holster molded for that exact pistol and light combination. Light-bearing models are shaped differently than standard holsters, so fitment needs to be exact.

Leather, Kydex, and Hybrid Styles

Leather holsters are popular for their classic feel and comfort. Kydex holsters offer a rigid shell, defined retention, and consistent draw. Hybrid holsters combine a structured shell with a softer backing for comfort against the body.

The best material depends on your carry style, clothing, climate, and how much structure you want from the holster.

Glock 43 vs Glock 43X Fitment

The Glock 43 and Glock 43X are similar, but holster fit is not always interchangeable. Slide length, frame shape, rail configuration, MOS models, and mounted accessories can all affect compatibility.

Before ordering, confirm whether the product is listed for your exact setup:

• Glock 43
• Glock 43X
• Glock 43X MOS
• Glock 43X railed
• Glock 43X non-railed
• Glock 43 with TLR-6
• Glock 43X with TLR-6
• Glock 43X with TLR-7 Sub

A correct fit gives you better retention, comfort, and draw consistency.

How to Choose the Best Setup

Choose an IWB holster if concealment is your main goal.

Choose an appendix holster if you want fast access from the front of the waistband.

Choose an OWB holster if comfort and easy draw access matter most.

Choose a light-bearing holster if your pistol has a mounted weapon light.

Choose an optic-ready holster if your pistol has a red dot sight.

Choose a leather holster if you prefer a traditional feel.

Choose a Kydex or hybrid holster if you want structure, retention, and repeatable draw performance.

Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering

Before buying, check your exact pistol model, hand orientation, carry position, optic setup, rail style, and any mounted accessories.

A holster for one slimline Glock setup may not fit another. A MOS model may require a different cut than a non-MOS version. A pistol with a mounted light needs a light-compatible holster.

If your pistol has aftermarket parts, custom slides, threaded barrels, compensators, lights, lasers, or optics, confirm compatibility before purchase.
