Blackhawk SERPA CQC OWB Holster for Glock 43 - Left Hand, Matte Black Polymer, Size 68, Belt Loop/Paddle

The Blackhawk SERPA CQC OWB holster for Glock 43 is a left-hand carry option built for shooters who want speed and security without the bulk. This compact outside-the-waistband holster pairs active retention with a streamlined profile, making it a solid choice for range sessions, training, or everyday carry when you want accessibility over deep concealment. The Size 68 configuration is purpose-fit to your Glock 43, and the included belt loop and paddle give you flexibility in how you carry.

The SERPA Auto-Lock is the mechanical centerpiece here—it provides Level 2 retention that holds your pistol securely until the moment you need it. The release mechanism engages naturally during your draw stroke as your index finger drags across the lever, meaning retention doesn't slow you down once the gun is yours to move. That's where the speed cut design earns its name: it reduces material around the trigger guard to help you clear leather and establish your sight picture without wrestling extra polymer. Re-holstering is just as deliberate, with the geometry supporting a controlled return to the holster mouth.

Matte black polymer construction keeps things light and durable, while the adjustable cant lets you dial in the carry angle that suits your draw and body. The passive retention detent screw gives you fine-tuning room if your gun's fit needs tweaking over time. If you run a pistol-mounted reflex sight on your Glock 43, the holster is compatible, so you're not forced to choose between optics and carry.

This is a working OWB holster—no compromise on capacity or flash, but no apologies either. It's at home on a duty belt, a range bag attachment, or a training rig where accessibility and proven retention matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster work with my Glock 43 that has a red dot mounted on top?

Yes. The SERPA CQC is compatible with pistol-mounted reflex sights, so you can run your optic without swapping holsters.

Can I switch between belt loop and paddle carry?

Yes. Both the belt loop and paddle platform are included, so you can choose whichever mounting style suits your setup.

What does Level 2 retention mean, and how does it work?

Level 2 retention means the holster uses both an automatic lock and an active release lever. The SERPA Auto-Lock secures your pistol until you initiate your draw; your index finger naturally disengages the retention lever as your hand moves into firing position.

Can I adjust the cant on this holster?

Yes. The holster features adjustable cant, allowing you to customize the angle of carry to match your preferred draw and body position.
