How We Tested the Best Glock 19 Holsters
For this article, we gathered a bunch of Glock 19 holsters we’ve personally used, reviewed, and owned here at Pew Pew Tactical. The entire Pew Pew Tactical team, as well as freelance writers, contributed to this review to offer different opinions based on ergonomics, size, and experience.
In some cases, we’ve used these holsters with other pistols, but we have hands-on experience with each of these models (plus lots and lots of Glocks). All of them have pulled CCW duty with someone here at Pew Pew Tactical.
For holsters we have reviews on, we’ve linked those so you can read more.

Rounded Gear (formerly Concealment Express) holsters are popular here at Pew Pew Tactical — especially this one.
It’s lightweight, comfortable, and secure (both in how it attaches to your waistband and in how it retains your pistol).
The durable Kydex provides excellent protection.
It’s great for a variety of carry positions, but it does especially well in appendix carry.

3. Tenicor IWB – Best IWB Holster

Pros
- Slim and cut down on excess material
- Easy to draw from
- Comfortable to wear
Cons
- Pricey
Specs
- Style: IWB
- Material: Rigid synthetic
- Compatible with Optics: Yes
- Compatible with Lights: Varies by model
- Country of Origin: USA
If you have some cash to spend and want a high-end holster, check out the Tenicor Velo.
The shape of this holster makes it comfortable, and it naturally tucks the butt of the grip into your torso to minimize printing.
Their standard T1 clip is also super retentive. It takes longer to put on than some holsters, but it’s not coming off unless you want it to. Other more standard options are available too.
And, of course, it’s super fast on the draw.
The only downside is the price. But if you carry every day and want something super comfortable, this is it.
4. Safariland Incog X – Best AIWB Holster

Pros
- Capable of concealing a pistol, optic, light, and spare magazine
- Extremely durable
- Removable magazine carrier
Cons
- Expensive
Specs
- Style: AIWB
- Material: Rigid synthetic
- Compatible with Optics: Yes
- Compatible with Lights: Yes
- Country of Origin: USA
The Safariland Incog X is a good example of why we’re such big fans of that brand around here.
In the appendix position, this tank of a holster does a good job of disappearing. That’s due to a claw attachment that pulls the pistol grip in nice and close, and a shape that blends into your torso.
Like some other holsters, it comes with a magazine holder. Unlike those others, though, you can wear the holster on it own. It’s nice to have options.
It’s fairly customizable, too. Want it to sit higher or lower on your belt? There’s wiggle room in the belt clips to accommodate that. You can also swap out claw attachment shims to get the perfect fit.
That suede-like exterior is pretty comfy, too, especially on the sweat guard.
The Incog X is compatible with optics, and you can run a light on your pistol, too. Just make sure you specify which light you have when you order your holster.
5. PHLster Enigma – Best for Exercising

Pros
- Works great with shorts
- Very secure while moving
- Easy to conceal
Cons

- Material: Rigid synthetic

- Compatible with Lights: Yes (must specify)
- Country of Origin: N/A
We couldn’t make this list without talking about PHLster holsters. The company is a smaller shop but one that is dedicated to high-quality, solid holsters that conceal really well.
We personally tried their Floodlight IWB and OWB models as well as the newer Enigma system, and we couldn’t be happier with how they perform.
The Enigma system offers enough structure on its own that you don’t need to rely on a normal gun belt. Wear it under gym shorts and go for a run if you want — this holster can handle it.
Yes, these are a little pricier than some models, but they are well worth the money!
6. Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite

Pros
- Sidecar magazine carrier
- Very low-profile
- Super comfortable
Cons
- Expensive
Specs
- Style: AIWB
- Material: Rigid synthetic
- Compatible with Optics: Yes
- Compatible with Lights: Yes (must specify)
- Country of Origin: USA
The Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite is another expensive holster, but it only takes a second or two of wearing it to see why.
The Axis Elite does a great job of keeping a slim profile. You’ll be able to carry your Glock 19 and a spare magazine without adding a bunch of bulk to your midsection.
The hinged center portion lets the system flex as you move, so it’s one of the more comfortable options out there.
Like the Incog X, you can raise or lower the belt clips. We recommend buying a pack of foam shims to fine0tune your holster’s vertical alignment.
Tier 1 Concealed also offers a ton of options. Add a light, add an optic, and pick a color that matches your personality.
Just remember that this is a package deal; there’s no separating the holster from the magazine carrier.

