    owb holster for glock 17 with SF X300ub

    i'm looking for an OWB gor a glock 17 with a SF x300ub.

    wish list:
    im guessing duty/combat type
    i really don't need the thumb strap retention
    adjustable retention would be nice so when i use it for uspsa i can keep it loose, and when i need it for the run n guns (climbing over walls), i can kept it tight
    belt and molle attachment would be nice. are there any that are modular; i can throw a paddle attachment on, then molle when i needed
    i have seen some makers offer a low and mid rise, i'm thinking i would want it to ride a bit lower

    what has brought this "need" up is i am doing a run n gun match in a few weeks. one of the stages is shooting in a cave. it'd be nice to just shoot with a WML instead of just relying on a head lamp. i have shot in night comps before, but they would allow you to bag the pistol instead of a holstering.

    i typed it into google, and there are a lot of choices. i go to safari lands site and wholy shit they have a lot lol. i am hoping you guys can poin me towards some choices.

    i could swear comptac and bladetech had these, but i'm not finding them on their sight for some reason.

    Is it me or do the Safariland holsters just keep getting uglier?

    I love me some 6378 but that other one...

    I have a 7ts for a 19 with light that is handy and does belt and PALS attachment. Only downside is that it is barely concealable counter to its marketing.

    And yes they are nasty looking compared to a lot of other holsters.

    Bravo concealment - no thumbreak or adjustable retention, but set retention is legit - it ain’t going anywhere.

    I have a friend who had a bravo concealment holster that we nice. But, I like many, when carrying OWB and not concealed or for duty I want retention that is more than just friction.

    Personal experience has been that the Safariland ALS holsters are pretty nice. I keep looking to pick up one of the 7ts holsters for my Glocks. The only thing that has kept me away has been not having been able to get my hands on one to play with, and not knowing if, with the light, the bottom is a closed bottom or open bottom.

    How about semi closed for an answer, at least in the 19 + Surefire model.

    The holster is for Surefire or TLR so with a TLR it is about 1/2" longer than it has to be. The lens area of the bottom is closed over to where the curve of the dust cover and slide meet then there is a rectangular opening with filleted corners.

    Up inside that there is a block insert with a tapered arbor the muzzle slides over. The arbor is maybe 1/4" diameter at maximum so it can't be a bore obstruction if it snaps off and I assume allows for making it handier to use if a light is not attached to the pistol.

    No idea (yet) on how the muzzle block/arbor gadget is set up or located on other frame sizes.

    It is possible to access the lens (TLR at least) with a finger if you really work at it.

    Sounds similar, if slighty more open than my ALS. Semi open would prob be good enough, let some debris follow through wear my old ALS doesn't.
