What is the best holster for a Glock 17?
The best Glock 17 holster offers secure retention, all-day comfort, and fast access. For concealed carry, a hybrid IWB holster with a breathable backer and adjustable ride height performs well. For duty or open carry, a Level 2 or Level 3 OWB holster with active retention enhances safety and draw speed.
What are the different types of Glock 17 holsters available?
Some Glock 17 holsters options include:
1. IWB Glock 17 holsters for concealed carry
2. OWB Glock 17 holsters for open carry or range use
3. Appendix carry (AIWB) holsters for front-of-body concealment
4. Glock 17 holsters with light for tactical setups
5. Level 2 and Level 3 retention holsters for duty and security roles
How do I choose a Glock 17 holster for everyday carry (EDC)?
Choose a holster that offers low printing, adjustable retention, and ergonomic fit. An IWB holster with a custom-molded shell and flexible backer makes concealed carry comfortable—even with the Glock 17’s full-size frame.
Are there holsters specifically designed for the Glock 17 Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5?
Yes. Alien Gear offers model-specific Glock 17 holsters for Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5, ensuring precise fit, proper trigger guard coverage, and reliable retention based on each generation’s slide and frame design.
What materials are commonly used in Glock 17 holsters, and which is best?
Polymer and hybrid materials dominate the market. The best holsters use a rigid outer shell for retention paired with a soft backer (like neoprene) for comfort—offering the perfect balance of structure and flexibility.
What’s the difference between a universal Glock holster and a model-specific Glock 17 holster?
Universal holsters may fit multiple models loosely, while a Glock 17 model-specific holster is molded for your exact firearm. This ensures secure retention, safer reholstering, and better draw consistency.
Are Glock 17 holsters available for left-handed shooters?
Yes. Quality Glock 17 holsters come in right-hand and left-hand configurations, including IWB, OWB, and AIWB styles, with the same level of adjustability and performance.
What are the benefits of using a Glock 17 OWB holster?
A Glock 17 OWB holster offers fast draw speed, enhanced comfort, and better airflow for range training, duty, or open carry. Pair it with a high-ride design and proper belt support for a stable carry platform.
Can you comfortably conceal carry a Glock 17?
Yes, with the right holster. A Glock 17 concealed carry holster with a slim profile, adjustable cant, and sweat-resistant backer allows effective concealment—even with a full-size pistol—under a cover garment or untucked shirt.
Are there level 2 or level 3 retention holsters for the Glock 17?
Yes. The Rapid Force Duty Holster series offers Level 2 and Level 3 active retention for the Glock 17, including models with light-bearing support, optics compatibility, and the Quick Disconnect System for modular carry setups.