The Galco Classic Lite Shoulder Holster is exactly what you imagine when you think of a shoulder holster.
It’s made of soft leather for a classic look and comfortable fit, and it’s available for either left or right-handed draw.
A mag holder and gear loop are on the side opposite your gun to add utility and keep the holster balanced. A snap closure keeps your gun securely in place.
And no, you don’t have to be a detective to wear one!

Pros
- Classic look and feel

For a more classic look, go with the Gould & Goodrich B803.
It’s made of real leather that’s molded to more securely fit a Glock 19.
The B803 is available in both left and right-handed versions and, can be positioned straight or canted. That’s a nice perk because most leather OWB holsters don’t give you that option.

We love leather holsters, but they do require some maintenance. Pick up some leather conditioner to speed up the break-in process and keep yours looking new.

The Crossbreed SuperTuck is another hybrid IWB holster we’ve had good results with.
It can be comfortably worn with a tucked or untucked shirt and fits toward the rear of your strong side.
The oversized sweat guard makes it all-day comfortable. No more chafing from aggressive grip texture!
Plus, the belt clips are powder-coated to protect your belt and allow for adjustable cant and ride height.
How to Pick the Best Glock 19 Holster
There’s actually a lot that goes into picking the right holster. Most of us own several, because our needs change from day to day.
Let’s figure out which factors you need to consider when buying a holster.
IWB, OWB, and Off-Body carry
Have you seen these terms before? They describe where you wear your holster: inside the waistband (IWB) or outside the waistband (OWB). Another term, AIWB, just refers to IWB holsters in the appendix position (the front of your torso).
There are also holsters specifically for women, like thigh holsters, carry purses, and purse holsters. Check out our Guide to Carrying for Women or Best Concealed Carry Gear for Women to learn more.
But don’t forget that off-body carry is for the fellas, too!
Preventing Trigger Ingress
One of your holster’s most important jobs is making sure nothing can reach the trigger.
When anything gets inside the trigger guard, that’s called trigger ingress, and it’s extremely dangerous. That’s why we recommend sturdy holsters that fit tightly around your pistol.
Comfort
Don’t underestimate how important comfort is. If you’re not comfortable wearing your holster, you probably won’t use it.
A comfortable holster doesn’t twist or rub. Over time, this minor inconvenience can lead to chafing, bruises, and blisters.
If your holster isn’t comfortable on your skin, you’ll want to wear a barrier between your holster and your skin or opt for a different holster entirely.
You also want to make sure that your holster won’t slip or shift. It should stay right where you left it, and a dedicated gun belt will make a huge difference in that.
Protection
Holsters shield your Glock 19 against bumps and abrasion. Most are made of leather, nylon, or a polymer like Kydex.
They all have pros and cons, which is why most of us have a collection of holsters.
Retention
You never want your pistol to leave your holster on its own.
The go-to litmus test for retention is simply turning the holster upside down over a soft surface like your bed. If your pistol stays firmly in place, you’ve got adequate retention.
Yes, I know most of you probably won’t be doing cartwheels or headstands in your holster, but what if you’re in an altercation and get knocked down?
The last thing you want is for your gun to slip out of your holster so an assailant can grab it.
Even outside of a defensive situation, you don’t want your gun to fall out while doing normal daily activities, like running, getting in and out of a vehicle, or using the bathroom.
Typically, passive retention CCW holsters use screws to adjust how tightly the holster fits around the gun.
Just remember that while retention is absolutely important, you also need to be able to draw your firearm quickly. Find the right balance.
Concealment
A lot of factors affect concealment. Your holster, pistol, body type, and clothing will all play a role.
You’ll also want to try a variety of different holster types to get an idea of what’s most easily concealed on your body and under the clothes that you like to wear.
There are some holsters that work great when we’re all bundled up in winter, but print terribly in summer clothes.
Positive Grip
You should be able to draw your pistol with a ready-to-shoot combat grip.
The holster needs to make this efficient, but you can’t expect it to carry the full burden here. You also need to consistently train to make sure that you can do this reliably.
The good news is that you can do it without firing a shot. Check out our guide to Dry Fire Training at Home!

