Pocket Locker Kydex Pocket Holster (Glock 42)

The Vedder Pocket Locker is the kydex pocket holster benchmark for the Glock 42. The shell is custom-molded to the G42 outline so the gun seats with positive retention and an audible click on re-holster, and an external hook on the side catches the corner of the pocket on draw so the holster stays put while the pistol comes out clean. Three retention screws let the user dial in pull weight from light (faster draw) to heavy (better retention for active movement).

Trade-offs versus the soft-shell DeSantis Nemesis: the Pocket Locker is made to order and ships in roughly two weeks, the kydex prints slightly more in tight-cut pants, and it costs nearly twice as much. In return you get full kydex trigger coverage, faster and more consistent draws, and Vedder's lifetime warranty. Order direct from Vedder; not stocked at OpticsPlanet.
