If you carry a Glock 43, you already know the best upgrade isn’t always a new part—it’s the right gear. The right holster, belt, and support accessories can make a slim carry setup feel lighter, hide better, draw cleaner, and stay comfortable for long days.
In this guide, you’ll get a curated list of proven concealed-carry gear choices that pair exceptionally well with the Glock 43. Then we’ll pivot into a separate review of the Springfield “SA-10” platform (commonly referenced as an AR-10–pattern .308), focusing on what makes it a standout field-carry platform—especially if you’re building a dependable setup for training, property use, or outdoors carry in a sling-based role.
Before you buy anything, lock in the “stack” that works for most people carrying a slim pistol like the Glock 43:
When these pieces work together, your Glock 43 can disappear under a t-shirt, carry comfortably for hours, and draw cleanly without constant adjustment.
For a Glock 43, most people do best with a slim, molded IWB holster that offers:
Adjustable, slim, and built for everyday comfort.
Why it’s popular: The LightTuck is known for being thin, adjustable, and easy to dial in. You can change ride height and cant so you can carry the Glock 43 where it hides best on your body. It also supports add-ons like a claw to reduce printing.

Carry without a belt—great for athletic wear, dresses, and non-belt outfits.
Why it’s different: If your daily outfits don’t always work with a rigid belt, the Enigma is a game-changer. It’s a chassis-style system that lets you position the holster securely and adjust concealment around your body, not your waistband.

Pro tip: If you’re new to concealed carry comfort, start with one solid IWB holster and a real EDC belt. Many “comfort problems” are actually belt problems.
A quality belt is the backbone of your carry setup. A weak belt lets the holster tilt out, creates hot spots, and increases printing. A good belt does the opposite: it stabilizes the holster, pulls the setup inward, and keeps everything consistent.
Look for:
Micro-adjustable fit and strong support for daily carry.
Why it works: Kore’s track system gives you lots of small adjustment points—perfect for fine-tuning comfort after meals, while driving, or during long days.
Compact buckle designed to free up space up front.
Why it’s popular: For appendix carry, buckle size can get in the way. Nexbelt’s small buckle design helps you keep your belt comfortable and functional while carrying up front.
Simple, rigid, and built for daily wear.
Why it’s a staple: Blue Alpha’s Low Profile EDC belt is known for being supportive without being flashy. It’s a “set it and forget it” option for people who want durability and consistency.

Low-light capability matters because many real-world situations happen in dim conditions—parking lots, hallways, early mornings, late nights. If you choose to run a light, make sure your holster is specifically built for that exact light and pistol combination.
Why it’s a common choice: The TLR-6 is designed for subcompact setups and is widely supported by holster makers. It’s a compact option that can add illumination without turning your carry setup into a brick.
Important: If you add a light, you need a properly fitted holster that fully covers the trigger guard and is designed for that specific light-bearing setup.
If you want your Glock 43 to conceal cleaner, the two biggest concealment tools are:
These small changes can massively reduce printing and eliminate pressure points. Many quality holsters (like the LightTuck) offer claw and wedge options, or compatible accessories.
Daily carry means sweat, lint, moisture, and bumps. A simple maintenance routine keeps your setup reliable:
If you store your carry setup at home, consider a secure storage solution that matches your lifestyle and household needs.
Quick clarification: “SA-10” is often used as shorthand for a Springfield AR-10–pattern .308 platform (not a concealed-carry pistol). In this section, “carry platform” means field carry—a sling-based setup for training, property use, or outdoor roles.
One of the most recognizable Springfield AR-10–pattern options is the SAINT Victor .308. If you want a platform that’s built to be maneuverable without giving up capability, this is where Springfield has put a lot of its attention.
Why it stands out as a carry platform: Springfield positions the SAINT Victor .308 as a lighter, more maneuverable .308 option. The goal is a platform that can move quickly and handle well—important when you’re actually carrying it for extended periods.

If you’re carrying an AR-10–pattern .308 in the field, the “gear” changes from waistband carry to sling and control. The best upgrades are the ones that help you:
Bottom line: For a field carry role, Springfield’s SAINT Victor .308 approach—lighter weight, maneuverability, and a feature-ready layout—makes sense as an “innovative carry platform” in the sling/field context.
A quality IWB holster + real EDC belt. That combo solves most concealment and comfort issues before you buy anything else.
Both can work. Appendix often conceals very well with a claw/wedge and a good belt. 3–5 o’clock can feel more natural for some people. The “best” option is the one you can wear consistently and safely.
Not required. If you add one, commit to a correct holster built for that exact combination.
No—when people say “SA-10,” they’re usually referring to an AR-10–pattern .308 platform. It’s a carry platform in a sling/field sense, not waistband concealed carry.
Want this personalized? Tell me your preferred carry position (appendix vs 3–5 o’clock), typical outfits (t-shirt/hoodie, athletic wear, etc.), and whether you carry spare ammo—then I’ll recommend a tighter “buy list” with 3–5 best-fit options.
