I'm looking for an IWB for a new Glock 43. Would like either a Kydex or a simple leather. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have a Desantis Invader for my Glock 43. So far I like it. I looked at the Alien 3.0 as a friend has one for his Glock 43 and loves it but I got a good deal on the Desantis so I figured I'd give it a go.

I've been using a Haley Strategic Incog (G Code Tactical) kydex holster to carry a 43 for about 8 weeks now. So far I am very pleased with it. So pleased I've already ordered another for a Glock 19 and likely will try one for a 1911. They are very adjustable and comfortably carry deep IWB.

I am very old school and it was a difficult pill to swallow, but the single best way to carry a 43 is AIWB. I have two AIWB holster positions I personally favor, one for when my shirt is out and over, second when my shirt is tucked and I'm wearing a jacket, such as going to church. INCOG, they have two versions w/out a weapon light, that I like a lot. Some may like one version over the other, center clip vs two clip, but I like both, though I run the two clip version w/ only one clip on the outside. A good cheap holster that works very well is the Blackhawk ARC AIWB, which carries the 43 like it is not there, yet when adjusted correctly, is as fast as anything going. Outside of these, at times I like to use a DeSantis pocket holster.

I did a review of the TT Gunleather IWB Reinforced Mikes Special for a Glock 43 here about a week ago, if you are interested.

Well I boiled it down to two. The Canted from Kusiak and the Alessi Talon Plus. I'm going with the Kusiak.

I'm devoted to my El Paso Saddlery C-Force IWB holsters for my Glocks since trying them at Kevin Gibson's suggestion. Before that, I was a devotee of the Milt Sparks VM-II. I much prefer the C-Force. Simple, inexpensive, comfortable, and conceals well.

Was wondering why you like to use only one of the 2 clips? Comfort? Did you remove the second clip? Is the 2 clip INCOG more comfortable than the 1 clip Eclipse version? Thanks.
