Finally did it. Now I need advice/help

[dukeboy_318]

After decades of resisting and not liking anything Glock had, I finally found one I actually like and liked the feel of. So yesterday, I finally became a Glock owner buying a G42 with a streamlightTLR-6 and fiber optic sights.

where I need advice or rather to be pointed in the direction of, is when it comes to holsters. I’d prefer an OWB Kyldex option molded to allow for the TLR-6 to be mounted full time. I’ve found a few options, but they appear to all be IWB.

Also, looking at some of the various mag extensions for the Glock mags, anyone have ones they like, don’t like?

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks. There used to be a guy down this way that did that too but I’ve not seen him back for 3/4 years now

a right hand IWB becomes a Left hand OWB ... that's how they pitch them on Tulster - Glock

I run the magazine extensions from Taran Tactical Innovations. Have had good luck with then on all the Glocks I've put them on.

Ditto. TTI base pads on my g43 have been great. Have a couple +2 and one +3, perfect function over the last couple years and couple thousand rounds.

Tons of great holster options out there, though slightly harder to find light-bearing ones. Take a look at Dara holsters, excellent quality, expensive but worth it. https://www.daraholsters.com/custom-kydex-owb-holster/

Parabellum in Avon will mold a holster to your setup, usually while you wait. Don't know you location but if that's in your time zone they have done a couple for me that worked well.

It’s within an hr drive so close enough. Thanks!

It might be Harveys Holsters, I've stood and watched them make a few and talked with them, also family owned.

Also take a look at Bravo Concealment, they always have a buy one get one free offer.

OP, if you're looking for an OWB holster for a G42 with a TLR-6, you might take a look at Vedder Holsters. Their LightDraw OWB (belt), and ProDraw Paddle are available in that configuration. I have a couple of LightDraws I've been satisfied with (although not versions for handguns with lights). Vedder has been easy to work with and responsive to questions.

How do you like their stuff? They're not too far from me and I keep telling myself to give them a call.

To the OP:
I had the little pierce extensions on several mags back when I owned a G42. Makes the gun just feel better in the hand. Didn't ever have issues with mine, though I never used it for EDC. With a gun that small, just make sure you hold it tight. I've seen several new shooters have cycling issues or be all over the target on my old one, but it was pretty reliable for me.

Also, these couple of things appealed to me, though I never got around to buying&installing before deciding to go with something besides the G42:

Vickers Tactical Slide Racker for Glock® 42 (ONLY) - GSR-01

TangoDown - Known for Vickers Tactical Upgrades for Glock. Our reputation for unique design and quality manufacturing of weapon components has earned us first choice when it comes to stepping into harm’s way.

I have a buddy that really likes a We The People kydex owb. I think it's a paddle holster, not sure if you like those or not.