Final Thoughts
You can’t go wrong with any of these holsters. But, to find the one that works best for you, try on and handle a variety.
Whichever holster or holster you go with, you’ll also need to be sure to drill to get yourself familiar with the holster. Also, continue to practice as long as you continue to use the holster to keep up your muscle memory.

I used to drive for a living and I got into a lot of not so nice urban neighbourhoods. Sitting in a seat with a seat belt is not exactly conducive to wearing either iwb nor owb or appendix. My solution was ankle carry. The particular one that I used had sheepskin on the inside with a wide stretch band with velcro. Whethet dressed or casual you can find low rise boots. When I was in those neighbourhoods I would unsnap the retention strap and would pull just past that snap and I was ready. Worked pretty well for me, just me, somebody else maybe not so much. If I had to walk or stand it was ok, if I had to sit, just be aware of where you are(you should be anyway). Did that for twelve years. I also used a five shot revolver with one and a half inch barrel. You run from trouble when you can! If you can't, you are going to need fifteen rounds anyway. This is for close-up situations! YMMV.
Well if someone looking for holsters here is the best website to buy:
countrycheapammo. com /holsters/
blackhawk_dot_com/holster-selector/colt-1911-gov.-and.-clones/t-series-l2c/BH-410703BKR.html - I bought this OWB holster for my Glock 19x. Can adjust the gun angle by moving 3 screws to fit it to the belt clip. My two uses are either hip or at my 6 with a 90 degree fitment, and both are a few mins to convert. And the thumb release is smooth! Would recommend!
I've run an ankle holster for a G42 or G43 or even the original Sig P365. I wouldn't recommend one for something bigger and heavier such as the G19. They're good for the 1-pounders, but not the heavier guns. The calf straps can help, but in my opinion it's just one more touch point to possibly irritate the skin. I've also found that without calf straps they tend to slip down so when sitting or bending the knee and your pants ride up a bit, they can become visible. And if they slip down onto the ankle bone it can be downright painful. Definitely best with a black gun in a black holster on black socks under black pants. They work much better if they're above boots... but that also puts them higher and on the thicker part of your calf so sometimes you need an extension. Being higher, they can also bulge more and bring attention to what should be concealed.
Sort of surprised you didn't mention belly bands? There's a few on the market and the newer ones from Vertx are stellar. But even the older Gould & Goodrich ones are good for a small to mid-sized gun and a mag or two. If you're in a business professional office situation and don't want a bulge on your hip or ankle... and don't want a metal or plastic clip showing over your belt, these work well (remember: some people carry even where they aren't permitted to due to dumb laws or policies... and others that carry know what the metal and plastic clips are for... so you can run afoul of both legal and workplace policy issues if the clip is seen and someone calls you out on it). They're sort of like a shoulder holster in terms of how they sit under your arm and on the side, but in my opinion are a bit more comfortable. They're not the easiest to access, but not much harder to draw than any other that requires untucking or pulling up a shirt. I'm actually a fan of the untucked dress shirt and belly bands can work well for that... plus they can make you look slimmer so all the chicks will want you :P Humor aside, I'd rather have one that has a slower draw than to not be armed at all.
I've tried more holster and guns that I can count and in the end it doesn't matter if I'm carrying a 1911 or a 2011 or a G19 or a P365XL... for long term comfort... especially on road trips and sitting for long periods... I absolutely love the SOB (small of back) holsters from DeSantis. I have a few. There's something about the placement over the hip and the butt up position that makes them comfortable when driving, easy to access, and easily concealed (less printing) due to most shirts hanging loose around that part of your body. Some of us with larger bellys print more 'cause our chest isn't further out then our appendix area. But almost all of us that are at least average size dad bods have wider back/shoulders than small of back so printing is less in this area with this style of holster.
