About Glock 45 Gen 6
Glock 45 Gen 6 Holster
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST HOLSTER FOR YOUR GLOCK 45 GEN 6
The Glock 45 Gen 6 combines a compact-length slide with a full-size frame, effectively blending the Glock 19 slide profile with the Glock 17 grip length. This gives you a shorter slide for carry comfort while maintaining full-capacity control and a complete firing grip. Because of that full-size grip, holster choice becomes critical for concealment and stability.
A proper Glock 45 Gen 6 holster must control the longer grip, which is typically the first part to print under clothing. The holster must sit tight to the body, offer strong belt attachment, and provide full trigger guard coverage. If your Glock 45 Gen 6 is optic-ready or equipped with a light, the holster must be molded specifically for that configuration to maintain secure retention and safe reholstering.
BEST GLOCK 45 GEN 6 IWB HOLSTER
Leather IWB Holster with Steel Clip – $89
A Glock 45 Gen 6 IWB holster is the most practical solution for concealed carry. The Leather IWB Holster with Steel Clip keeps the pistol close to the body and helps control grip tilt, which is essential with a full-size frame. The reinforced thumb break strap increases retention and durability while preserving a clean draw once trained.
The steel clip allows easy attachment and removal without unthreading the belt. Because the Glock 45 Gen 6 carries the weight and height of a duty-size frame, strong clip retention and proper cant adjustment are important for daily comfort and concealment.
BEST GLOCK 45 GEN 6 OWB HOLSTER
Open Top Leather Belt Holster – $89
A Glock 45 Gen 6 OWB holster offers excellent balance between comfort and accessibility. The Open Top Leather Belt Holster uses a pancake-style construction that pulls the pistol close to the body while maintaining fast access. The shorter slide length of the Glock 45 helps reduce overall bulk compared to a full Glock 17.
For range training, professional use, or concealed carry under a jacket, OWB provides natural draw mechanics and consistent presentation. When paired with a proper gun belt, it distributes weight comfortably throughout the day.
BEST GLOCK 45 GEN 6 SHOULDER HOLSTER
Leather Shoulder Holster System – $215
A Glock 45 Gen 6 shoulder holster is a strong option for extended wear or seated environments. The Leather Shoulder Holster System distributes the weight across the shoulders instead of loading the waistband, which can improve comfort with a full-size grip pistol.
The horizontal carry orientation keeps the slide flat against the body and the included double magazine carrier balances the setup. For colder seasons or long drives, shoulder carry provides consistent access while reducing waistband pressure.
CARRY OPTIONS FOR GLOCK 45 GEN 6 HOLSTERS
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 CONCEALED CARRY HOLSTER
Concealed carry with the Glock 45 Gen 6 is realistic but requires attention to grip height. A properly molded holster that pulls the grip inward and offers adjustable cant helps minimize printing. Belt rigidity plays a major role in overall concealment performance.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 IWB HOLSTER
A Glock 45 Gen 6 IWB holster keeps the firearm discreet while maintaining strong retention. Because of the full-size frame, ride height and cant adjustment directly affect comfort. The compact slide length supports appendix carry for many body types while preserving control.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 OWB HOLSTER
A Glock 45 Gen 6 OWB holster prioritizes comfort and training efficiency. It allows faster access and a more natural draw stroke. Under outerwear, OWB remains a practical concealed carry option.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 SHOULDER HOLSTER
A Glock 45 Gen 6 shoulder holster distributes weight across the upper body and keeps the pistol accessible when seated. It is well suited for extended wear and layered clothing.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 PADDLE HOLSTER
A Glock 45 Gen 6 paddle holster allows quick attachment and removal without threading belt loops. It is useful for range sessions or transitional carry but typically provides less stability than belt-loop designs for all-day concealed carry.
MATERIAL OPTIONS FOR GLOCK 45 GEN 6 HOLSTERS
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 LEATHER HOLSTERS
Leather holsters mold to the pistol over time and improve comfort with regular use. For a full-size frame like the Glock 45 Gen 6, quality leather helps distribute pressure evenly and maintain secure retention.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 KYDEX HOLSTERS
Kydex holsters provide rigid structure and consistent retention. They are particularly useful for optic-ready or light-bearing Glock 45 configurations and allow smooth, repeatable reholstering.
GLOCK 45 GEN 6 NYLON HOLSTERS
Nylon holsters offer lightweight flexibility and affordability. While comfortable, they generally provide less precise retention compared to molded leather or Kydex options.
SUMMARY
The best Glock 45 Gen 6 holster depends on how you intend to carry a compact-slide, full-frame pistol. A Glock 45 Gen 6 IWB holster is ideal for concealed carry, while a Glock 45 Gen 6 OWB holster offers superior comfort and training efficiency. A Glock 45 Gen 6 shoulder holster distributes weight effectively for extended wear or seated environments.
Selecting a holster molded specifically for the Glock 45 Gen 6 ensures proper retention, stable carry, and consistent draw performance in both defensive and professional applications.
