Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43X holster for small frame person

[bmicek]

I’m aware there’s another Glock 43x thread but I didn’t want to hi-jack his thread. I’ve searched through multiple threads of 43X holster recommendations as well and the list of mentioned holsters is upwards of 15 different holsters now.

So I know you kind of just gotta test them out and see what works for you, but if I can shorten the list at all, it’ll help tremendously. So, for those that are small framed men/women, what holster has worked well for you that you would recommend? I’m 5’8” about 155lbs so concealing can be difficult for me. The 43x will be the largest pistol I’ve attempted to conceal. Like I said, really interested to hear from those that are smaller framed. Thanks

Unfortunately I can't answer your question but I think you might want to provide how you plan to conceal carry OWB, AIWB, IWB.

Check out crossbreed's AIWB. Most comfortable one I've tried. 5'11" 155lbs. It will be stiff for the first week or two until it breaks in but once it shapes to your body, very comfortable.

There is a small holster company called Versacarry, that makes nice leather holsters that are actually comfortable. The leather is a vegetable tanned. Upside, they fit pretty good and self mold to your gun. Downside, it’s a generic fit. This is a Shield, but the holster is 3/4” too long. Not really a big deal, but I don’t like my stuff poking down farther than it needs to. The one for my Glock 45 fits perfectly.

With the right holster, larger can possibly be more comfortable. Pressure of a gun against you in an aiwb holster is more concentrated with a smaller gun/holster. The “Lego principle” I’ve heard mentioned by Matt Jacques of Victory First; stepping on a big lego hurts less than a smaller one.

I’ve found carrying my G19 in a G17 holster is more comfortable. There’s more leverage to keep the gun from wanting to roll over the belt when bent over/sitting since all the weight is above the belt line in the grip.

Maybe try a G48 holster... Having a stiff enough belt helps, too, although that’s a pretty light gun.

Raven vanguard, you won't find a smaller holster. I've been using one for a couple years now and they are great.

Tulster offers probably some of the best minimalist IWB Kydex holsters on the market and their Echo mag carrier is top tier as well.
