I have mostly Remora sticky holsters for my G43, and later also my Sig 365, and find them very convenient, and comfortable for all day use. But in my old age I have questioned whether sticky holsters might be less protective than kydex with positive retention. A search on this forum led to old threads which are making me lean towards getting a Zorn Skinny Rig https://zornholsters.com/product/skinny-rig/ or the widely recommended Vedder Light Tuck. Does anyone have experience with either of these two, or have other recommendations for a kydex IWB for the G43? I carry at 3-4 o'clock, not appendix. The Skinny Rig seems like it might be a thinner profile because the clip is offset from the frame, while the Light Tuck has the clip over the frame of the gun. Any comments on these two or others? Thanks in advance. | ||

You can’t beat Vedder holsters on their price/shipping. Labor Day sale 10% off. Typically, Vedder makes/ships within a week. Light Tuck with claw - you won’t be disappointed. | |||

Boraii offers a better trigger guard and retention than the Remora. My preference for pocket carry is Boraii, not pricy @$17. | |||

Thank you. The Boraii look like a very nice option for pocket carry, but also possibly a nice bedside option -- almost a trigger guard holster that doesn't need a lanyard. But what about a IWB kydex that doesn't need a clip (like a sticky holster doesn't) or has a clip that doesn't add width? | |||

Kydex gives you retention, a covered trigger and the ability to reholster. I’m leary of a fabric type holster to “cover” the trigger while carrying IWB. My 2 cents. To draw from IWB- need that clip. | |||

I cannot recommend PJ Holster too highly. I bought a Kydex IWB holster for my Walther PPS M2 from him in 2016. That combo has been my favorite IWB carry ever since. Just this year the built-in clip gave up the ghost. I emailed Paul, asking him about making me a new one. No need. He covered it under warranty. I had him build the same holster/mag pair for my Springfield EMP. Beautiful  For my Ruger LCP he built me a little IWB holster for use with very light gym shorts that has a very solid retention clip. It, likewise, works and wears flawlessly. He's quick, too. I think in all cases it was ±two weeks from order to delivery. And his prices are quite reasonable. "America is at that awkward stage.

A good holster should:
I don't agree w/ everything the ASP guy says in the vid below. He is especially critical of hybrid holsters. I've seen good & bad hybrids. I do agree w/ his main points. https://youtu.be/Ox7GrdjqRXk The Remora satisfies the first two points above but not the shake test. Sticky-type holsters like the Remora have their place depending on circumstances & situation but IMHO shouldn't be relied on for IWB EDC. | |||

I agree with this. I have one for my G43, G19, HK P2000 and Sig P365 with RMR cut. You’ll love it. | |||

Yep. That's where I'm coming from. There's no good reason for it -- I have a million Remoras, and have carried my Glocks almost only in them, and they serve as resting place for other drawer and safe guns. I find them comfortable, inexpensive, adjustable, easy to use. And I have never had a hint of problems. And I have never read on the Intoonut about any problems with AD's with them... But that soft material just has always made me a little uncomfortable. I really appreciate all of the replies. If there is a clip in my future (ugh!), is a clip that is offset from the frame something that is beneficial and works for you (like the Zorn Skinny Rig above)? | |||

Thank you for the comments on Vedder and PJ. | |||

An offset clip helps to keep the pistol grip positioned in close to your body to reduce printing. A claw works much better. At the Zorn website you linked, the first photo shows a model w/ offset clip & claw. | |||

The cake is a lie! |
I have several Zorn Skinny rigs and a couple wraiths for other Glocks- 26,19 (dont have a 43), but the quality is excellent. I don't know if he still does this, but if you contact him directly, you can custom spec the holster if you need some slight changes. I like a little deeper carry height and a very slight negative cant, and gave him a couple pictures to go off of, and he built it. My two other favorite holsters are Tenicor and G-code Incog. Both have G43 options | |||

You're welcome. Here are some photos of the combination I took a while ago:    That last is with his horizontal OWB mag carrier. You can't see it in any of the photos, but both holster and mag carrier are with open belt loop clips, which make for very easy on/off. "America is at that awkward stage.

I can speak to the Zorn, but I regularly carry my G43 in a G-Code Incog and it’s the best IWB I’ve owned to date. | |||
