With the introduction of Glock’s new 43X pistol, a lot of shooters will be looking for new holsters. However, because this pistol is so new, there are not a lot from which to choose. Still, a few companies have jumped out with versions to fill this need for Glock 43X holsters. Also, a few companies are claiming that the 43X will fit in 43 holsters. However, we can’t confirm this as of yet. More holsters will hit the market as the gun becomes more available, but here are a few to consider that are ready now.
Glock 43X Holster Options — DeSantis
DeSantis has been designing and manufacturing quality holsters for almost five decades. In fact, the company only uses American-premium hides and the toughest synthetics for its holsters and accessories. Regarding Glock 43X holsters, the company has already introduced 27 different versions for shooter’s needs. Here are a handful of our favorites, but again, 27 variations means there are A LOT more from DeSantis.

This is accomplished with precise molding and a tension screw device. Belt slots are 1 3/4 inches wide. Available in premium Black or Tan saddle leather. MSRP is $78.99.
Mini Slide

Glock 43X Holster Options — CrossBreed
CrossBreed got its start claiming to build the “ugliest holsters you’ll ever love.” However, the company has come a long way since then, creating a wide variety of holsters, belts and accessories.

In fact, CrossBreed has brought out nine holsters — both IWB and OWB options — for shooters to consider. What’s more, all holsters come with Crossbreed’s lifetime warranty and “two-week try it free guarantee.”
