Safariland® Species IWB Holster for Glock 43 / 43X

The Safariland^® Species IWB is a minimalist inside-the-waistband holster designed specifically for the Glock 43 and Glock 43X. Engineered for discreet everyday carry, it combines a slim low-profile design with reliable retention and all-day comfort. The compact construction keeps the firearm close to the body, reducing printing under clothing while maintaining smooth and consistent access. Adjustable retention and carry positioning allow users to fine-tune the holster to their preferred setup, making it an ideal solution for daily concealed carry.

Minimalist Design for Concealed Carry

The holster features a streamlined, low-profile design that minimizes unnecessary bulk and improves comfort during extended wear. Its compact shape sits close to the body, enhancing concealment while allowing unrestricted movement. A partial sweat guard separates the firearm from the body for improved comfort without increasing the overall footprint of the holster.

Secure Retention Without Unnecessary Complexity

The Species IWB utilizes passive retention around the trigger guard area to securely hold the firearm in place during daily movement. Retention tension can be adjusted using a screw and rubber spacer system, allowing users to balance security and draw speed according to personal preference.

Adjustable for Personalized Carry

The holster is equipped with a durable belt clip that allows adjustment of both ride height and cant angle. Users can tailor the carry position to match their preferred draw style, including appendix carry configurations where stability and positioning are especially important. The clip is compatible with standard 1.5" (38 mm) EDC belts.

Precision-Molded Fit

Designed specifically for the Glock 43 and Glock 43X, the holster provides a precise fit without unnecessary movement or play. The molded construction follows the contours of the firearm for secure positioning and a smooth draw stroke. An integrated sight channel accommodates standard-height sights without interference during holstering or presentation.

Optics-Ready Design

The holster is compatible with pistols equipped with compact red dot optics and accommodates many popular micro red dot models, including the SIG Romeo Zero, Trijicon RMR CC, Shield RMS/RMS-C, Swampfox Sentinel, Springfield Hex Wasp, Holosun 407K/507K, JPoint, Crimson Trace 1550, and similar optics. Compatibility with oversized or non-standard optics may vary depending on the specific configuration.

Durable Construction for Everyday Use

The holster body is constructed from precision-molded SafariLaminate™ and Boltaron^® thermoplastics, materials known for their strength, rigidity, and resistance to impacts, temperature changes, and chemicals. This rugged construction ensures long-term durability and reliable performance under everyday carry conditions.

Enhanced Protection for the Firearm

The interior of the holster is lined with soft suede to help reduce finish wear on the firearm during repeated carry and draw cycles. The lining also helps protect sensitive contact surfaces while maintaining smooth operation and consistent retention.
