The bank robber wondering why I’m adjusting my junk right before I pull my big iron: 👁️👄👁️

[@deranathonarkantos6712]

😂 G43, 43X or 48, not exactly what I'd call "big iron" G34 or 17L maybe. Of course, if they did make holsters for those, you'd REALLY get the "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see?" question a lot from members of the opposite sex, and probably from some guys these days.

[@corvusdefensio3439]

Hi! We try to answer some of the questions with this comment. We are fully aware that this holster is a niche product. It evolved from a personal demand from one of us. Before the development there were 20 years of carrying a G26 IWB/Appendix or with Fanny Packs or later a Ruger LCP or a G43 with Clips. None of these solutions were satisfying for the purpose of deep concealment which was superior to other carry methods. So we partnered with Black Trident to develop the UBC43. Our personal daily carry experience with a G43 and this holster is about 3 years now. This holster does exactly what we always wanted. Obviously you cannot make a G43 disappear. But with this holster it is almost possible. Even when you wear your shirt tucked in (which was one of the demands). You can bend down with no interference or sit in your car for hours without even noticing it. Another advantage is that you are not pointing your muzzle into your own groin like it is with common IWB Appendix holsters (especially when seated). The gun is also fully protected by the holster and an aggressive stippling or skateboard tape on your grip does not wear on your skin. Of course you are faster to draw from a conventional IWB holster. But with the UBC43 you can be pretty quick too. And you can do this one or two handed (and no - you do not need 3 hands to draw from under a shirt 🤣). BUT YOU HAVE TO TRAIN the technique like you have to do it with any other piece of gear. Some have the concern to push the gun out by touching the muzzle. We fully understand this concern. But the trigger of the Glock is protected by the holster ALL THE WAY until you grab the grip and release the support hand from the pushing motion. So technically you cannot shoot your self with it. Long story short: This holster is not made for everyone. If your belly is too big or you do not have/want to carry deep concealed you are better preserved with standard IWB holsters 😉. BTW: In the near future we will probably release a model for SIG 365 and/or LCPs as well.

Guys, could you look into importing AC Unity 10er AUG mags? Seems kawatec fell asleep. The short Steyr ones with the roll pins are annoying, hard to clean, high price too. I'm looking forward to your trigger if it'll come out. Maybe add the HS Produkt H11/Hellcat too.

Yep and any kind of grip attachments will probably not work with this holster. I have a hogue grip on my Glock 43x so idk how it would work with this.

looks like it'd pop out every time you sit down.

[@f308gtb1977]

Not if it moves with your leg. I don’t think it moves with your leg, but if it does it would be fine. Or if you could somehow carry it a bit to the side. Which also looks like it’s not possible.🤣

[@jamesmackinnon3741]

This holster but it goes all the way down to the end of the barrel. There is a tab inside the holster at the end that raises through a lever that sits right beside the clip. You push down on the lever, the tab raises pushing on either a light or rail raising the pistol up.

[@dothwalrus370]

It's not like the gun is gonna go off from touching the barrel.

[@emergingloki]

Much more comfortable than a standard height carry for us guys with a gut.

[@ThomasJeffersonWolfcall-kn3bx]

Clip Draw with a trigger guard does the same thing but with 1/5th of the bulk and you can still draw with one hand.

[@lestagez]

yea but the issue is that it wiggles, there is only one clip, so it makes the gun slide from left to right, especially doing a slight jog or walking up stairs.

[@vegeta420z6]

1:13 "standard glock light"? What light would that be?

[@tortol4847]

My only concern is that the front of the slide is not covered and will get exposed to sweat. You'll definitely have to keep it well oiled... and for that matter I don't really want gun oil soaking into my leg all the time. And what the heck is that price? 120??? For a kydex holster with two stamped belt clips? That's a 50-60 dollar holster at most.

It’s sad no one likes 43 anymore. I appreciate the 43 and 26 for better concealment. The handle is always the hardest to conceal. You can always make a 26 bigger but you can’t make a 17 or 19 smaller.

[@ryanpeck3377]

You use 1 hand for shirt. then you think about a something sexy, getting erect, which pushes the gun up. Then second hand to grip.

