Holsters for the Glock 19 and 43X, plus the models that share a fit with them, in Kydex, leather and hybrid builds. Every holster here is made for specific Glock models, so check the fit before it goes in your cart. The comparison table further down lines our picks up side by side.
Glock 19 holsters
Picks for the Glock 19, several of which also list the 19X, 23 or 45. Fit varies from holster to holster, so go by the models named on each product.
Glock 43X holsters
The 43 and 43X are slimline frames, so a holster built for a Glock 19 will not hold them properly. These are made for the smaller pistols.

How to pick a Glock holster
Start with your exact model. A holster is shaped around one slide and frame, and the Glock lineup runs from the pocket-size 42 to the full-size 17, so a holster that fits one can be loose or unusable on another.
Then account for anything on the gun. A weapon light changes the shape of the front end and needs a light-bearing holster built for that light. A slide-mounted red dot needs an optic cut, or a holster listed for MOS slides.
Carry position comes last. Our concealed carry holsters cover other pistols and carry styles, and our handgun holsters include belt and paddle options.
Glock holster questions
Can I use a holster made for a different Glock model?
Only when the manufacturer lists your model. Slide length, frame width and anything mounted on the rail all change the fit, and they vary across the lineup.
Do I need a different holster for a weapon light?
Yes. A light-bearing holster is built around one specific light, so match both the pistol and the light to the listing.
Will my red dot fit?
Look for an optic cut or a holster listed for MOS slides. A standard holster can cover or press against a slide-mounted optic.
Is there a left-handed option?
Ambidextrous holsters can be set up for either side. Right-hand holsters only work on the right.
