Looking to see what others have had luck with in finding a tight to body solid OWB holster for their Glock 43. Leather or Kydex. I carry at 4oclock and like a decent cant as well. Looked into Wrights Leather Works, Milt Sparks I-Bak, and even some Galco on Amazon but would rather here from those who have had experience. Thanks
I have a leather slider, similar to the Milt Sparks I-Bak, it works OK, although it does print a little more easily than a couple of my Kydex/polymer OWB holsters. I wish Glock would come out with a version of their simple combat sport holster, that thing works great on both my normal and large frame Glocks.
I use a Bravo Concealment BCA OWB holster with pancake style belt loops to carry my 43. This happens every single day, and has for the past two years. The holster holds the gun tight against your waist, is comfortable and does not print.....I wear it at 4 o'clock. Quality product/fast shipping.

When I bought a G43 for work I cruised for Kydex holsters and found https://onyour6designs.com/firearm-holsters/ Good holster, well made, secure, carries tight to body, great customer service and reasonably priced.
Consider the Alien Gear cloak slide. Base price is only $29, plus $5 to upgrade to black leather, plus shipping. Its the only OWB holster I use. It holds the gun tight to the body and works great. I skip a belt loop so I can slide it back to 4:00 most of the time, and forward to 2:00 while in the car. I own about 10 of these suckers for various guns. Highly recommended.
I'm retired and no longer dress for success. My standard garb is a pair of "Old Man's" coveralls (jump suit) or bib overalls. I never wear regular pants or a belt as there is nothing to prove and no one to impress........... snicker.
I carry my G43 in a Carta Valley minimalist shoulder holster for the jumpsuit.
A "Hide it" holster slips down the side of my bib overalls. That holster has a sun glasses case that I pull up then cross draw the G43.
Both holsters are super comfortable in this hot climate!
I pocket carry a spare magazine or a plastic carrier that holds 15 rounds of 9x19.
I make holsters. OWB run $35 shipped. Just give me the cant that you would like and whether you want a full sweat shield, half shield, or no shield. They come in black. Loops fit 1.5 inch belts. Here is an example of my work.
I made my own. It works great. It was intended to be a prototype to see how the design worked and I was going to replace it with one that was cosmetically better, so I didn't make much effort with the stitching or edges, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
As others have already mentioned, the Glock Sport/Combat holster is probably the best value there is for OWB. I didn't know Glock doesn't offer one for their small single stack 9mm. Gaston must be distracted ...
I got the OWB holster from PJ Holsters. I love how it is minimalistic with the one piece design, is very lightweight, holds very close to my side so it conceals well and was reasonably priced.
I purchased mine from a seller called 1441_gear on ebay. The "Curve" model for my 43. He has lots of options for just about any handgun. You could also do a search on ebay for others.
ETA: found a couple of pics.

Leather for me. Ryan Grizzle. Not cheap or fast, but very good. The G43 turned out to be a POS but the holster is great! Works O.K. with my Shield. Going to have him build one for my G17. :flag:
