Start by considering your daily carry needs. The Glock 42 is compact and chambered in .380 ACP, making it ideal for deep concealment. Choose a holster for Glock 42 that matches your preferred carry position and clothing style. Prioritize secure retention, comfortable materials, and ease of access. A Glock 42 leather holster offers classic comfort, while polymer or hybrid designs ensure durability for active use. Select models with adjustable cant and ride height to fine-tune your draw and concealment.

The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Glock 42 OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw.

Carry Options for Glock 42 holsters
Concealed Carry
The Glock 42 excels in discreet carry thanks to its slim profile. A well-designed Glock 42 concealed carry holster setup ensures comfort and minimal printing under everyday attire. Consider holsters that mold closely to your body and allow for natural, quick access.
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband holsters provide deep concealment while maintaining quick draw access. A Glock 42 IWB holster tucks neatly against your torso and suits both appendix and hip positions. Opt for sweat guards and soft backers for added comfort.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband holsters offer a balance between concealability and ease of access. A Glock 42 OWB holster with a tight, contoured design works well under a jacket or longer shirt. Choose paddle or belt-loop models depending on your stability preference.
Shoulder Holsters
A Glock 42 shoulder holster supports vertical or horizontal draw and is ideal for jacket wear. This carry style balances the weight across both shoulders, reducing fatigue during extended wear. Look for adjustable harnesses for a personalized fit.
Pocket Holsters
The Glock 42 pocket holster offers an ultra-discreet way to carry in loose-fitting pants or jackets. Designed to break up the outline of the firearm, a pocket holster for Glock 42 helps prevent printing while keeping the trigger protected. Choose models with anti-slip exteriors for consistent draw positioning.
Appendix Holsters
Appendix carry offers fast access and strong concealment. A good Glock 42 appendix holster should feature a low profile, high retention, and claw attachments to tuck the grip inward. Look for breathable materials and minimal bulk for all-day comfort.
Ankle Holsters
An ankle holster provides a secondary or backup carry option, especially for seated or low-profile scenarios. A Glock 42 ankle holster must offer snug retention and padded support to stay secure during movement. Ideal for deep concealment under wide-leg pants.
Lady Holsters
Female carriers often need holsters suited to different wardrobe choices and body shapes. A Glock 42 holster for ladies may include narrower clips, flexible backing, and softer materials for comfort. Options like belly bands or leggings with built-in holsters can accommodate active lifestyles.

All of the Craft holsters that I own for my Glocks are top notch! Quality, style and most of all their all day comfort. Although as in this attached photo I would like to see a closer trim of the leather on the Glock 42 comfort model at the end of the barrel.
