Can’t figure it out all this stuff offered on their site.

I want one of those RTI(?) systems for the following:

Glock 17 + TLR-1

It needs to be right handed, semi drop for PC clearance (but not on the thigh), fit on a 1.5” belt and clear suppressor height sights.

Dude,

Order a holster from OTGHEX. Way better customer service, and RTI compatible.

Sincerely,
Someone who owns G Code holsters and will never buy another one because they don’t want my money.

“Can you make a holster with an x400v?”
“No”
“What if I supply the light”
“No”

“Can you supply a SOC upper half by itself?”
“No”

Yeah I'd probably agree, although it has been a few years since I used a holster from either company. The RTI mount is fantastic, but I pair them with Safariland ALS holsters now. If I need something crazy, OTG is usually my first stop. They usually have a coupon for military if I remember right too.

Thanks dudes, I know I’m getting OTG’s MKiii OWB holster.

Now which belt/attachment system fits my needs? Look at Safariland’s offering, guess I’m looking for a “low ride” belt mount for the RTI stuff.

On G-Code’s site, the GCA30 RTI duty belt mount is what I’m looking for but only offered for 2” belts. Where/what else is out there for 1.5” belts that is a “low ride”?

I'm pretty sure there is an optimal drop, let me see if I can find it.

ETA - https://www.tacticalholsters.com/product/gca200-rti-optimal-drop-pistol-platform/ This is what I was thinking of, but also for 2" I guess. Its got hook lining though so if you have a loop lined belt that should work. I've used the duty drop too and IIRC as long as the belt is relatively thick, you don't really notice shifting. Personally I'm using their MULE ISS and like it a lot. I couldn't get anything else to work well with a PC and chest rig.

Safariland ALS master race.

As GTF425 was suggesting in another thread (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?200722-Holster-for-glocks-19-17-34), whose advice I'm following for an rtf2 glock 17 w/ x300u and eventual RMR, grab the 6354DO (http://www.optactical.com/sa63.html) and get an RTI adapter. The optimal drop is good. I run my duty and carbine rig with a mid ride and a thigh strap and have had only good experience with it. Keeps clear of my (soft) armor, works better with my ape index, but isn't a shitass thigh rig.

Safariland ALS holsters are basically impossible to kill, and the retention is fo rill.

OP Tactical has all the stuff you'll need for the above listed setup. Fancy that.

Word is that there may be 7TS holsters for the 19 MOS inbound to Holster Ops. I sent an email for verification and further details but if true, I think an RDS 7TS would be the best overt holster ever made. Especially if it was lined with Multicam cordura...

Thanks for everyone’s guidance. OP Tactical is out of stock for all the crap I want to order.

I opted for T Rex Arms Ragnarok holster with the Safariland UBL mid ride system. Will report back soon.

OP Tactical's one weakness is that they are always OOS of the shit I wanna buy.

Report back on the TRex Arms holster. I've been curious, but don't have sheckles to spare to try it out just for funzies.

I have this exact set up as well as a RTI attachment. I found the mid ride to be tight between the gun (G17/19) and my belt. Enough that I was "worrying" about it on the draw. I like the Ragnarock with the RTI wheel set up though. I also have a G-Code holster, with RTI set up and an OTG carry holster. I think the G-Code is the easiest to draw from, but the retention isn't as good as the Ragnarock. Ragnarock works with both gen 4 and Gen 5 Glocks. I bought G-Code for a gen 4 G17 and doesn't fit the Gen 5 very well. All are fine products and I've liked running all.

Thanks for that. I wanted to ditch the traditional belt mounted Bravo Concealment holster I’ve been running because it’s too high and tight. I could lose the love handles too. The other option I considered is Frank Proctor’s Way of the Gun OWB System. Looks easy enough to drill for the mounting system whether for RTI receivers or Safariland.

I looked so hard at these Holsters but couldn't figure out how to give them my money either. Too many good holster makers to even bother.

If you’re running a battle belt, look for the DDO (Duty Drop Offset). He does a hell of a nice mold and he does a TLR-1 no problem. On the DDO, he uses the QLS instead of the RTI but I think he’d still do an RTI if you prefer but not in that DDO platform. JMO.
