Best holster for Glock 19?
Can you recommend a good holster for a G19? I'd like to wear outside my pants at four o'clock. Thanks.

The Fobus is OK, but I prefer the Blade-Tech (the $20 one) for comfort and speed. I've used both holsters for carry and IDPA. The B-T gets my vote. I carry my G19 in one every day.
NOTE: Both holsters have too much plastic at the bottom rear. There's no good reason to have all that stuff sticking out and printing under your cover garment. I cut the bottom 1" off both holsters and am very happy with the result. I mentioned this to a Fobus rep at the S.H.O.T. Show and he pointed to a new holster they just introduced that's trimmed just right. Only problem is the dumb-looking "Fobus" logo on the side. A minor point, I'll admit. I've found paddle holsters to be much more comfortable than belt holsters and much, much easier to get on and off. John Cape Canaveral |

Blackhawk Serpa
Nicest "low drag" retention available.

Depends on your personal preference and intended uses...
I have a Galco Leather Belt holster that I use for my G19.

I've owned a number of fobus holsters and I believe the only thing they have going for them is that they are dirt cheap. Try a comp-tac holster....although you'll spend more, you'll find that its well worth it.

Like the Sidearmor for Kydex...can't beat a Mitch Rosen or El Paso for a High Ride when it comes to leather.

Bianchi Snaplok or Paddlelok are very nice, and also with positive retention.

Granted I don't carry except for IDPA, but I REALLY like the cheap Blade-Tech. However, I'm looking at Comp-Tac for an IWB holster for when my CCW comes through. |

LEATHER. Take a look at all that Galco or Bianchi has to offer. Personally, I carry in a Galco Fletch and its a fine holster at a fine price. You cannot go wrong with a quality leather holster and I certainly recommend any thing from either maker listed above. Although there are many supports of the "plastic" holsters, to me, nothing holds and works better than a nice leather holster. Leather is more expensive but worth it. Don't get confused on price vs. value. Price is what you pay and value is what you get. I think long term there is a lot of value in leather holsters.

Safariland 6377 (belt) or 6378 (paddle) are really nice if you're looking for an active retention holster.

Another fan of the Blade-Tech holsters, have one of their IWB on right now.
