Retention & Cant, Right HandCurrently unavailable. Was $39.99 in early December.It looks like Warriorland makes many other styles of holsters, but in this review, I will distinguish the two holsters as the holster with claw (HWC) and the holster without claw (HWOC).First, here are the similarities. Both holsters compared here:~ are Kydex holsters that fit the Glock 43X (MOS) capable of having an optic installed,~ have an open end design that allows for a threaded barrel to protrude through the end, though suppressors obviously won't fit through the holster,~ have adjustable retention by means of looseming or tightening one or two of the screws used to assemble the holster together, where a rubber cushion introduces resistance,~ have an adjustable cant, though by different methods,~ no thread lock is used anywhere.Then, the differences are that:~ HWC is an IWB only design, while HWOC can be configured to be IWB or OWB,~ HWC uses a wide plastic belt clip, while HWOC uses two narrow plastic belt clips that are on each side of the holster,~ HWC ride height cannot be adjusted, while HWOC ride height is adjusted by moving the belt clips up and down.~ HWC cant adjustment is accomplished by loosening the belt clip screws and altering the angle of the belt clip against the holster. The Amazon product page doesn't mention HWOC having cant adjustment, but slight adjustments can be made by adjusting the right and left belt clips unevenly.~ HWC Kydex extends on the left side of the gun nearly to the end of the slide, offering protection from rubbing and snags while holstering and unholstering. HWOC Kydex extends only to the point of protecting the slide release.~ HWC has a claw, and HWOC does not._The Claw_Having the claw is definitely an advantage. The small plastic piece pushes on the inside of the waistband, tilting the holster and therefore the grip clockwise into the abdomen, making concealled carry printing less obvious. I also find that this tilt makes it easier for me to get my thumb on the left side of the gun easier.I notice that the claw slides around against the inside of the waistband, although the surface of the claw that interfaces with the inside of the waistband has some texture to it. I might rough it up a bit more with a Dremel, or add grip tape._IWB Only or Dual Purpose IWB/OWB_The HWOC being dual purpose is nice, but I don't see OWB carry necessary for a subcompact like the 43X. I will most likely always carry this at the 12 O'clock position, IWB._Comfort_I wish that the HWOC has more of a curved shape. While this holster with a 43X is no where near the size of having a Glock 19 in a IWB holster, it is a bit more substantial compared to my previous setup, and if the HWOC was a bit more curved, I think it would fit better. I'm not sure what the ideal position is for the HWOC, but I couldn't get comfortable even at 12 O'clock.Ride height is just right with the HWC for walking, sitting, and driving, so it's not a huge disadvantage not being able to adjust it.At the moment, I think that both are well made, but I'm leaning more toward using the HWC primarily.

Excellent but packaging horrible.

The kydex is very thick. More than some more expensive holsters I've had in the past, so no worries there. The retention is very good once I adjusted it. You can hold it upside down & shake it very hard and it still holds. I didn't have to adjust the height as it rode really well at 3 o'clock & I could get a very good purchase on it. Drove around with it & was fine. Could get a better purchase on the grip while driving than any other holster that I've had (Glock 19). Conceals well enough for the size of pistol it is. If I have on a loose shirt you can't hardly tell it's there. I left it as it was right out of the packaging but I may try to lower it down below the belt a bit more & see how the grip is then. It's not as big as I thought it might be. I was worried it might be too bulky or uncomfortable. It's got a bit of a bend in it so it curves around my hip & helps to conceal the holster and it's more comfortable that way too. The clips are thick plastic but grip well, not too hard to get on & off with practice. They look like they could be tuckable, but I haven't tried. I wear a 1 & 1/2" Wilderness instructor webbed style belt & it works just fine with that. I paid for this out of my own pocket and have no affiliation with this company. I'm just impressed with this holster & wanted to post as I took a chance as there was only one review and I'm glad I did. It Stays Put instead of flopping around like many holsters with only one clip do. I would recommend this to anyone of my friends, family or "people" without hesitation & have thought about purchasing as gifts for a few. God bless all on here & good luck with your purchase!

Good fit for firearm

I recently purchased the IWB & OWB Convertible Holster Optic Cut for my Glock 19, and I’m extremely impressed with its versatility and quality. This holster is well-designed to accommodate a wide range of firearms, including my Glock 19, 43X MOS, and even my Taurus G3C. The fact that it can be used both inside the waistband (IWB) and outside the waistband (OWB) is a huge plus, allowing me to switch up my carry style depending on the situation.The adjustable ride height is a fantastic feature, giving me the flexibility to customize the holster for a perfect fit and comfortable draw. It holds the firearm securely while still allowing for a smooth and quick draw when needed. The retention is spot-on, and the optic cut is a great addition, especially for those who run a red dot on their pistol.The holster is made of high-quality materials that feel durable and robust, ensuring that it will stand up to daily use. It’s also surprisingly comfortable to wear, whether I’m carrying IWB or OWB. The design is slim and doesn’t add unnecessary bulk, making it easy to conceal under clothing while still providing full coverage and protection for my firearm.As a right-handed shooter, I appreciate the right-hand orientation option, which is perfectly suited for my needs. Overall, this holster offers excellent value for the price, providing a versatile, comfortable, and reliable carry solution for multiple firearm models. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality holster that adapts to different carry preferences and firearm setups.

It works well for concealment, however the p320 has been banned from duty use at work for the foreseeable future.

I purchased this to fit a PSA Dagger and it fits like a glove. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I appreciate the composition of this holster. It’s not cheap quality and the retention is nice and snug. Not uncomfortable but it isn’t the most comfortable. Depending on where you carry could also impact how comfortable it is. I carry appendix and between 2&3 o’clock so I’ve found this holster to be good for me.
