ClipDraw Holster Replacement for Glock 43 in Black.

1. There is no safety issue. 200 rounds put through after install without malfunction or it blowing up in my hand as one reviewer implied may happen. 2. I carry +1 as do thousands of Glock owners and the safe action trigger is tried, tested and true so unless you're carrying something crazy in your pants that you're worrying will snag the trigger I'm pretty sure you'll be ok. 3. It carries as deep or as shallow as you place it. I carry at 1 o'clock with the clip position at the halfway point of my belt and it stays there. I have good retention and it's easily accessible. This is a good product and does exactly what it's intended to. But what do I know, I only instructed small arms for 3 years in the Navy and for 3 now in civi life... I'm not trying to offend anyone but people who truly trust and rely on a firearm as a weapon know that looks are a far 2nd to performance.

Good quality product, it's fairly easy to install, however, you may need an extra hand getting it placed in position, but it's no big deal, the screws and lock washers go together very well, and the clip fits just right against the slide. It carries well in the waistline, and allows for deeper concealment than what other similar products appear to offer. The only thing I don't like is the slight disruption it can cause while racking the slide, but it's not really an issue with the product it's self, because that's the only place it can really be mounted on the G43. It does what it says it will!

Works great on my G 43x with red dot and/or light (I’m using a TLR7 sub). This is the Best option I've found if you run a red dot and light, as this ensures you don’t have a paving brick sized package to conceal like you would with a kydex IWB holster. I don’t wear super baggy clothes, so this is one of the few options available to keep things slim and hidden. The slide backplate replacement (which you screw the clip into) is made of solid metal, which is an improvement over the factory plastic/metal hybrid. The slide cycles with zero malfunctions after many, many rounds varying from 147gr to 115gr. I also like that it comes with two sets of screws/lockers in case you lose one! My only ask/gripe is that they coat the screws in some locking compound and provide some torque specs. The instructions were somewhat lacking in that regard.

Easy installation, fit perfect

The Clipdraw gun clip for the Glock 43 is quite nice. The replacement rear slide cover fits snugly in the rear of the slide, and the clip secures to it firmly. The clip itself is spring steel and strong. Installation is very easy and the clip comes with good directions. You only need to provide a small flat head screwdriver to push back a spring to remove and install the new rear slide cover. The clip attaches with two socket head screws, and the hex wrench is included with the clip. In use, the clip allows you to conceal the pistol almost completely inside the waistband of your pants. I find it to be much more comfortable that the inside the waistband holster I was using before. The only real drawbacks I find is that the clip runs along the slide, covering the serrations on one side. This makes racking the slide a little more difficult, and might be an issue if your hand was wet or slippery. A rough surface on the side of the clip would alleviate this issue. The other issue is that because it conceals the pistol so deeply in your waistband, drawing the gun is slower, which could be a problem in a self defense situation. I do believe that with practice, this could be overcome though. I have read other reviews that have complained about the rear slide cover being shorter than the Glock slide cover. Although it does leave a bit of a gap, it doesn't affect the performance of the firearm and is purely aesthetic. Overall, I find this clip to be a great addition to my Glock 43.
