Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MD-4 stay in place without a belt or clip?
Yes. The MD-4's high-friction synthetic rubber exterior grips the fabric of your waistband or pocket from the outside while the smooth interior allows a clean, consistent draw. Most users find it stays securely in position during normal daily activity without any clips, loops, or belt required — though a belt or waistband does add an extra layer of security for active use.
What other guns fit the Sticky Holsters MD-4 besides the Glock 43?
The MD-4 is a multi-fit holster designed for slim, compact single-stack pistols. Beyond the Glock 43, it is commonly used with the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield (9mm and .40), the Springfield Armory XDS, and other pistols of similar dimensions. If your firearm has a mounted weapon light or laser, look for the MD-4-LG variant designed to accommodate those accessories.
Can I use the MD-4 for pocket carry as well as IWB carry?
Absolutely. One of the standout advantages of the Sticky Holsters MD-4 is its true multi-use design. The same holster works for inside-the-waistband carry, front or rear pocket carry, ankle carry, or even off-body in a bag or vehicle. The friction rubber keeps the holster stationary while allowing the firearm to draw cleanly — making it one of the most versatile single holsters on the market.
