IWB Kydex Holster Compatible with Glock 19 23 32 -The Paladin Series -Made in USA- GEN 5 Compatible

It’s sits like I want it too. But it rides too high, wish it could be lowered.

Hey everyone, probably like me looking through reviews trying to make a decision. Alright, simply put, I think it’s a great starter holster.I’m new to CC, I spent two weeks trying to figure my holster decision out. I decided on this one, because it’s wasn’t too cheap or too expensive. And I for now, I don’t regret my decision. I appendix carry, with this holster I wish I could lower the gun more, nonetheless it’s comfortable for me. I’m 6’1, 170, and it conceals well for me depending on my shirt. No shmediums, yea you know who you are…The only thing I had difficulty with is to put the clip screws back in. I took one screw out to see if I could put a tilt to my holster, but I soon realized I couldn’t. I wasn’t thinking properly, and when that screw comes out, the ring between the holster and clip decompresses. Sucker was HARD to get back on.All in all, that minor thing that really was my fault, is the only negative issue I have so far. I will not let that effect my review, because it was my fault that happened. So, 5 starts from me, and will update if something actually faulty with the holster happens, IF something happens. Thank y’all for the time. Hope you enjoy.

I purchased this for a Glock 45 Gen 5. A G45 is essentially a G19 slide on a G17 frame. I was looking for a holster with the foot/claw to help hide the extra grip length on this gun model. I carry at 3-4 o’clock and I am 140 lbs and 6’0”, so you can imagine I have issues with CC and full size handguns.This holster seemed to fit the bill. Upon receipt I immediately changed the stand-off to the smaller of the two. I feel that the larger one would be more suitable for appendix carry. I adjusted the retention to my liking and put it into service. It takes some work to get the claw to fold behind the belt but I got figured it out. The claw does it’s job, the grip of the gun is tucked flat against my back.Day one: I definitely noticed the presence of the holster, but not in an uncomfortable way. The claw puts pressure against the body in a different way than a traditional holster.Day two: I figured out the best method to put the holster on and off with some practice. Carried for several hours seated in the truck and on a job site. No discomfort.Day three: I walked a lot with the holster on, varied terrain, no chaffing.Going on a week now: I no longer notice it. It’s become natural and part of my body. I can’t speak for the longevity yet, but it seems well made

Only holster I’ve found that can hide a Glock 19 appendix and be comfortable at the same time. I usually carry a Glock 43 with Taran Tactical +2 base plates just because it’s easy to conceal and I’ve yet to find a comfortable holster for a 19. I’ve always wished for more rounds in a carry option though. Especially in the current political and social climate we find ourselves in. I figured for the price I would give one more holster a shot. This one is a home run. I can carry all day sitting, standing, crouching or bending over in comfort. The retention is phenomenal. The claw keeps the grip close to my body so it doesn’t print in a T shirt. No more dressing out of season just to carry a Glock 19. If you wish to carry a 19 but haven’t found a comfortable holster I would definitely give this one a shot. With a good, sturdy belt that will hold the weight close and tight this one is a definite win. My only complaint is that there is lack of cant adjustment. There’s only two options for grip angle because the low ride holes make it impossible to get a firm grip on the weapon and draw clean. The grip will ride on your belt on the lowest holes. Under duress I wouldn’t wanna not get a firm grasp on my weapon if I made up my mind to draw. If they can figure out a way to keep the holster style and design and a 20 degree cant this holster would be the one to end all other holsters. It’s that good.

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars in holsters from well known companies and tried many different styles of carrying from appendix to side to back carry. I have three custom made kydex holsters that took 4 months to be made and ship, all costing well over 100 bucks. TAKE MY ADVICE... if you buy a holster that accommodates an extra magazine and a large light you will look cool on social media but you will not carry your gun long term. This is a fantastic and minimalistic option for people who are serious about carrying a gun every day, not just a poser on Instagram. That being said there are a few things I would change. The claw is great for concealability, but it’s not practical or ergonomic. The rough texture on it also tore up the inside of my jeans and my belt. It also made it more difficult to take the gun in and out of my waistband which is a minor inconvenience. When I opted to take off the claw and use the holster by itself I had to switch out the hardware with one of my other holsters because it would not get the proper retention I wanted without the claw. Lastly, instead of using 4 different holes to adjust the cant of the weapon, they need to make a cut in the holster and use different adjustable hardware so that this holster can be quickly changed for different carrying positions. There are so many other options that could be used nowadays but no kydex holster manufacturers take advantage of them. Other than that I love it and will be carrying/testing this holster for the next few months.

Been using this holster for a few weeks now and it has done extremely well. For the money, you can't find a better option. Great for ISWB and does not print. I usually wear tee shirts and the holster and gun (G19X) is never seen.Great product!
