The Glock 43, 43X, and 48 are the slimline single-stack pistols that put Glock back on the concealed-carry map. FTA builds custom IWB Kydex holsters for all three — including optics-cut versions for the 43X MOS and 48 MOS with RMSc footprints. The slim slide profile makes these pistols ideal for IWB carry, and our tuckable design keeps them hidden under a cover garment without printing. Hand-formed in Florida, made to your exact pistol, has a current production time of approximately 15 business days before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Glock 43 holster the same as the 43X?
No — the 43X has a longer slide and a different grip. We mold specifically for each. The 43 holster will not lock up a 43X.
Do you support the 43X MOS with an optic?
Yes. Select the optic-cut option at checkout and tell us which dot you’re running (RMSc, 507K, Shield SMSc, etc.). We mold around the optic so retention is on the slide, not the optic body.
Will the holster fit a Gen 5 G43?
Yes — the Gen 5 G43 is dimensionally identical to the Gen 4 for holster-fit purposes. One holster fits both.
Is the G48 the same as the G19 length?
Close but not identical. The G48 has a longer grip but a 4.17″ barrel. We make a specific G48 mold — it’s not interchangeable with the G19 holster.
What’s the best Glock 43 holster for deep concealment?
The Max Concealment sits the slide deeper, with only the sights exposed. Pair it with the claw for additional appendix concealment.
