I'll be getting one for my 43 in a few days. Will update then.

 

Fobus is ****. I've been shooting for 25 years and I would not use it outside of the range

Exactly what about the holster leads you to that opinion?

 

I have one for my G23 and I like it a lot. XLNT retention but easy draw with adrenaline assist. I wear it strong side rear and cover it with a sportcoat or other XXLong garment.

I don't understand why anyone doesn't like these holsters. I'm thinking snobbery because of low cost. I only use it for winter carry, other wise I prefer a single stack carried IWB.

 

All of mine (after some retention adjustment), work fine and are comfortable to wear.

I/ve had many and they were just fine... Paddle holsters... Sold all my holsters when Clip Draw came along. I sort of miss them and my GLOCK Kydex Holsters. I DO,,,, have some Uncle Mikes pocket #3/s but never use them.

 

Garbage

 

I've used them for years but have found that the original basic model works best. No moving parts etc. They are cheap but do the job. Since they are made and used in Isreal I suppose that counts for something as they don't make junk whenever it comes to weapons. The only drawback is the lack of adjustability. The Roto version does not hold its draw angle after a while and if you leave mags in the mag holders all of the time they loose the firmness that holds the mags in. Of course if you wash them in hot water they return to factory condtion.

 

Fobus is "OK", and serviceable. But there are better choices.

 

I'll add my two cents... if all the holster is used for is something to keep the pistol in... for example if it stays in your night stand or maybe the glove box of your truck...ok and I mean just ok. Somewhat ok if all you use it for is a range holster. However do not, I repeat do no use a fobus as your carry holster. In terms of a carry holster they are absolute junk. There's a reason they're so cheap and other holster cost more. A fellow officer at a department I used to work for showed up at a training class with his glock in a fobus. Our training officer, whom I consider to be one of the best, observed this and flipped his ****. When the officer argued the case the training officer grabbed his pistol and yanked it, completely ripping the pistol out the holster. Not only was the paddle snapped but the actual holster ripped at well. And there the training officer was with a loaded glock in his hand. Our department then came out with a memo stating that no officer will carry a fobus holster with either their duty weapon, backup, or any weapon in the capacity of a law enforcement officer. I've since heard that multiple departments have done this ass well.

your full of **** poser

 

Especially with the common Glock models...17,19,26...there are a lot of great, barely used holsters. You see them here, and on every other forum, and eBay. Often, pretty cheap.
When I was looking for a paddle holster for my G26, I found a great Safariland. Leather lined laminate, like new, and really works great. Looks good too. Probably outlast me by far. All for $25 shipped on eBay. A new one is about $80.

 

I've not heard comments like these about the fobus before, but that's probably just because I haven't been paying attention to them.

My dilemma was a desire for a paddle holster, kydex, for the G43.

If glock made one (like they do for all the other models, except the 43 and 42) I'd be on it in a second.

Hopefully the fobus I ordered isn't as bad as some make it sound...

 

Fobus, is fine for the range. But paddle holsters tend to draw with the handgun, Fobus does it more then most. They are cheap, you get what you pay for.

 

I have one. It's been so long, I don't remember which Glock I got it for. Set as low as it will go, the retention is so tight, the whole thing pulls right off my belt along with the gun. Others have said they love there's so your mileage my vary. Good luck with it.

 

Received mine today for my 43.

Should note, I got the 'version 2' (or ND), which from pics on Amazon, appears longer and bigger than the original version. Once the retention screw was released a little, and if you deliberately draw the gun, no problem at all.

It's a thick holster, so it must be some kind of plastic and not the thin kydex I'd prefer. But it's not bad. Covers the entire barrel.

Definitely happy with it, and Amazon price is very good.

Crap with a capitol C, depite being made in Isreal. You can ask your 8-10 year old to rip it off the rivets ---just grab the bottom and pull up. Imagine a 250 pound BG wanting to take your gun

 

If you weren't such a ***** another man shouldn't get that close and no 8 yr old can break those rivets

 

FYI: You can get them with proper belt loops in lieu of a paddle.

 

i had one and it just felt cheap and looked cheap. used a few times for carry then i found safariland als holsters and never went back. i ended up securing the fobus to the back of a side table to keep my gun by my lazyboy in case i needed it.