Last thing I'll say is Amazon is a good source for buy and try. With each new firearm I tend to buy 10-15 holsters to find the right one(s) then just return the rest. Most of the good brands are on Amazon as well... either directly or thru 3rd parties. Just check the return options. And its a lot easier than returning directly and whippin' out your piece at the local gun store to try and find the perfect fit.
The market is flooded with Kydex holsters. And most all manufacturers of Kydex holsters seem afraid of adding active retention, especially level II retention minimum, to any of their concealed Kydex holsters. Sure, there are a few but not many in Kydex for concealed IWB or OWB unless you go to something like Safariland with their ALS system.
Look, here's the thing about retention: The, basically today, myth in the gun world that no one is going to try to grab for your firearm is just that, a myth. And yes, I know the thing about "but retention slows you down."
So the theory goes that a concealed holster is not seen so its unlikely someone is going to try to grab for it - but did ya ever get into a physical battle with someone attacking you and couldn't break free before they felt your gun? I have. About a year ago now while stopping for gas at a convenience store I got attacked by three guys. It was sudden, swift, and violent. One of them had me in a bear hug from behind before I could react, he felt my firearm and went for it and pulled in right out of the Tenicor passive retention IWB holster under my shirt. He didn't have a solid grip on it and because he had released his hold on me partially by moving his arm away to grab the gun I was able to snatch the gun back from him and twist out of his hold and bring the gun to bear. I didn't fire because there was by this time another car pulling up and was in the line of fire but they ran away anyway when the other car arrived. So I got really lucky.
So the moral of my story is this: In the right situation passive retention can get you killed with your own gun, or get your gun stolen.
I've since switched to Safari Land holsters with their ALS system.
Sure, my experience is not the norm. There are not many stories out there on internet searches where guns have been grabbed from passive retention holsters, especially concealed IWB or OWB, at least not enough to give an impression its a common thing. I used to think this too, like the rest of the general gun world, that it would be extremely rare for someone to try to snatch your gun from either open or concealed carry. But after my incident I started digging and found that it does happen more than the impression that it does not happen and its simply not out there on the internet. Not everything is in a news story on the internet, things like this when reported are treated as basically a 'theft' (and the associated assault too if that's involved) and get placed in a police report but there isn't any news coverage. Even the local cops I asked about this said they had not heard of it happening but when I dug further I found twenty reported incidents in a two month period just in my area alone that had been reported to police.
Sometimes I also open carry to and from the range, and when open carrying, and since my incident, I have become aware of people around me who seem really interested in my gun, not in a 'oh look he has a gun' novelty way either. I had one gang tattoo covered guy about two weeks ago that kept eyeing my gun and trying to get around behind me so I just put my stuff down and left.
So IWB or OWB, the Kydex is so popular and the market is flooded with Kydex holsters with passive retention portrayed like its the most glorious thing and a special built in 'value adding' feature but people don't go farther for retention and maybe they should.
I prefer OWB kydex holsters for any of my carry guns. I am carrying almost anywhere and for any occasion. Kydex holsters usually sit snug on the waist, don't move around, and the gun is easy to draw and re-holster. I even carry my firearms that way with shorts and a T-Shirt or short sleeve shirt. Just make sure that the T-Shirt or shirt is loose fitting. For some activities like hiking or biking, OWB is definitely more comfortable than IWB. I am a small frame person, and I can easily carry even my bigger, geared up P320 X-five with RMR and light all day without problems.
