Glock 43 carry?
I pocket carry my 43 in a DeSantis Super Fly. This holster was on sale at Midway USA last week. I suggest that you look ay this "unique" pocket holster.

Had a Superfly once, that I bought off a gun forum. It was just too bulky for what it was, and I sold it the next day.
As always, IMHO & YMMV.
I bought a really nice pocket holster from eBay all leather very soft holds gun in place and covered the trigger for 20 bucks.. I can easily retrieve my gun without snags or other issues. Perfect for summer shorts and t shirts.
For iwb I do like my kydex but the don hume leather is outstanding. Very comfortable. My kydex not as comfortable

Pocket holster IWB!
I carry my G42 - basically the same size as a G43 - in a BORA II pocket holster, but I put a static cord on it and carry it IWB with the end of the cord through my belt.
It doesn't print, even under a normal-fitting T-shirt, and YMMV but it never feels uncomfortable to me. I've carried this way every day for about 3 months since I bought the gun. I did this originally because I intended to pocket carry when I wore a coat and thought I would need a proper IWB holster too, but this works so well this is the only holster I use and I never pocket carry.
The gun shifts a tiny bit back or forth (you can minimize that by reducing the amount of slack on the static cord), but it has never fallen out of place (It can't because the static cord wont let it) and it's never shifted so much that I can't get a good grip on the gun on the first try.

I went with the Blade Tech Klipt kydex IWB and love it. Very comfortable and secure
After carrying a Glock 26 for years, I finally picked up a Glock 43 for summer time. Ive been using the Bianchi model 100 pro (Ive always used one with my 26). It's a good holster, but I'm always looking for something that be more comfortable. Then again, less so since carrying the 43. I like leather only, and would love a holster like mine with more surface area to distribute contact more. Still, it's kind of a "cant go wrong" holsters that you'll probably not regret having. You'll like that 43, it wears very IWB.
I have a Walther PPS, which is dimensionally similar to the G43 (although the Glock is slightly shorter in the grip with the flush magazine). Otherwise they're quite similar.
I found Vedder Holsters to be very high quality. The "Light Tuck" kydex holster so far has been great. It's very adjustable for both height and cant, and it's pretty easy to get on and off without having to touch the gun. The spring steel clip is VERY strong and adds no bulk, but it can be a bit tough to pry off a thicker belt. That works very well, and they ship within a few days of ordering. It's about as comfortable as a hard piece of plastic in your pants can be
You can tuck your shirt in around it, although it does produce a bit of a bulge. I find it useful when wearing shirts that aren't very long and could "ride up" and expose what's beneath. I just wear a light undershirt and tuck that around the holster, then if the outer shirt lifts up, the gun still isn't visible.
I've also used a Sticky Holster. It's nerve wracking at first because you're sure it's going to fall down your pant leg, but it's cheap and so far stays put even when moving, jumping, squatting, etc. Just cinch your belt in a little. That's versatile and the soft material cushions the gun a little against your skin (though not a lot). Remora makes a similar product and that one is available with or without a small belt clip. I think both brands are comparable and both seem to work well.

Carry mine in a Tulster. Worth a look. https://tulster.com/holsters/glock/glock-43/
My G43 and I've been happy with both IWB and pocket models from Vedder Holsters (http://www.vedderholsters.com).

I recommend the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0. I have one and it would be perfect for you! The neoprene feels awesome, the holster is sweat resistant, and wearing it at 4:30 o'clock would be perfect in your line of work!

Kydex is awesome. Until you find holes in your clothes
