The Blackhawk Serpa CQC OWB holster for Glock 43 is a right-hand carry option built around speed and security without bulk. Sized for the compact Glock 43 (Size 68), this outside-the-waistband holster combines a thin polymer profile with the SERPA Auto-Lock retention system—a patented mechanism that holds your gun securely until you begin your draw. It's the kind of holster that works whether you're training at the range, carrying for personal protection, or running drills at a local match.
The appeal here is real-world practical: the speed cut design removes material where it gets in the way during the draw and re-holster cycle, so you won't snag on fabric or lose time on dry practice. Retention is adjustable via a detent screw, so you can dial in how much pressure you need to feel confident your Glock 43 stays put during movement. The matte black polymer construction keeps weight minimal and doesn't draw attention, and it's compatible with pistol-mounted reflex sights if you've upgraded your optics.
Versatility is built in: the package includes both a belt loop and a paddle platform, so you can run it strong-side hip, appendix, or even switch platforms if you change your carry setup. That said, this is purpose-built for the Glock 43 in right-hand carry—if your gun or hand orientation is different, you'll need a different model. The thin profile and adjustable cant give you options for how upright or angled you want the holster to sit, which matters for both concealment and draw angle.
