Best Glock 43 Holster 2023

Both men and women prefer a Glock 43 for everyday self-defense. This subcompact pistol is easy and comfortable to conceal on the body due to its small size (shorter than the hand length), low weight, and slimness (only 1.02 in width).

A correctly chosen holster will help feel all these benefits and minimize the time for getting used to a Glock 43.

Why do we need a Glock 43 holster?

The Glock 43 is a 9mm single stuck, superb gun for carrying that may be snappier than the fuller sized pistols. The Glock 43 is a reliable CCW pistol with great ergonomics, and can be concealed and carried even in the pocket, but only with a holster because of the light trigger of a Glock. The Glock 43 is the best gun, suitable for deep hiding; it is unnoticeable in a good holster.

My love of guns is in my blood, since childhood I have spent hours enjoying the beauty of guns and adored going through their parts.

Tactical accessories are another passion of mine that I could write about endlessly - my house and garage are full of tactical gadgets, luckily my family shares my interests.

I'm infatuated with traveling that's why work at one place with a daily routine and standard schedule is not for me. I prefer copywriting and English tutoring as a freelancer. I live in a male family among constant talks about cars, guns, hunting, fishing, and, of course, dinosaurs 😊.

My husband is an obsessed hunter, and my two sons are fans of «Demolition Ranch» of YouTube blogger Matt Carriker. They are my best consultants about weapon and all-around ammunition topics. All together we share a love for adventures. Every camping or mounting hiking trip is a "small survival", giving irreplaceable experiences. Nothing can be better than the satisfaction of observing wild nature.
