By the way, check out KYTEX mag carriers for the G43. I have these for my G43, G26, and G19. At $18.95/unit, they’re quite reasonably priced. They’re comfortable to wear, and have held up to daily use for over a year now without showing any signs of wearing out or breaking. They also keep the mags up tight against my side so that they don’t print under shirts. They’re so simple, but so far these are the best of the kydex mag holders that I have tried - particularly for the price.

I agree, I went to OWB long ago and never looked back. Of course I’m a fat guy so IWB carry is more difficult for me.

For me, it's my back. I don't notice any pain while carrying IWB, but after a couple days doing so, my back will start hurting constantly. That's with even tiny guns like a Sig P938.

Mrvmax, I used to suffer a lot by carrying IWB slightly behind my hip. Nowadays, when I carry IWB, I carry exclusively Appendix IWB, and it is FAR more comfortable that way. Unexpectedly, I found that it conceals better that way too, with far less printing. .......and I’m a “fat guy” too. The holster I use for my G43 was made for me by my son. I’ve posted pictures of it before on these pages. But you can get one very similar to it from CYA Supply, and at $38, it is very reasonably priced. I have a CYA holster for my G26, and I carry it AIWB that way all the time, and it is still fairly comfortable despite being a wider gun than the G43.

The one my son made for me (with matching mag holder):




The CYA version comes already canted and cannot be adjusted to a vertical grip like I’ve done with this G43 holster; but the cant on my G26 holster from CYA doesn’t seem to make the pistol any more difficult to draw when carried appendix style.

BTW.....I also carry both pistols OWB too. Just pointing out that IWB doesn’t HAVE to be uncomfortable.
