Corvus Defensio UBC-43 Holster for Deep Concealment

Corvus Defensio developed the UBC-43 Holster, especially for the purpose of deep concealed carry of slimline versions of the Glock pistol series.

Despite that there are similar products out there already – primarily for double-stack pistols – none of them fulfilled our desires. The wish to carry a Glock 43 deeply concealed, loaded, safe, and comfortable on a daily basis while still being able to draw the gun quickly pushed us to develop the UBC-43.

The exceptional cooperation with the young Austrian Holster and Gear manufacturer Black Trident gave us the opportunity to transform our ideas into a high-quality product.

The holster is primarily made to carry a Glock 43 deeply concealed in the 1 o’clock or 11 o’clock position (appendix) inside the waistband below the beltline. The UBC-43 will also fit a Glock 42, Glock 43X, and Glock 48.

If there is a special need to even deeply conceal a light/laser module on one of the aforementioned Glock models, the holster also takes the gun with a mounted Streamlight TLR6 (only). The UBC-43 is fully ambidextrous.

Application and Warning Message:

• Always be sure of the condition of your firearm and always treat the gun as loaded when you handle it in combination with the UBC-43.
• For safety reasons, we strongly recommend carrying the gun with no round in the chamber when you are using the UBC-43. To draw the gun one has to push it out of the holster by touching the muzzle! To carry the gun loaded is at one’s own risk!
• The UBC-43 is a niche product for special needs and special situations. It does not fit every body type!
• Our understanding of deep concealment carry is the prioritization of concealing the gun before other features as the speed of draw or the use of red dot sights and various weapon-mounted lights and lasers. This product is not suitable for customers who prioritize the latter!
• Despite several draw techniques are possible we strongly recommend pushing out the gun at the muzzle with the support hand and draw it with the shooting hand!
• We recommend putting thread locker on all screws of the holster (e. g. Loctite 243). Regularly check the status of all screws!
• The holster can be used for G43X, G42 and G48 but it is optimized for G43 models!
• If a TLR6 light/laser model should be used the rubber spacers have to be replaced by the included plastic spacer. Attention: In this case the drawing resistance will be higher and the drawing angle will be different! This will require a slightly changed drawing technique! The UBC-43 is optimized for a G43 without any lights mounted!
• The steel clips are optimized for maximum discreetness. They will not fix the holster 100% to the belt like a vice. The velcro mounts will only stop the holster from sliding down. Additionally, the holster is fixed by the clamping force that originates between the body and the belt/pants.
