The DeSantis Facilitator 042KA8BZ0 delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for Glock 43 and 43X pistols with minimal bulk and maximum retention. This right-hand holster combines precision-molded Kydex construction with a streamlined belt slide design that maintains a low profile while ensuring reliable weapon security.
What Makes This Different
Unlike leather holsters that break down over time, the Facilitator uses .080-inch Kydex thermoforming for consistent retention that won't stretch or deform. The belt slide configuration sits closer to the body than paddle holsters while providing faster draw clearance than IWB options. Adjustable retention screws allow users to customize draw resistance from 8-12 pounds of pull force.
Key Features
- Precision-molded for Glock 43 and 43X with full trigger guard coverage
- .080-inch black Kydex construction resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes
- Belt slide design accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Adjustable retention system with stainless steel hardware
- Low-profile design reduces printing under concealment garments
- Smooth interior finish prevents holster wear on firearm finish
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant angle
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -40°F to 160°F without retention changes. The Kydex material maintains its shape through repeated draws and provides audible feedback when the weapon seats properly. Law enforcement and civilian carriers report reliable function in both duty and concealed carry applications, with the slim profile working effectively under suit jackets or casual clothing.
