EDC holsters for Glock 19 and Shield 9mm

[Justin727]

Hey guys. I am looking for suggestions on holsters for my Glock 19 and my Shield 9mm. I am 5'11" and 160lbs so concealing a Glock 19 can be difficult at times.

Currently I have a OWB Kydex holster from Reaper Tactical for my Shield. I have a leather OWB by Tagua for my G19 as well as a kydex OWB made by Sharktac for my G19 with the Surefire x300 attached.

I am open to all configurations of carry. Just keep in mind my build.

Thanks for the help guys!

I use an IWB Reaper for my glock at 4 o'clock. Depending on what you're wearing, I don't have too much problem concealing mine.

I have this ALIENGEAR: Glock - 19 IWB Holster (Inside the Waistband) for my G19. Great holster at a great price and it does double duty for a G26. I am 6-1 and 185# and the thing disappears on me.

I also run my 19 with the x300 attached in a raven concealment holster at around 4 o'clock. If I have a glock 17 magazine in the gun it prints more so I've left that as a reload.

I have also decided to try appendix carry after reading some articles and watching some videos by Rob Pincus. I'm waiting on a crossbreed belly band for that right now.

Also interested in the suggestions that are posted to the op. Primarily an owb carrier. Currently use comp tac and it fits ok. I am looking for something that has a little higher rise and a little closer to body.

 

[Justin727]

Like you, poppy, I have always been an OWB carrier. BUT I have also never worn a good IWB holster.

I have and like a Hidden Hybrid Holster for my shield and wear it at 3 o'clock, IWB. I used to wear at 4 o'clock, but was uncomfortalbe sitting/getting in & out cars, etc. THe shield is thin enough and the holster in comfortable enough that I really like 3 o'clock carry now.

well from what I hear it doesn't matter what build you are, the Crossbreed Supertuck is the way to go! I have one for my G19 I love it! It is so comfortable that i find myself checking for my gun because I forget that it is there! I wear all day in all activities. I was just helping a friend move this weekend and a few weekends before and never once did I feel desire to take it off due to discomfort! I have also played basketball with it on and was not worried at all with it coming out. Just so you know I am 5'10" and about 230lbs but I don't think it will be any different for you!

Thanks for the feedback guys! I wish there was a place around here that stocked these holsters.

Comp-tac Mtac or spartan. I was not impressed by the alien gear holster I saw. Go with a Crossbreed or Comp-Tac

N82 Tactical

If you're looking to try IWB, I would recommend any of the options from N82 Tactical.

I have the original tuckable for my Glock 19 and it's the most comfortable holster I own.

The bonus is that I can use it for multiple compact pistols since it's a flex type sleeve and not hard kydex that's specific to one model.

I love my IWB holster for my shield from Shark Tac.

I have a G19 and a Shield 9. I liked the Crossbreed Supertuck for my G19 so much that I bought another one for my Shield 9. I also use a Remora for to and from work where I can't carry. I don't have a lot of experience with different holsters but this setup works for me.

The G19 is all day comfortable in the Supertuck although I do prefer the combat cut and the Gen4 grip may annoy you. The Shield in the Supertuck, however, is awesome.

The Remora holsters work a treat for my intended purpose. I would like to try a pj holster or Cooks iwb for no other reason than ease of on and off.

Good luck!

You haven't tried a good IWB holster until you try a Comp-TAC MTAC.

Comp-tac Mtac or spartan. I was not impressed by the alien gear holster I saw. Go with a Crossbreed or Comp-Tac

...i feel like half of my posts have been suggesting/agreeing that the MTAC is the way to go. Now all we need is chezuki to show up and chime in



OP, take a look at the MTAC...it will cost you more than most holsters, but ive found that with holsters (like almost everything else) you get what you pay for...buy once, cry once

FWIW I carry a Glock 22 in mine all day everyday...Im 6'-5" and around 215 and it is completely hidden under a button up shirt. It prints a bit in a tshirt, but i think that is just the full size frame just trying to convince me to OC

Since you're not far from Bloomington and want something quality that you can get locally, check out Henry Holsters in the Bloomington area (PM amhenry on INGO). He makes awesome kydex holsters for the G19 and the Shield that are a minimalist design that increases concealability (including appendix holsters). He's added some sweet features to his holsters recently, such as a "concealment kick" that causes the gun to ride closer to the body. I wear my Shield in one of the appendix holsters a lot and it works great. He also makes nice IWB hybrids that have full kydex on both sides of the gun with a leather backing or can do just kydex IWB. I have also carried my Shield in one of his kydex IWBs (non appendix) and it conceals very well even under pretty tight t-shirts (I'm 6'2" 190). I carry my full size M&P9 in one of his hybrid holsters at 4 oclock. Super high quality stuff. Check out his website here for pics. Henry Holsters | Durable. Practical. Comfortable. or his FB page https://www.facebook.com/HenryHolsters He carries G17 with a grip chopped to G19 size, so a lot of the pics would give you a sense of how your G19 would look/fit in the holsters.

My pager just went off, does someone need schooled on the MTAC?

I have a Tagua IWB for my Shield. Very nice. Also I just bought a BlkHwk OWB for it.
