Custom KYDEX® Holsters for the Glock 42
The Glock 42 is the deep-concealment specialist — a true micro .380 that carries where nothing else will, and a favorite for smaller-framed shooters and non-permissive environments. ANR Design builds custom KYDEX® Glock 42 holsters precision-formed in Manchester, NH on a dedicated G42 shell — molded to the micro frame, not scaled down from something bigger. Carry it IWB with a full concealment claw setup, in the Nidhogg OWB, or in our Master Blaster subcompact AIWB platform — and if you run the Streamlight TLR-6, the one light made for the railless G42, we mold a dedicated fitment for it. Every build is made to order, priced and lead-timed live in the builder below.

Glock 42 Fitment & Compatibility
Our Glock 42 holsters are molded on a dedicated shell for the micro .380 — its own fitment, its own retention tuning, not a downsized version of a 9mm shell. A gun this small lives or dies on precise molding: the G42 shell delivers the same audible click retention as our full-size holsters at a fraction of the footprint.
Every Glock 42 holster clears suppressor-height sights as standard, with optic accommodation for slide-milled micro red dots.
Carry Options for the Glock 42
Inside the Waistband (IWB): The G42 is built to disappear, and our IWB rig helps it vanish completely — in-house concealment claw, your choice of injection-molded clips, heat-treated DCC Monoblock steel, or the NeoMag Alias system, with ride height and cant adjustment. At the G42’s size and weight, an IWB rig rides all day without a second thought.
TLR-6 Light-Bearing: No rail doesn’t mean no light — the Streamlight TLR-6 mounts to the G42’s trigger guard, and we mold a dedicated G42 + TLR-6 fitment in both IWB and OWB configurations.
Nidhogg OWB: The same dedicated fitment outside the waistband — range days, backup-gun carry, or working configurations for the micro frame.
Master Blaster AIWB: The G42 pairs with our Master Blaster platform — purpose-built appendix carry for subcompact and micro guns.
Spare Magazines: The Glock 42 has its own dedicated fitment in our Pistol Mag builder, built to pair with any of the holsters above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Glock 43 holster fit my Glock 42?
No — the G42 is a smaller gun in every dimension, and a 43-molded shell won’t retain it. Our G42 holsters are formed on a dedicated micro-.380 shell so retention locks on your actual pistol.
Can I get a light on a Glock 42 with no rail?
Yes — the Streamlight TLR-6 mounts to the trigger guard instead of a rail, and we mold a dedicated G42 + TLR-6 fitment. It’s the one weapon light genuinely built for the G42, and we support it.
Can I get a left-handed Glock 42 holster?
Yes — left-handed builds are fully supported and made to order alongside right-handed ones. The builder shows the exact lead time for your configuration before you order.
Does the Glock 42 holster clear a red dot?
Yes — shells accommodate slide-milled micro red dots and clear suppressor-height sights as standard at no extra cost.
What warranty comes with a Glock 42 holster?
Every ANR Design holster includes a free Lifetime Warranty on the KYDEX® shell for the original purchaser — automatic on every order, no registration.
