Hittman??Glock holster recommended?

[WanderLust]

To anyone, I have a Glock 43x with a TLR-6 at the front. I seem to recall Hittman having this gun, and I’m sure others here may as well.
I vastly prefer a OWB holster and I’m partial to leather (but not set on it). Any advice on brands? A lot of makers don’t like to fit the extra lights into a holster, so that limits my choices. I’ve had kydex, which IS functional but NOT sexy! Like the leather hybrids that are out there now, just saying. Not necessarily for concealed carry, but I am wondering if an open-top pancake would really NEED a top strap? I’ve carried heavier guns with nothing to hold them down, so I’d hesitate to add a strap. As usual, I need OPINIONS, and this site seems to offer more than the norm on opinions. So please, please tell me what to do!
(I really do appreciate the input, guys. )

A couple different options I use. No optics for me please.
Regardless, I would always inquire with Simply Rugged to see if they can help.

I always default on gun leather questions to Diamond D. I don't know if they will make one for a gun w/light. You can email them or call about that.

GunnyG, I really appreciate that suggestion.
I had looked at their website and didn't see anything that would match. I do love their stufff though.
I know that nearly any mfgr. would build most anything that's requested, but the cost and the wait jump up in relation to that. I'm hoping for someone already building along these specs, as I also would like to read real-life reviews before buying. My gut says these holsters would be geared towards law enforcement so I assume there would be more out there.

Given the huge variety of guns and accessories (lights, lasers, red dots, etc. ) for them it is really hard to find a holster that isn't plastic. Life was simpler when there was only a handful of semi-auto models and only iron sights on the market. How anyone can shoot expert with a bone stock 1911 is a mystery. Must require some kind of telekinetic ability to guide that bullet.

Hittman,
I agree with you on the Simply Rugged recommendation. Again, I'm hoping to find something already being used by the masses to see how well it's
perfoming in the field, but also to hear the 'strap vs no strap' opinions from present users.

Simply Rugged vote here as well, carry almost all my handguns in his holsters

You are going to have a hard time finding a leather holster for a gun with a light. Generally the kydex holster is formed so that it secures around the light and the holster is useless without the light attached.

I’m seeing that issue in my searches. I may be sending Simply Rugged a request soon. Thanks for all who contributed!

I have one if these, it works great.

Mr. Blade007 (), would you call that Desantis a low, medium or high ride holster?
I like the looks of it a lot! Their website makes it seem like a fairly high ride but I didn’t see a description with that much detail. I’d kinda like a high rise layer between me and the gun, but didn’t see that as an option. Might be worth a call to them?
Thanks for the idea!

I have the g43 and the g43x. It's more of a medium ride to me. I carried the 43 in it for quite a while and it worked great. The g43 is not as top heavy as the g43x with the longer grip and more rounds and it just worked better for the g43 for me. A plus is that I just saw it on Amazon for $51.95.

I bought my first Glock, a Glock 43x a few years back, and I got on the list for a VM-2 from Milt Sparks.

I can not confirm or deny that I paid almost as much for the holster with the upgrades or potential shark skin that may or may not be on the holster, but it's nice.

That said I have several desantis for my SP101 and LCR

“I cannot confirm or deny……”
Mr. LCP22LR is either a lawyer, or recently spent some time with one!!
Does the Versamax have a ‘clean’ release when you pull the gun upward or does the holster want to come up a bit as well? My Kydex holster wants to hang on at this point.

 

[LCP22LR]

It one of the best holsters Ive ever had. Clean pull for sure

I used a Galco IWB for my Glock 26 for a couple of years before I grew tired of the Glock and traded it off. I probably still have the holster sitting in a drawer …

 

[WanderLust]

Never have been able to wear an IWB in comfort. Think I’m built wrong
