About Glock 19 Gen 6
Glock 19 Gen 6 Holster
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST HOLSTER FOR YOUR GLOCK 19 GEN 6
The Glock 19 has long been considered the benchmark compact pistol. The Gen 6 continues that legacy with the familiar 4-inch class barrel, compact slide length, and 15-round capacity that makes it suitable for both concealed carry and duty-style use. It is large enough to shoot comfortably and small enough to conceal effectively, which is why holster selection matters more than with extreme micro-compacts or full-size duty pistols.
A proper Glock 19 Gen 6 holster must provide full trigger guard coverage, stable belt attachment, and clean molding around the slide and frame. Because the Glock 19 is commonly used for both defensive carry and training, the holster should balance comfort with draw consistency. If you are running an optic or weapon light, the holster must be designed specifically for that configuration.
BEST GLOCK 19 GEN 6 IWB HOLSTER
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89
Inside-the-waistband carry is the most common setup for a Glock 19 Gen 6. The Leather IWB Holster with Steel Clip keeps the pistol tight against the body and prevents outward grip tilt, which is the main cause of printing with compact double-stack pistols.
The reinforced thumb break strap enhances retention while maintaining a predictable draw once practiced. The steel clip allows easy attachment and removal without removing your belt. For a pistol in the 23–24 ounce range unloaded, stability and clip strength are critical for daily comfort.
BEST GLOCK 19 GEN 6 OWB HOLSTER
Open Top Belt Holster – $89
The Glock 19 Gen 6 carries exceptionally well in OWB format. The Open Top Leather Belt Holster uses a pancake-style design that pulls the firearm close to the body while preserving a fast and natural draw.
Because the Glock 19 sits between compact and duty size, OWB often provides the best combination of comfort and accessibility. Under a jacket or overshirt, it conceals effectively while remaining comfortable for extended wear and training sessions.
BEST GLOCK 19 GEN 6 SHOULDER HOLSTER
Leather Shoulder Holster System – $215
For colder weather, long drives, or professional settings where waistband access is limited, a shoulder rig offers a practical alternative. The Leather Shoulder Holster System distributes the pistol’s weight across both shoulders and includes a double magazine carrier to balance the load.
The horizontal orientation keeps the Glock 19 flat against the body and accessible when seated. For users who spend significant time in vehicles, shoulder carry can provide more consistent access than traditional waistband setups.
CARRY OPTIONS FOR GLOCK 19 GEN 6 HOLSTERS
CONCEALED CARRY
The Glock 19 Gen 6 is widely regarded as one of the easiest double-stack pistols to conceal. Its compact slide length and balanced grip height allow discreet carry with proper holster cant and ride height. Stability is more important than raw size when it comes to printing.
IWB HOLSTERS
IWB holsters provide the best concealment for everyday carry. Adjustable cant, reinforced mouth construction, and solid belt attachment ensure the pistol remains stable during movement. The 4-inch class slide length supports comfortable appendix or strong-side carry for most body types.
OWB HOLSTERS
OWB holsters prioritize comfort and faster draw mechanics. The Glock 19’s size makes it especially suitable for OWB under outerwear. For range training and structured practice, OWB often feels more natural and repeatable.
SHOULDER HOLSTERS
Shoulder holsters distribute weight across the upper body and keep the pistol accessible while seated. This configuration works well for colder seasons or extended vehicle use.
PADDLE HOLSTERS
Paddle holsters allow quick attachment and removal without threading belt loops. They are convenient for range sessions or transitional carry setups. For all-day concealed carry, belt-loop systems typically provide more stability.
MATERIAL OPTIONS FOR GLOCK 19 GEN 6 HOLSTERS
GLOCK 19 GEN 6 LEATHER HOLSTERS
Leather holsters mold to the pistol over time and improve comfort with daily wear. They provide a balance of retention and flexibility while remaining comfortable against the body.
GLOCK 19 GEN 6 KYDEX HOLSTERS
Kydex offers rigid structure and consistent retention. It is particularly popular for optic-ready Glock 19 configurations and for users who prioritize fast reholstering.
GLOCK 19 GEN 6 NYLON HOLSTERS
Nylon holsters are lightweight and affordable. They offer comfort but generally provide less structured retention compared to molded leather or Kydex designs.
SUMMARY
The Glock 19 Gen 6 is one of the most versatile compact pistols available, and the best holster depends on how you carry. IWB is ideal for discreet daily use. OWB offers comfort and consistent training performance. Shoulder systems distribute weight effectively for seated environments.
A holster molded specifically for the Glock 19 Gen 6 ensures secure retention, stable carry, and consistent draw mechanics whether used for concealed carry, training, or professional applications.
