Holster suggestions for G19

[Wrangler]

Now that it is getting warmer, well not today, I am not wearing a coat at work. I have been carrying my Glock 19 OWB and my kel tec on a belt clip. My question is what would be a better way to carry my G19 when i am not wearing my jacket or shirt untucked. Any Ideas?

The usual IWB recommendations, I guess.

Want something pretty quick?

kydex: Comp-Tac or Crossbreed

leather: D.M. Bullard or less custom Galco, Hume, Desantis

wait a good long while?: TT Gunleather, UBG Holsters, K&D and etc.

wait a long long while?: Milt Sparks and etc.

many others of course.

I only listed makers who have double retainers that are off the thick part of the gun.

If you want some kind of clip/loop holsters that have those on thick part of holster/gun, there are many many, but I never recommend them.

More than likley, you'll have to do what we all end up doing. Most of the holsters that are recomended are holsters that are simply wonderful and do their job. The only issue is one might be more uncomfortable to someone then it would be for someone else or maybe the "draw" of the firearm is tough or hard to do. So, feel free to purchase a few holsters and try them out, you can always sell them to someone else to try if you don't like them......oh, and expect to buy a few before you find one you really like......

Sorry, that's the truth.

For my G19 and my summer carry G26, (unlike "OhShoot";) ) I use a BlackHawk IWB. It's a single snap belt-loop leather holster and it is very comfortable for me to carry in the "4/5 O'clock " or "Kidney Karry" position. It's the only position I'd recomend for this holster though. I've tried other positions but they aren't as comfortable with this holster.

I carry my G19 inside the waistband in a Comp-Tac MTAC holster. Super comfortable and very concealable.

That's the best and quickest that I have found (for my needs). You'll have your holster in about a week and it's money well spent even if you are only going to be using it for a short period of time........and I guarantee you someone will happily buy it off of ya if you decide to move on to something else at a later point and time.

+ another 1

I just got my MTAC for my G19 a couple of days ago, barely a week from order to received.

Obviously, I haven't carried outside the house yet. lol...

Well thanks to you, I just placed my order. Lets hope it comes in a week.

+1 on the MTAC

[mhm2a]

+1 on the MTAC and may I suggest the slide model for the G19. I think you will find that the less length on the kydex body makes it a little more comfortable. Also, go ahead and order a couple more clips. One set you can alter or cut the excess off of when you find the sweet spot for you and the other you can keep stock.

IWB and don't forget to get a good gun belt

Speaking of belts, what would you recommend?

The Belt Man is in the top few choices.

Hard to do better than the 1.5" bullhide.

I carry my Glocks in a Crossbreed and love it. Alot of leather backing, but it keeps the gun out of my lovehandles and the sweat off of my gun.

Yes, I own both the MTAC and the Crossbreed. Oh, and yes, get a good belt. I have a nylon 5.11 Operator belt. 5.11 makes a nice looking leather belt as well.

That is what I use.

[MemphisMechanic]

I've had 27 holsters.

I carry a G19 in a Comp-Tac CTAC, on a beltman belt. Best combo for IWB ever.

[redstategunnut]

I carry my Glock 32 (same dimensions as the G19) in a Kramer IWB#3 horsehide on a Galco CB2 belt. Great for all day carry.

[Raoul]

Perfect timing. Just p/u a G19 today. Thanks all for the post.

I love the Kramer holsters, I have 2 for my 1911's, have the #3 IWB on order for my G23. Nothing better for my purposes.

+ 1 on the belt. I have one I had made locally that I've used for several years. It's time to replace it. i ordered one from the beltman last week. Glad to hear another recommendation for his work.

[Guest high-octane]

I carry a g23 in a crossbreed around the house. I wish that permit would get here!

[Guest illumina]

Anyone have any experience with the new neutral cant MTAC? I just passed my HCP class today and am trying to decide between the neutral cant and the traditional MTAC. From the description it sounds like the neutral cant is more for a two o'clock position, and I'm looking more for a four o'clock position, so I'm leaning towards the traditional.

[Guest Fwdftw]

I ordered a MTAC last week waitin for it and my permit now 7-14 days BOYS!!

[hkusp40cal]

+1 for the crossbreed, nice thing about them is, the G19 one can be used with many different glocks. I have carried my old 23 and 27 in it just fine since you can "remold it". They actually send directions with the holster on how to adjust the tension by remolding the kydex.
