Glock 34 Gen 4 Holster Recommendations

[JAK1981]

I have a Glock 34 Gen 4 and would like to lean on you more experienced folks for good holster options.

I'm looking for a holster to shoot 3gun. The only stipulation that my club has specified is that it must cover the trigger, and not be a race holster. Oh yes and that it must be on the belt, so no chance using my Model 29.

Any suggestions? My G34 is the MOS version and I plan throw on an optic in the future, so it would preferably be compatible with that.

Cheers!

I highly recommend Soley Canadian. Have a few and they are top quality. Unsure of optic compatible but they can definitely let you know.

Check out Blade Tech's website or Solely Canadian.

Some good options to look at there.

Definitely Bladetech Dropped and Offset. Multiple dealers on the forum sell then. Relatively quick draw and good for retention.

I prefer the Comp-Tac International over the Blade Techs. Have both.

Site sponsor Beetle Outdoor carries them

That's what I use.

Also 5.11 Tactical Series ThumbDrive Level 2 Retention holster (Part# 50026.)

Thanks a lot for your input guys. I ended up buying a 5.11 Tactical Series ThumbDrive Level 2 Retention holster off of G37. Especially since you can disable the retention mechanism if desired.

Cheers!

Anything but a SERPA. I recommend Safariland ALS or SLS holsters, as well as Raven Concealment and Solely Canadian for standard kydex holsters. But no SERPA.

I also use the 5.11 thumb drive and its works great.

I have the 511 and a solely Canadian with WRS. Solely Canadian is way better. Thumb drive is slow.

 

[JAK1981]

Turns out that you can disable the thumb drive on the 5.11.

G37, before selling it to me, figured that out.

I worry about slide wear with kydex holsters. No sense in depreciating a restricted any more than necessary.

Any wear concerns with a 5.11 holster?

All holsters will wear on the finish of a gun. Wear on a slide give a gun character and for those who understand pistols it won't make any difference in resale value especially if you are talking a Glock or M&P. They are never going to be collector items. If you want to maintain the finish on a gun you use a lot buy a gun pouch, fleece lined and carry a clean rag with you to wipe down and carbon soot that may have adhered to the slide before returning the gun to the pouch.

Take Care
