Pulling the Glock 42 results in the holster coming with it tight fit at trigger guard. Modified by putting a small block of wood where the lock for the trigger guard is and heated the plastic. Glock 42 now pulls just fine and still locks in place. I have two other Fobus holsters, 1 for my Glock 26 and 1 for my Taurus and the Glock 26 had the same problem. The Taurus holster works great, but then again the holster wasn't made for the Taurus!
Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New. I purchased this holster as another option for concealed carry as I wanted another option besides my Clip Draw. This is a decent holster however, it is not a good concealment holster. Unless you wear a tent for a shirt, the massive lump gives it away. Not impressed when Galco and Clip Draw make better concealment holsters.
At first I really liked this style holster. To be clear it works, the quality is very good and it is super convenient to take on and off. The down side to me is that if you adjust the tension to "click" when the pistol is inserted it's hard to draw. If you loosen it to where is draws smoothly it doesn't hold the pistol any better than other types of holsters. I still use them and they function well but if you want solid "locking" plan to use both hands when you draw.
As you may know there aren't many options for the Glock 42 in paddle holsters, especially at a reasonable price. I use a paddle holster because I take my gun off and on a few times a day as I can't carry at work. I tried the basic Blackhawk and found the paddle way too big for a gun of this size and somewhat difficult to put on and remove. I also tried the Tagua Quick Draw and, while it is an improvement over the Blackhawk, has many sharp edges that kept poking me.
Decided to give the Fobus a try and I'm glad I did. The paddle is the perfect size for this pistol and holds the holster in place securely but can easily be removed and put on without loosening your pants. The rubber backing of the paddle is very comfortable, I'm surprised more makers don't use it.
The holster keeps the pistol q uite secure and the tension can be adjusted to your liking. The low price is an added bonus. Great holster, I would recommend it to anyone. Just ordered the same model for my Rossi revolver. Read full review. Fobus holsters are always a good purchase. They are made for the pistol you have. Many models of paddle holsters have button latches, but some do not.
If yours does have a latch, snap it in place to further secure the weapon. Most latches are made so that you can easily unlatch them with your thumb as you draw the weapon.
Place the holstered pistol above your waistband, paddle side facing in. Grab the holstered handgun by its handle, with your finger off the trigger. The rigid paddle portion of the holster faces inward toward your body, and will tuck into your waistband. The part of the holster that holds the firearm will hang over the outside of your waistband.
Alternatively, you can place the holster over your weak side hip so that you draw the weapon across your front with your dominant hand. Some people like to place the holster over their tailbones for added concealment, but you run the risk of hurting yourself if you fall on your back. Slide the paddle between your waistband and your underwear. Push the paddle completely over the waistband of your pants, as far downward as it will go.
You should feel the tension of the paddle pressing against the waistband of your pants. The holster will remain much more secure, however, if you tuck it inside your waistband and over your belt.
This security clip helps prevent the holster from sliding out when you draw your weapon. Part 3. Draw the firearm from the holster with a smooth, secure motion. Grab the handle of the gun with your dominant hand and lift it straight up.
Once the barrel has cleared the holster, grip the firearm with both hands and practice aiming the weapon. If the holster has a button latch, you will need to unsnap the latch before removing the gun. Use your thumb to unlatch it as you grab onto the gun handle. The tension and lip on the clip of the paddle should hold the holster in place as you remove the gun, especially if you lift the gun straight up.
Keep your finger away from the trigger unless and until you plan to shoot, even when the safety is still on. Make sure that the gun is properly aimed, and that the safety is off, before placing your finger on the trigger and firing the gun. Adjust the positioning of the holster to suit your comfort and needs. Practice drawing the firearm from the holster several more times to check for ease and comfort.
You should be able to grasp the handle, undo the button latch if there is one with your thumb, and pull out the pistol with a smooth hand and arm motion.
Slide the holster forward or back along your waistband if necessary to make drawing easier. Ease of adjustment is one of the major selling points for the paddle holster, especially in comparison to a belt-style holster.
Many paddle holsters are made to hold the firearm at a degree forward angle, which makes it easier to draw this is the standard positioning for the FBI.
You can tilt the paddle forward or back slightly to adjust this angle as needed. Remove the holster by tilting inward and lifting upward.
Grab the handle of the gun and use it to tilt the top section of the paddle toward your body and away from your waistband—the bottom of the paddle, in turn, will angle outward.
With the paddle tilted, lift the weapon and holster up and out of your waistband. If you do not tilt the paddle in this manner, it might get stuck on the waistband or your belt when you try to remove it. The pistol could accidentally come out of the holster this way.
Whether you store it in the holster or not, store your firearm in a safe location. You should keep it in a locked cabinet, especially if there are children around. If, when worn properly, you feel your gun is not held tightly by the holster, it might be that your gun is not a fit for the holster model you have.

Fit-Specific Holsters Universal Holsters. Home FAQ. Click to collapse. Fobus fit-specific holsters are divided to two main groups: passive retention holsters, and trigger locking holsters.
For trigger locking holsters, retention is achieved by a locking mechanism and not by pressure on, or friction with the pistol; therefore, there is nothing in these holsters that may wear out the finish of your gun. For passive retention holsters, retention is achieved by pressure of the holster on the pistol's trigger guard.
When holstering, your trigger guard passes a certain "bump" in the holster body, which thereafter prevents the gun from coming out of the holster unless pulled with force. The friction with this "bump" may, in some cases, wear out a finish on a very small part of the trigger guard only, and in no way influences other parts of your gun.
As for scratches, since the holster is not pressing the pistol frame or slide anywhere except as described above concerning the trigger guard , our holsters will not scratch your firearm.
