| Just wondering what the opinion of the factory plastic glock holster is. Anyone have any pics of how it rides, and/or conceals? Would you trust it? |

I have both size Glock combat holsters.
If you have a loose belt with a Glock holster, the combination will not work. I use them on my wilderness belt. The holsters don't move very much, and the draw has to be more of a "rip" from the holster. I have no problem presenting the firearm from this combination in about 1-1.5 seconds from an unzipped jacket at the 4 o'clock position. The holsters also ride fairly high, leaving nothing in the way of your draw/grip. there is a small catch/lock that engages the front of the trigger guard built in to the holster. I think i'd have no problem paying twice what Glock want's for these holsters, especially when carrying a gun all day long. (the less weight, the better sometimes.) |

The Glock factory holster are total crap. I tried to resell them for several months and did not even get a lowball offer. I ended up giving them away to Goodwill.  2 mods are needed. Take a razorknife or file and cut off the bump inside that engages the triggerguard. Then spray some silicone spray inside the holster and let it dry. If you do these 2 things, the holster will be slicker than snot. For $13, if you do the mods, I don't think you can beat it. It is extremely thin, CHEEP, and very fast the way I run it. I like to run a G23 on each side under a sweatshirt in the factory holsters. Very concealable, comfortable, and fast. |

In regard to the Glock factory holster, there seem to be to separate camps. Some hate it, some swear by it and carry in it. I haven't personally tried one yet, just may have to to see what all the fuss is about. I'll admit that after handling one, the loops seem somewhat thin/fragile, but I have seen reports from folks that they do last a long time. Gotta check this out one of these days. |

They're an OK holster. As mentioned above, if you have a stiff belt, they're decent and for $5-$7 they're a LOT better than a Fobus or Uncle Mike's holster.
I like Raven Concealment Systems, Comp-Tac CTAC or Blade Tech IWB but they're all significantly more expensive ($50-$75). Mike |
