DeSantis 085TA8BZ0 Thumb Break Mini Slide Holster Glock 43/43X/48

The DeSantis Gunhide 085TA8BZ0 Thumb Break Mini Slide delivers secure retention and fast draw capability for Glock 43, 43X, and 48 pistols. This outside-the-waistband holster combines traditional leather craftsmanship with modern retention technology. Premium tan leather construction provides durability while maintaining a professional appearance for concealed carry applications.

What Makes This Different

The thumb break retention system sets this holster apart from basic friction-fit designs by providing positive weapon security during physical activity. Unlike snap-style retention, the thumb break mechanism allows for a smooth, natural draw stroke while preventing accidental weapon displacement. The mini slide profile reduces bulk compared to full-coverage holsters while maintaining complete trigger guard protection. Heat-molded leather construction ensures consistent fit across the compatible Glock models.

Key Features

• Thumb break retention system for secure weapon containment
• Premium tan leather construction with reinforced stitching
• Compatible with Glock 43, 43X, and 48 pistols

Field performance testing demonstrates reliable retention through dynamic movement while allowing sub-second draw times with proper training. The leather construction breaks in naturally over the first few weeks of carry, conforming to the user's body shape and carry position. Weather resistance remains consistent through normal exposure conditions, though extended moisture contact should be avoided. The holster maintains its shape and retention properties through thousands of draw cycles.
