Let's get this up an running.

It seems that only RCS has a pre-order for the holsters available.

As new options come online can everyone post in here as they see em?

maybe we could get this thread to not go into archives as well.

Why wouldn't a 43 holster work with either of them?  As long as the muzzle end isn't closed, most of them should work I would think.  Glock's website lists the 43x and 48 as 1mm wider in overall width and the slide width as being identical to the 43.  Is 1mm of frame/grip width really enough to make them not fit?  Or is there a dimension change that I'm missing that will make them not fit?

According to RCS the 43X will fit 43 holsters.  I'd say it's then safe to assume that a 48 would fit an open ended 43 holster as well.

have no idea - I just have one OWB from years ago.

Most of my IWB stuff is JM or PJ kydex.

Raven really changed direction to one I don't care for. Others do and that's fine, I hope the best for them. I tried their Eidolon holster and didn't care for it at all. They are putting a lot of effort into their Perun line but I have very little use for an OWB holster, especially for a G43 sized pistol. I don't get it.

It's really a shame they dropped their Phantom line, they were the best at that in their prime. They are a good company and I hope them well but I have switched to other holster providers.

For Kydex JM Custom is my go to guy, highest quality there is.

JM Custom Kydex makes a “long” AIWB holster for the 43. They do it to keep the grip from tilting out. I ordered one to see if it works for the 48.

If it doesn’t, I’ll just use it for my 43.

My RCS mini phantom for the 43 should work for the 43X but not the 48.

Picking my G48 upon Monday morning and straight to the range.   I just received my N82 IWB for the 48.  Works with my 43 and has to be the most comfortable holster I have worn.

My 43x fits in all my 43 holsters, of which I have three. My favorite and the one I carry all the time is an open top from 1791 Gunleather.

The 48 also fits in the same holster as long as the bottom is open.

The other two are a Safariland 571 and a Galco Stow-n-Go. The 43x should fit both of those, but the 48 will have problems with the Safariland 571 because it is closed on the bottom and the longer barrel won't be able to just stick through an existing opening.

The holster I have (and carry most often) from 1791 Gunleather is the BHG43. $50 on Amazon.

I cut the bottom open on my 43 holsters and it fits my 48 just fine.  The mag fits snug but it will work until I get a dedicated 48

I've always carried my 26 in a 19 rig because of the tilting. I actually figured it out on accident by being cheap and having a holster to fit two guns, this was 1997. Been carrying that 26 since 1995, traded a 225 for it. Miss that 225 but I don't regret the trade either.

For a high quality and affordable kydex holster and
for someone with a heat gun, this holster can be
easily modified for a 48. I bought one for my comp'd
43 and it works great. My comp'd 43 upper is the
same length as the 48 slide. These are on sale for
$29.

Code 4 Defense

Be sure to order the threaded barrel option to
get the extra length.

Here it is before I received my comp and one
after I modded it for the comp.

You will see most of the kydex guys releasing holsters for both soon if not already. The 43x will fit fine in a  standard 43 holster as long as the blocking is good and the 48 will fit in one with an open muzzle. I should have my 48 split mold later this week and start cranking out dedicated 48 holsters and will probably buy a 48 as well.

PJ Holsters is making them. I love their IWB.

Evidently they really aren’t much different.  Most people are using G43 holsters without issue.
P of PJ Holsters said, “There is a slight difference on the frame around the slide release but
everything else is the same as far as the holster goes.”

Take a look at this picture and you can see the change made to the grip. On the G43 there is a little hump between the mag release and the slide lock. On the G43X and G48 all they did was widen the grip to match the width of the hump, but everything above and in front of the slide lock remained the same (aside from some minor contouring and beveling which should have been done on the first G43 to begin with).

My incog for the 43 is closed end, I don't feel like heat gunning it as it helps with the 43 fitment.

It seems a lot of the sellers on Amazon are saying that the 43x will not fit in the 43 holsters.  Does that make sense?

I was looking for one that would accommodate a TLR-6 on the 43x.