My 3rd leg pushes the gun up.

this should fit the Dagger Micro. good stuff man

[@sp22m3]

So you pop it from the top of the holster as you try to establish a grip? Prettttttttttttttttty odd idea. I like having a safe grip on the handle established before drawing the pistol out of the holster.

[@AdrenalineTheory]

Love Corvus and use a bunch of their stuff on my AUG. They really need to get their trigger pack out though. The damn thing has been in development FOREVER. lol As far as this holster goes i love it. It would be great if they made it for other popular models but knowing them itll never happen. It SHOULD work very well with a CZ P10S though given the deisgn and size similarities. Kind of like the G19 and P10C when it comes to holsters.

[@baraksinz2937]

So you stick your hand in front of the barrel to push it up? 😬🤔😳

[@lisettezamora1910]

So you have to muzzle your fingers, and also hope it doesn’t come flying out when you sit because there’s no retention. I don’t think I could live with the constant adjustment of something popping up above my waistband when I don’t intend for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MaximumNewbage]

If the holster requires you to push on the muzzle of the gun to pop it out, that seems like it would risk pushing the slide out of battery. So if you're used to carrying with 1 in chamber, and thus do not practice racking immediately upon drawing, you may be screwed over by drawing in a sudden emergency, expecting a bang, and getting a click insteadm

[@bmbullman]

How worn out is your recoil spring?? I don't see that as a real possibility.

[@MaximumNewbage]

@@bmbullman Doesn't take much force to push a slide out of battery. And it could easily stay that way if you haven't recently oiled and cleaned it. I think you're thinking about the amount of force it takes to rack the slide fully. You need way less than that to push it out of battery. Sure, in an ideal world, you'll always perfectly maintain your gun at full readiness at all times. But the world is not ideal. So you should be planning with Murphy's law in mind rather than how things would ideally happen.

[@bmbullman]

@@MaximumNewbage I'm familiar with how they work. I'm pushing on the front of my P365 right now and it's moving 1mm, maybe 2mm max. Easily going back forward. To actually unlock the barrel and stay out of battery? Not gonna happen.

[@MaximumNewbage]

@@bmbullman Glad to hear that your sample of 1, that you may or may not have recently cleaned, won't be an issue with this holster. Although, you have no idea how much resistance the holster itself puts on the gun, which means you won't know for sure until you buy it. Another issue that I forgot to mention is that anything that requires you to press on the muzzle of a gun seems innately ill advised because you're flagging your own fingers. So that's another reason to to carry with 1 in the chamber if using this holster, and just working in the muscle memory to rack the slide upon drawing.

[@bmbullman]

@@MaximumNewbage Eh, they're all about the same. I'm not really buying your arguments, sorry. As for flagging, basically everyone flags themselves when holstered. As long as the holster is well made, you shouldn't have a problem. Aside from the 320, guns don't go off without the trigger pulled. And I'm not even buying this holster. Don't really care about it. I just thought your out of battery reasoning was dumb..

[@Jameshoover753]

[@brettkos3081]

I don't like that there isn't a way to unholster in a second manner. Meaning if the push the tip method doesn't work, there isn't a back up method

[@checkmate058]

How is this diffrent to the Urban carry

[@bigfootgoesboom]

Needing both hands to draw quickly is the big drawback that I see

[@beezy204]

Normal appendix carry required off hand to lift shirt anyway. Open carry is the only way (assuming you’re not wearing a coat) to have one hand draw

[@dannya951]

It may not necessarily be the ideal technique, but he demonstrates a one-handed draw at 2:18 that would be mechanically similar to drawing from a more conventional concealed holster while you manage your shirt with your other hand.

[@zues287]

​@@beezy204you can definitely lift the shirt and draw with the same hand if needed (in case one hand is needed to fend off an attacker). Two hands is better, of course.

[@f308gtb1977]

He literally draws with one hand multiple times in the video. And some of you guys have never practiced clearing a shirt and drawing with just one hand? I sure hope you’re not injured, or holding a child, or doing anything else with the other hand, when you need your piece.

[@beezy204]

@@f308gtb1977 I never said it was the only way to draw, it is the conventional way. Yes, carrying a child or fending off an attacker is a special case. Conventionally, its a two hand draw. All I was trying to say. There's lways an caveat that requires a different technique...........
