Collection: Glock 19X

What makes the Glock 19X unique, and how does it affect holster fitment?

The Glock 19X pairs a full-size Glock 17 frame with a Glock 19 slide, creating a crossover pistol with a longer grip. Holsters must be molded specifically for this hybrid frame to ensure secure retention and proper slide fit. Alien Gear offers shell designs tailored to the 19X’s full-length grip and compact barrel profile for precise fit and safe carry.

Do you offer holsters for Glock 19X with a TLR-7A or Nightstick TCM-550XL?

Yes. Several holsters in this collection are designed to fit Glock 19X models equipped with lights like the Streamlight TLR-7A or Nightstick TCM-550XL or TCM-550XLS. Check the product page to confirm compatibility before purchase.

What are the best holster types for the Glock 19X?

For concealed carry, the Cloak Tuck 3.5 and ShapeShift IWB holsters are ideal for the G19X’s compact slide. For open carry or tactical use, the Rapid Force Duty Holster with Level 2 or 3 retention is purpose-built for law enforcement and security. You can also choose paddle, belt slide, or appendix carry styles depending on your needs.

Is the Glock 19X suitable for appendix carry (AIWB)?

Yes, but its full-size grip may print more than standard compact models. A low-profile appendix carry holster with a concealment claw and adjustable cant—such as Alien Gear’s Low-Pro AIWB or ShapeShift Appendix Holster—improves concealment and comfort.

What’s the best way to carry a Glock 19X concealed?

Inside-the-waistband (IWB) or appendix carry holsters offer the most effective concealment for the 19X. Adjustable ride height and cant allow deeper concealment despite the longer grip.

What retention levels are available for Glock 19X holsters?

Alien Gear offers Level 1 passive retention holsters, Level 2 with thumb-release, and full Level 3 duty holsters with a locking hood system. Whether you're carrying off-duty, on patrol, or for concealed EDC, there’s a retention level that matches your environment and risk level.

Can Glock 19X holsters be worn with a battle belt or duty belt?

Yes. Rapid Force duty holsters for the Glock 19X are compatible with standard law enforcement duty belts, MOLLE gear, and drop-leg platforms using the Quick Disconnect System (QDS). These setups ensure secure carry for tactical operations or uniformed use.

Do these Glock 19x holsters support left-handed users?

Yes. Most Glock 19x holsters are available in both right-hand and left-hand draw configurations. Check the product options to select the correct hand orientation.

What is the most comfortable Glock 19X holster for daily concealed carry?

The Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB holster offers CoolVent™ neoprene backing, adjustable ride height, and cant for all-day comfort. Its wide base distributes weight evenly, minimizing hotspots for a more balanced, concealed carry experience

Can I use one holster shell for multiple Glock models including the 19X?

Yes, with the modular ShapeShift system. You can swap shells and carry platforms to fit compatible Glock models, including the G19X, using the same core carry setup. This reduces cost and increases flexibility for Glock owners with multiple pistols.

Built to Fit the Glock 19X—Slide Precision, Grip Coverage, and Carry Versatility

The Glock 19X combines the compact slide of the Glock 19 with the full-size grip of the Glock 17, creating a platform that balances fast follow-up shots with a higher-capacity magazine. This unique hybrid design offers both benefits and challenges for holster selection.

The holsters in this collection are molded specifically for the Glock 19X, ensuring proper slide coverage, trigger guard protection, and retention for standard and light-bearing setups.

Molded for the Glock 19X’s Slide and Frame Geometry

Unlike many compact models, the Glock 19X features a full-size grip and a slightly flared magazine well. Standard Glock 19 holsters may not always provide the full frame coverage needed for reliable retention and reholstering. Our holsters are built around the full-length grip dimensions and the compact-length slide to ensure complete compatibility across all supported carry positions.

Options for Light-Bearing Glock 19X Setups

If your Glock 19X is configured with a light—such as the Streamlight TLR-7A, Nightstick TCM-550XL, or TCM-550XLS—you’ll find molded holsters that support those setups without compromising trigger coverage or retention. These holsters accommodate the added profile of the weapon light while maintaining consistent draw angles and shell rigidity.

Optimized for Concealed Carry and Duty Applications

Whether you’re carrying the Glock 19X as a concealed handgun or as a duty sidearm, the holsters in this collection offer multiple mounting and ride-height options. IWB models provide low-profile concealment even with the longer grip, while OWB and duty setups provide quick access for training, uniformed use, or range work. Each holster maintains consistent draw feel and firearm stability under daily use.

Retention Tuned for the Glock 19X’s Weight and Length

Because the 19X has a slightly heavier frame due to its full-size grip and higher-capacity magazine, holsters for this model offer adjustable passive retention.

This lets you customize the draw tension depending on your preferred draw angle, carry location, and activity level. Whether you carry appendix, OWB, or IWB, adjustable retention ensures confident holster security without sacrificing draw speed.

Comfort-Driven Materials and Configurations

Comfort matters when carrying a hybrid-frame pistol like the Glock 19X. Our holsters use premium materials like flexible polymer shells, breathable backers, and smooth edge finishes that reduce hotspots during extended wear. Holster systems like the ShapeShift, Cloak series, and Low-Pro designs offer options for casual concealment, tactical application, or minimalist carry depending on your environment and use case.

Multiple Carry Styles for a Single Platform

This collection includes holsters that support IWB (inside-the-waistband), OWB (outside-the-waistband), appendix carry, chest-mounted setups, and hook-and-loop systems for off-body or vehicle use. Each style is molded for retention and tested to match the Glock 19X’s specific slide and frame dimensions, including models with mounted accessories.

Whether you're running a Glock 19X with a weapon light, setting up for concealed carry, or need a reliable OWB platform for range use, this holster collection provides real-world solutions that match the Glock 19X’s hybrid design. Built for comfort, retention, and compatibility—no matter how you carry.
