What holsters are compatible with the Glock 22?

Holsters molded specifically for the full-size Glock 22 frame and .40 S&W barrel length ensure safe retention and comfort. Avoid using Glock 17 or 23 holsters, as even minor size differences affect performance.

Can I conceal carry a Glock 22 comfortably?

While the Glock 22’s full-size frame is larger than compact models, hybrid IWB holsters with padded backers and adjustable cant make concealed carry viable, especially for those with longer torsos or loose outerwear.

What is the best OWB holster for the Glock 22?

A paddle holster or belt slide holster provides fast access and solid retention. For professional use, the Rapid Force Level 2 retention holster offers superior security with a thumb-release mechanism and duty-ready mounting options.

Do Glock 22 holsters support lights or lasers?

Yes, light-bearing holsters built for the Glock 22 accommodate popular tactical lights such as the Streamlight TLR-1 or SureFire X300. Always check compatibility when selecting a holster for a weapon-mounted accessory.

Are there Level 2 or Level 3 holsters for the Glock 22?

Absolutely. Level 2 retention holsters with locking mechanisms are ideal for law enforcement. Alien Gear’s Rapid Force line provides both Level 2 and Level 3 options tailored to Glock 22 specs, including compatibility with duty belts and tactical gear.

Is the Glock 22 suitable for appendix carry?

While larger than compact pistols, appendix carry is possible with a properly designed AIWB holster. Look for holsters with concealment claws and ride-height adjustments to reduce printing and improve comfort.

Can I use a Glock 17 holster for a Glock 22?

No. Despite similar frame dimensions, the Glock 22’s slide and barrel differ slightly in width and internal geometry due to the .40 S&W caliber. Using a Glock 17 holster may result in poor fit or compromised retention.

Are there left-handed Glock 22 holsters available?

Yes. Holsters for left-handed Glock 22 users are available in both IWB and OWB formats. Many models also offer ambidextrous mounting or reversible belt clips for user convenience.

What features should I look for in a Glock 22 holster?

Key features include adjustable retention, sweat guard coverage, compatibility with optics or lights, and comfort backing (for IWB). If using it for duty, prioritize models with secure locking retention systems.

Can I use the same Glock 22 holster for range and concealed carry?

Yes—modular holster systems allow you to switch configurations from OWB to IWB without changing your shell. This flexibility supports both range performance and discreet EDC carry, all with consistent fit and retention.
