| I wish Raven would offer their VG3 light bearing holster for the Glock 43/43X/48 and Streamlight TLR-6. I've never been interested in the TLR-6 for my 43 as I often carry it in an ankle holster as my BUG. Now that I have a 48, I'd buy the TLR-6 and VG3 in a heartbeat. |

| Currently using a Tulster IWB holster. Decent construction and retention, gun comes out pretty fast after the retention is broken. The biggest issue is finding a mag pouch. The 43 pouches that I have are too small and the G19/17 pouches that I have are too large (obviously). I did find a G43 K-Rounds mag pouch that worked, but I'm not a fan of belt loops. I just picked up a LAG single mag pouch for a G19 magazine. I cut about 1/4" off the rubber spacers and was able to tighten down the two halves and get decent retention on a G48 mag. |

Have the JM Custom Kydex 2.0 on the way, pricey looks good though.

I just ordered this holster and mag carrier from Amazon.
It is for my new 43x. It has great ratings. I got the black kydex holster and a mag holster for the 43 comes with it for $19.95 shipped. There is a carbon fiber version for $24.95 shipped. It has 41 star reviews, all five star ratings. Should be here next week to try out. Attached File |

I’m currently using the vanguard for g43 on a 48. I swapped the plastic hook for a pull the dot. Works fine. I’m bummed there is no incog for it. Impatiently waiting for gcode stealth holster to come out for it. 43 slide on 48 frame works fine with incog if anyone cares. |

I was texting with my boss last week about some work stuff, and as we were finishing up, out of the blue he said IWB or OWB. I said O, so then he said Kydex or leather. I replied Kydex. I had no idea why he was asking but didn't think any more about it. He had me stop by his car on the way out of work this afternoon and gave me these for my new 48.

Black Point Tactical has the 43x and 48 listed as options on their Mini Wing IWB.
I have loved my Mini Wings for my 19 and my 43, so when I pick up my 48 I will likely be sticking with what I love. I carry either the 19 or 43 around 3.5-4 o'clock position and it has worked great for me going on 3 years give or take. Black Point Mini Wing Edited to add- it worked great today during my 2.5 year olds hair cut in which he turned into the combination of a Tasmanian devil and a crocodile (doing the death roll). I had to basically hold him in the straight jacket position. That is a tactical as I hope to get today! |

| I ordered a Kydex OWB holster for a G48 with TLR-6 from tr_holsters through ebay. It arrived last night, and since I haven't even had the chance to shoot the gun, yet, much less carry it, I can't speak to the holster's carryability, but it seems as well made as my KT Mech holster for my G19 and G45. The price was right, too, at $46. |

Folks, I'm a little stuck here. I'm looking for a G48 holster that will accomodate the TLR-6. Anyone hear of anything/know where I can look for one?
I thought about a JMC G43 w/TLR-6 "Long" and then cutting the bottom but I'd rather not try that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Nick |

I feel it's a little loose for my taste even after tightening up. We will see after it softens up a bit. Currently wearing it at 3 o'clock. |

I am looking for an OWB paddle, like a Fobus that I currently own and use..but I would like it to fit aG43 with aTLR6. Now huge profile stupid Blackhawk types either, I am open to leather with a tumb break or some form of positive retention.
I HATE IWBs..not an option for me. |

I ordered a Tier 1 Xyphos for G48 w/TLR-6 a few days ago. Hasn't even shipped yet but that's ok as I don't even have a G48 
Went to buy one last week and was told that my ID has to have my current address or I need some kinda gov issued bill reflecting my current address. Don't have any but I'm heading to the DMV tomorrow to just get a new card. It's weird, my second job is checking in patients at a hospital. I would estimate that about 50% of Drivers Licenses don't show people's current homes. I just moved a month ago but a lot of people tell me "I haven't lived there since 09, 11, 2012..etc". Weird |

ETA:Looks like reinforced clip on loop. |
