How to choose the best holster for your Glock 47
Choosing the right holster for Glock 47 ensures secure retention, smooth draw performance, and all-day comfort for both duty and concealed carry use. Our selection includes IWB, OWB, paddle, duty, and light-bearing options, each custom-molded for a perfect fit on the G47’s full-size frame. Whether you're a professional user or an everyday carrier, you can easily find the best Glock 47 holster to match your preferred style, accessories, and carry environment.
Best Glock 47 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 47. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. 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 47 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 47 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Glock 47 Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Glock 47. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. 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 47 holsters
Concealed Carry
Concealing a full-size handgun like the Glock 47 requires a thoughtfully designed holster. The right Glock 47 concealed carry holster balances comfort with concealability while offering reliable retention and quick access.
IWB Holsters
IWB Glock 47 holsters offer the most discreet way to carry your pistol out there. A Glock 47 holster worn inside the waistband keeps the firearm close to your body, making concealment easier even with a full-size frame. Look for designs with adjustable cant and ride height to personalize the draw angle and concealment level.
OWB Holsters
OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters provide excellent comfort and faster draw speed. A Glock 47 holster OWB is ideal to mount a light, as it can have enough room on the outside of your body. While OWB isn't always ideal for deep concealment, it's a top pick for range use and open carry with added stability.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters offer a balanced carry solution for those who spend extended periods seated or driving. A Glock 47 holster in a shoulder rig distributes weight evenly across the shoulders, making it suitable for professionals or those carrying for long hours.
Duty Holsters
For law enforcement and security professionals, a Glock 47 duty holster must prioritize retention, durability, and accessibility. Many models feature level 2 or level 3 retention systems to ensure the firearm stays secure in high-pressure situations. Built from rugged materials for demanding environments, these holsters are often compatible with weapon lights and red dot optics, giving officers a reliable setup for duty use.
Drop Leg Holsters
A Glock 47 drop leg holster places the firearm on your thigh for faster access and reduced interference with body armor or outerwear. Often used in tactical or training environments, this setup provides stability and supports light-bearing and optic-ready configurations.
Paddle Holsters
A Glock 47 paddle holster offers quick on-and-off convenience without sacrificing stability or retention. Its contoured paddle design anchors securely inside the waistband or on the belt line, while the custom molding ensures a precise fit for the G47’s full-size frame. It’s an ideal option for range use, plainclothes carry, or anyone who needs a secure holster that’s easy to remove throughout the day.
Holsters with Light
A Glock 47 holster with light should support your exact light model and allow smooth reholstering. Light-compatible holsters often feature open-bottom designs and adjustable retention to accommodate different configurations while ensuring a secure fit.
Holsters with Light and Red Dot
Carrying a Glock 47 setup with both a weapon light and red dot requires specialized fitting. A Glock 47 holster with light and red dot must offer enough clearance and secure retention for both attachments. Opt for models that accommodate popular light brands and RMR-style optics.
Holsters with Red Dot
A Glock 47 red dot holster is built with an optic-cut profile that accommodates popular RDS setups without affecting retention or draw speed. These holsters feature reinforced sight channels and a precise mold around the G47’s full-size frame, ensuring your optic stays protected while maintaining smooth, consistent access during daily carry or range work.
Material Options for Glock 47 Holsters
Glock 47 Leather Holsters
A leather holster combines traditional craftsmanship with reliable performance. It ensures a smooth, silent draw and all-day carrying comfort.
Glock 47 Kydex Holsters
Lightweight yet tough, Kydex holsters deliver dependable performance and easy reholstering. Their minimalist profile also makes them ideal for concealed carry.
Glock 47 Nylon Holsters
These holsters are versatile, budget-friendly, and compatible with many firearm types. Nylon is especially suited for light carry or as a backup holster option.

Will a Glock 47 fit in a 17 holster?
Yes, in most cases a Glock 47 will fit in a Glock 17 holster. The G47 shares the same slide length and external dimensions as the G17, so any holster molded for a G17 should also accommodate a G47 unless the holster is extremely tight-molded or has special cuts that don’t match your setup (e.g., light-bearing, RDS, comp).
Will a Glock 47 fit in a Glock 19 holster?
No, a Glock 47 will not fit in a Glock 19 holster. The G47 is a full-size pistol with a longer slide and larger overall dimensions, so it will extend past the end of a G19 holster and will not seat or retain properly.
Summary
Finding the right holster for the G47 comes down to balancing retention, comfort, and accessory support. Our lineup includes IWB, OWB, paddle, duty, and light-bearing designs, all molded for a precise and secure fit. With broad Glock 47 holster compatibility across red-dot setups, weapon lights, and left- or right-hand configurations, it’s easy to choose a holster that matches your exact carry style and daily needs.
