G19 holster options

[DunRanull]

In spite of my general dislike of Plastic Phantastic pistols, I recently purchased a new Glock 19 gen5 as #1 9mm carry piece, retiring my BHP and other assorted 9mms to the safe... I retired my Combat Commander several years ago for a gen3 G21... Anyway, I'm using a generic Uncle Mike's holster for the G19 and want to get something better. Inside and/or outside waistband, looking for options. Preferably one which will cover the trigger area. All suggestions and ideas appreciated! Thanks, Dun

I carry my 23 (same size frame, bigger boolits) in a Blackhawk Serpa CQC. Been using that holster for 15 years and have had 0 issues with it. I've used it at IDPA matches and Defensive pistol matches that whole time and also as my EDC. 10's of thousands of rounds.
I know a lot of folks complain about having to push the button and that it creates a safety hazard. If you draw your firearm correctly, keeping your index finger straight, then the gun comes out with your finger indexed along side the frame, where it should be.
If you are someone that curls your finger into the trigger guard before completing your draw then this is not the holster for you.
(And I probably don't want to share a range with you!)

Basically almost any of them will be better that what you are using. Cost? How much do you want to spend? You can get very nice holsters (at least to me nice) for less than $50, or you can spend several hundred. Many good Kydex to choose from in the low end. Most if they are made for your pistol will hold it well, even feel a "click" when you put the pistol in it. I tend to prefer open top as I am not worried about a grab. Like the We the People holsters a lot. Before they came along bought a few from Fobus that all worked great for low end. If you want more security you can get some that have thumb break and even more security if you wish. Some are so "secure" you see video of people having a VERY hard time getting the pistol out in a stress situation. One thing about CC. A LOT of us who do it for a while end up with a box containing working holsters we just no longer use. So if you are not sure Ebay tends to be a good place to look for name brand used ones that are great. Any holster made for your pistol is going to cover the trigger. So its just a matter of which way you want to carry and at what position. Also really helps to have a decent belt.

Galco "King Tuck" is a decent IWB option, you can tuck your shirt in or leave it tails out.

Crossbreed makes top-shelf holsters.

The G19 arguably has the most holster options from the most holster companies than any other handgun.

 

[Pepiot]

Vedder Light tuck.

[Dirty-30_lever]

I'll second the Safariland, I like the ALS owb model.

 

[titsonritz]

My favorite G19 holsters:

IWB - Kramer #3 Horsehide
CCW OWB - Raven Phantom (can also be converted to IWB)
Overt OWB - Safariland 6390

I won't go into AIWB since you didn't ask.

 

[titsonritz]

Preferably one which will cover the trigger area.

With a Glock (and other striker-fired guns) that is a must regardless of which holster you choose.

ETA: Forgot to ask, is your G19 optic ready or do plan on having it cut? It would make a difference in holster selection.

 

[titsonritz]

The G19 arguably has the most holster options from the most holster companies than any other handgun.

Yeah, if you can't find a G19 holster you like you're not looking very hard.

 

[wltjd221]

OWB - Safariland Level 3 locking system
IWB - tenicore
From my experience, when a lot of people recommend same product/ brand, usually there is good reasons behind it. But YMMV.

 

[Member 66129]

JM Custom Kydex will always be my recommendation for an IWB holster.

Dara holsters, best for competition and quick draw.
Blackhawk serpa also good
Best bang for the buck is Bravo concealment and they have a great deal, buy 1 get 2nd half off,
so you can get one for IWB and one OWB and they have REALLY good retention.
YOU could do flips like that FBI agent did on the dance floor and NOT shoot someone.
