Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Galco Royal Guard holster suitable for a Glock 43X with a light?

The Galco Royal Guard holster has been specifically designed to accommodate the Glock 43X and 43X MOS when equipped with popular light attachments like the Nightstick TSM-11G/14G or Streamlight TLR-6, ensuring proper fit and retention.

How does the Galco Royal Guard leather holster compare to Kydex holsters?

Leather holsters like the Galco Royal Guard mold to the user's body over time, offering superior comfort, especially for concealed carry. Kydex holsters are rigid and do not conform, meaning the body molds to the holster, which can be less comfortable.

What are the key differences between the Glock 43X and Glock 43X MOS regarding light compatibility?

The Glock 43X MOS features an accessory rail, allowing for different light attachments than the standard Glock 43X, which does not have a rail. This distinction is critical for selecting the correct light and holster combination.

What is the recommended technique for re-holstering a Glock with a light attachment?

When re-holstering, place your thumb over the slide, keep your trigger finger straight and away from the trigger, and push the firearm into the holster while maintaining thumb contact on the slide to prevent snagging.
