Collection: Glock 19 Appendix Carry Holsters

The Glock 19’s compact frame and balanced weight make it an excellent candidate for appendix carry. Its shorter barrel reduces printing and improves comfort when seated, especially when paired with a purpose-built AIWB holster like the ShapeShift or Photon.

Alien Gear’s ShapeShift Appendix Holster offers a customizable fit with adjustable retention, while the Photon Holster provides a sleek, low-profile design ideal for EDC. Both support a safe, close-to-body appendix draw.

Yes. The Photon Holster is engineered for AIWB use, with a slim footprint and passive Level 1 retention. It’s a great choice for carriers looking for a minimalist Glock 19 appendix holster that doesn’t sacrifice safety or speed.

Absolutely. With a holster that features breathable backers, adjustable cant, and low-profile clips—like the ShapeShift Appendix Holster—many users report all-day comfort and reduced printing.

The Photon Holster supports optics-ready Glock 19 models, including those equipped with red dots. This ensures clean clearance during the draw and safe holstering for MOS variants.

Using a holster claw with the ShapeShift or Photon can improve concealment by pushing the grip closer to your body. Wedges or muzzle pads also help reduce printing and increase stability when sitting or bending.

Both the ShapeShift and Photon holsters feature adjustable passive retention that secures the firearm without compromising draw speed. Each holster locks onto the trigger guard for a consistent, repeatable draw.

Designed for AIWB comfort, the ShapeShift and Photon holsters maintain comfort and accessibility even when seated, thanks to slim profiles and rounded edges that minimize pressure against the abdomen.

A sturdy EDC belt with minimal flex—ideally 1.5 inches wide—helps keep your Glock 19 appendix holster secure and in position during daily activity. Holsters with tuckable clips or belt wings increase stability and concealment.
