How to choose the best holster for your Glock 22
Finding the right holster for your Glock 22 is about more than just the looks. It’s about how you carry, how often, and what kind of setup you’re running, what are your priorities and lifestyle. Whether you’ve got a Glock 22 Gen 4, a Gen 5, or a standard model, your holster should give you solid retention and fast access when it counts. If you’re in law enforcement, a Glock 22 duty holster or a Glock 22 Gen 5 duty holster is built to keep up with the demands of the job. For everyday carry, lighter options like a Glock 22 appendix holster or paddle holster might feel more natural. Running a weapon light? You’ll want a holster for Glock 22 with light or a Glock 22 holster with light and laser that’s molded to fit your setup without compromise.
Best Glock 22 IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Glock 22.

It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Glock 22 OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Glock 22 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Glock 22 Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Glock 22. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety.

As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Glock 22 holsters
Concealed Carry
Carrying a full-size handgun like the Glock 22 can be done, it just takes the right setup. A Glock 22 concealed carry holster should hug close, stay put, and let you go about your day without noticing it’s there until you need it. Adjustability is key, especially if you change positions a lot or wear different clothing.
IWB Holsters
A Glock 22 IWB holster slips inside your waistband, helping keep everything discreet and low-profile. It’s a solid everyday choice for people who want to stay under the radar. Look for one with a sweat guard and adjustable retention. And if your Glock’s got a light attached, a Glock 22 Gen 5 holster with light will give you the fit and function you need.
OWB Holsters
Prefer to carry outside the waistband? A Glock 22 holster OWB style gives you quicker access and is usually more comfortable, especially if you’re on your feet all day. It pairs well with a jacket or longer shirt and is a favorite for range use. For that added peace of mind, especially with a Glock 22 40 caliber holster setup, snug retention and solid construction are musts.
Shoulder Holsters
A Glock 22 shoulder holster spreads the weight out and takes pressure off your waistband. It’s great if you spend time sitting, driving, or just don’t like anything around your hips. Worn under a jacket, it keeps your gun easy to reach without drawing attention.
Holsters with Light
Adding a light changes the game. You’ll want a Glock 22 holster with light, or more specifically, a Glock 22 with light holster, that’s molded for your setup. The right one will hold everything snugly, keep the trigger protected, and still let you draw quickly when needed.
Duty holsters
A Glock 22 duty holster is designed for real-world demands. Whether you're in uniform or just need something rock-solid, go for level II or III retention and heavy-duty materials. The Glock 22 Gen 5 duty holster is especially dialed in for the newer frame dimensions and accessories.
chest holsters
If you’re trekking through the backcountry or working outdoors, a Glock 22 chest holster gets the gun off your waist and into a quick-access spot. It’s practical, out of the way, and ideal when you’re wearing backpacks or gear belts.
drop leg holsters
A Glock 22 drop leg holster places your firearm lower on the thigh, giving you fast access and freeing up your waistline. Whether it’s for tactical training or just personal preference, this setup works especially well with full gear.
paddle holsters
Sometimes you just want to slide your holster on and go. That’s where a Glock 22 paddle holster shines. It’s convenient, easy to wear, and doesn’t need to loop through your belt. Great for range sessions or anyone who values quick setup and removal.
appendix holsters
Appendix carry is all about speed and concealment. A Glock 22 appendix holster rides up front, keeping your firearm accessible and tucked in. Look for something slim and padded—comfort matters when you’re carrying all day.
