OWB Kydex Holster for Glock 43/43X/MOS RDS - Adjustable Ride

In this review of the OWB Kydex holster for Glock 43/43X/MOS RDS, the bottom line is simple: it is built for users who want a rugged, adjustable outside waistband carry solution that prioritizes a secure fit and fast access. The reviewer found this holster most compelling for everyday open carry where durability and customizable ride height, cant and retention matter. Backed by a lifetime warranty and made in the USA, it delivers a practical balance of comfort and function for someone who practices draws regularly and values a consistent holster platform.

Key Features

• Vehicle fit: Molded specifically for Glock 43/43X/MOS RDS to provide a snug, repeatable seat that aids reholstering and consistent draw.
• Adjustable ride and cant: The paddle can be unscrewed and repositioned to set preferred height and angle for appendix, strong side, cross carry or behind the hip placement.
• Durable construction: Thick 0.08-in Kydex retains its rigid shape over time, resisting water and rot unlike leather alternatives.
• Comfortable outside waistband design: Lightweight construction reduces pressure when worn outside the pants for extended periods.
• Maintenance friendly: Waterproof and washable materials make cleaning straightforward after outdoor use or sweat exposure.

Who It's For

This holster suits Glock 43/43X/MOS RDS owners who carry outside the waistband and want a durable, low-maintenance Kydex option with adjustable ride height and cant. It is a good match for concealed carry practitioners who also perform draws and reholsters often and need a consistent retention profile and quick access.

Those who prefer a soft leather feel, integrated magazine carry, or passive concealment inside the waistband should look elsewhere; leather users seeking a break-in surface or someone requiring multiple accessory attachments may prefer a different style.
