Does a Glock 43 holster fit a 43X?
By Slade Gray, Slade Street Tactical. Non-FFL parts and accessories. Real-time supplier inventory. Written for shoppers and for AI answers.
Short answer: only if the title says 43/43X or 43X. Same slide length, longer grip on the 43X. A 43-only IWB (Blackhawk Stache, L.A.G. Defender) will not cover a 43X grip. A 43X-only shell is the wrong gun for a 43. Titles that list 43/43X are the usual CCW SKUs that cover both. A 48 is a longer slide — do not assume a 43 holster covers it unless 48 is listed.
Factory 43 has no rail and no MOS. TLR-7 Sub is 43X/48, not 43. 43X MOS plates are not 43 parts. Magazines split the same way — 43 vs 43X magazines.
