OWB holster for G42

[peterb]

My primary carry method for my G42 is IWB but I’m also looking for an OWB option. I like the retention of Kydex, but many of the classic pancake-style holsters I ‘ve looked at seem bigger and bulkier than needed for the G42. Suggestions?

Thanks!

I like the snap into the holster you get with kydex, but my experience is leather provides more retention.

The Mitch Rosen Upper Limit (available in Full Detail and Express line) seems like a natural for small auto loaders though I don't know if they make it for the G42.

G42 listed - I had one for my G17 and very much liked it - https://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/OWB-V2.html

I have one of those for my 92 and like it.

That said, the only OWB for our pair of G42s I have to this point is a Fobus paddle that came as a package with one of them, and we never, ever use it. We have three IWB, one Vedder pocket, and a SmartCarry that all get used. OWB for these little guys seems to be ... not the point for why we have them.

On occasion, as a BUG to my duty G23, I carry the G42 off side in a Safariland 7371 Micro 7TS ALS. Very small footprint, but certainly not a pancake style holster.
