snap-on OWB holster for G19
9/27/2011 8:30:59 PM
I'm looking for a snap-on pancake style outside-the-waistband leather holster for my Glock 19. I am wanting something that provides full barrel coverage (open muzzle is fine). The best I have found so far is the "Reserve - Model TRC" from Kirkpatrick Leather Company. I need something that I don't have to undo my belt for that will conceal as good as possible. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks!

I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the Galco Matrix MX-7, but it doesn't fit your 'full barrel cover' criteria. I can snap some pics though if you'd like to consider it.
I'm using it with a Glock 26. Not sure I'd be as happy with it for a longer barreled weapon.

I have a Mitch Rosen model for my G19 that I use and like a lot. With my CompTac gun belt it works very well and conceals decently under a loose, dark polo shirt.

A clerk at the gun shop was wearing one of those and besides the open barrel design, I REALLY liked it. I will be using this when I drive and since I carry strong side I'm worried about an open barreled holster allowing the barrel/slide to get jammed up into the seat-belt mechanism (I drive a compact car so I don't have very much cabin room). How does it work for you when car carrying?

I've had no problems, but I'm left handed so my experience doesn't really translate. I'll try it with a 19 in the passenger seat tonight to see how bed it is with the seatbelt hardware.

Thanks! So the "Georgia Snap" is the model I would be looking at then. I've never heard of this company before, how do they compare to Galco or any of the other popular brands?

Rgrizzle is much nicer than any of the mass produced stuff IMO, and I think most would agree with that. The leather is twice as thick and will outlast you more than likely. Good Luck!!

MD, I apologize for being tardy - when I sit on the passenger side with the Galco / 19 worn on the left, there's at least three fingers of space between the weapon and the seatbelt buckle assembly.

Exact holster I was going to suggest... Best OWB leather I've tried.

Lou's daughter is keeping the biz running. Looks like turnaround time has even improved. I got a CQC/S for my USPc about 2 weeks before Lou passed, one of the last holsters he made.