I don't know about the holsters but that is my coffee table...
Looking for choices on ambidextrous iwb/owb holsters for a Glock 19, any ideas??
I get my holsters from Dale Fricke a custom kydex holster maker in Texas. He does an awesome job. It didnt fit perfectly once with the tlr-1hl and I even tried to fix it myself. Then failed haha. Sent it back to him and he fixed it right up and sent it back no charge. The guy makes really great holsters. Check him out.
Anyone know what kind of leather pancake holster that’s pictured. 2 slot close to top of article? Can’t make out the company name on back.
This might be a dumb question but will a G19X fit into a G19 holster? Also, what about a G19 with a threaded barrel? Does that need its own or will that fit the standard ones?
Most holsters I see list both 19 and 19x. The only difference is a longer grip I believe. Were you looking at a specific holster? 19 w/ threaded barrel will fit just about any holster made for G17 or any G19 holster with open barrel/bottom portion
No it won't. The 19x is wider.
How has Phlster, JM custom kydex, Black star gear not made the list? Some of these are rubbish holsters. Not a good list. The only one on here that's even worth the drop is Tenicor
Recommendation: If you are going to be wearing a passive retention IWB holster on your back, get the holster designed for the other hand, i.e., left handed model for a right handed shooter. Your hand doesn't need to travel as far behind your back. It's significantly quicker to draw, especially from a seated position.
I have a Stealth Gear IWB mini. It is the most comfortable holster I have had. Breathes much better than any other holster as well.
I carry only OWB so my perspective is a little different. Is your goal quick access to your pistol or to keep your pistol hidden? The two are mutually exclusive with many holsters. I shoot right-handed, so the holster rides at 4:00 o'clock and a single mag pouch rides at 8:00 o'clock. I carry OWB and rely on a loose t-shirt or jacket for coverage. I don't worry nearly as much about printing since open carry became legal in my state. I used to carry a Colt Commander in a Milt Sparks holster. Since I've converted to plastic pistols, I've also converted to Kydex holsters. My two favorite Kydex manufacturers are Dara Holsters and Blade-Tech. Hard to find a truly custom Kydex holster. Most manufacturers are looking for ways to speed and standardize production, pushing customization off on the end-user. Blade-Tech was the leader in that technique. More money, less time, higher profit margins. Their holsters come in modular, assemble-yourself kits with all kinds of screws and funky attachment devices (e.g., Tek-Lok, ASR, Molle, and variants thereof). You need a mechanical engineering degree to put one together correctly. Dara is better but is moving in the direction of Blade-Tech. I prefer leather from Milt Sparks, Kramer, or Mitch Rosen except their prices are out-of-sight and their lead times are ridiculous. (Six months to a year, if they feel like it.) Most of the Kydex holsters I see on the market today are complicated, over-engineered junk. A great idea that I saw on an old Blade-Tech holster from the late 1990s was Kydex printed with a denim pattern. It would almost disappear against a pair of jeans. I have not seen another manufacturer with a denim-colored holster since. Overall, I am unhappy with most offerings available and have no interest in switching to appendix carry, so my options are limited.
I should add to my earlier comment that I have discovered JM Custom Kydex based down in Texas. Their holsters are similar to the old Blade-Tech holsters from the turn of the century that I liked so much. I am very fond of JM Custom Kydex products and encourage you to take a look. And I stand by my earlier comment that a holster in blue jean color is a great idea, whether IWB or OWB.
Have found Galco King Tuk IWB to be comfortable and surprisingly effective at holding the grip in close to avoid printing. Seems to be a nearly identical product to the Crossbreed Supertuck. I've got 3 different King Tuks at the moment: G20, G17/19/26/etc, 1911.
None of those holsters are worn by veteran shooters
So which ones are?
It's not very helpful to criticize other's ideas if you don't offer better ones.
I recently bought a G19 intending to get a concealed carry permit. In doing research, I've found there's many brands and styles of holster, and many more opinions about them.
