Ankle Holsters
A Glock 43X ankle holster hides the pistol around your lower leg, ideal for backup or seated carry. Worn on the weak-side ankle, it allows discreet access. Padded backing and snug straps ensure all-day comfort and stability.
Pocket Holsters
A Glock 43X pocket holster offers fast concealment in front or cargo pockets. It holds the gun upright and covers the trigger guard. Non-slip textures and slim builds prevent printing and help ensure a safe, smooth draw.

Duty Holsters
When you need extra retention and professional features, choose a duty holster built specifically for the Glock 43X. These holsters include adjustable retention, reinforced mouth for one-handed reholstering and options for Level-2 style retention — ideal for security or uniformed use.
Leg (Thigh) Holsters

Holsters with Light
A Glock 43X holster with light fits both the pistol and its light attachment securely. It supports safe carry and fast draws in low-light settings. Opt for custom-molded designs with strong clips and belt support for balanced daily use.
If you run a light on your pistol, our Glock 43X light-bearing holsters are built for precise fits with popular models like the Glock 43X TLR-7 Sub holster, Glock 43X TLR-6 holster, and Glock 43X with Olight Baldr Mini holster. Each option is custom-molded to your exact setup, ensuring full trigger protection, dependable retention, and a smooth draw even with the added light profile.
Holsters with Red Dot
Our holster for Glock 43X with red dot is precision-cut to clear common micro-dots while keeping the optic protected and the trigger completely covered. Available in both leather and Kydex, these optics-ready holsters preserve sight picture and allow a smooth, reliable draw — ideal for carry users who want the speed of a red dot without sacrificing retention or safety. (Common fits include Holosun and RMR-style footprints — always verify your exact optic in the product selector.)
Holsters with Light and Red Dot
For shooters who run both a weapon light and a micro-optic, the holster for Glock 43X with light and red dot is custom-molded to the combined profile so the light and dot sit protected without adding bulk to your draw. These hybrids feature reinforced mouths for easy one-hand reholstering, full trigger-guard coverage, and tuned retention to compensate for the extra weight and shape of light+optic setups (examples: TLR-7 Sub or TLR-6 paired with a Holosun/RMR footprint).
