I currently use a Bianchi leather IWB holster for my Glock 36 and It feels pretty good now that I’ve gotten it broke in. Anyways I’m in the market now for an IWB holster for my Glock 43x. MidwayUSA has a kydex one but I wonder how that feels against the body. My preference is probably leather unless y’all say kydex is equally as comfortable as well.

I hate shopping for holsters. It’s like picking out new shoes.

I’m a whore for a good leather holster, but for IWB my favorites are the crossbreed, leather against your body with kydex shell on the gun. Here’s one for your 43: The Reckoning Holster

I run one of their dual clip models for my Mk25 and it is great!

im gonna look into those. I like the look. It looks comfortable

Kydex because leather will get soft. Good way to shoot yourself.
Really depends on the leather and the maker these two are two of many from my custom leather guy here in okc. I’ve ran the basket weave one with my Mk25 for years. But it’s also well made and about 1/4” thick lol
