Glock 17 OWB Light-Bearing Holster
Outside Waistband Holster – Fits Gen 3, 4, 5, 6 or V Glocks with TLR-7 HL-X, TLR-7 A or TLR-7 X
This Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) light-bearing holster is designed for the Glock 17 Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 5, Gen 6 & Gen V paired with the Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X. It is also compatible with the Streamlight TLR-7 A and TLR-7 X weapon-mounted lights. Built for range use, duty applications, and open carry, this holster offers secure retention and a streamlined profile.
Choose the Right Version:
We offer two holster variants to ensure proper fit and retention:
Gen 3/Gen 4 Holster: Fits Glock 17 Gen 3 or Gen 4 with TLR-7 HL-X, TLR-7 A or TLR-7 X
Gen 5/Gen6/Gen V Holster: Fits Glock 17 Gen 5, Gen 6 or Gen V with TLR-7 HL-X, TLR-7 A or TLR-7 X
⚠️ Do not use the Gen 5/Gen 6/Gen V holster with Gen 3 or 4 pistols, or vice versa.
Each mold is generation-specific to ensure correct retention and draw performance.
Retention is achieved on the weapon-mounted light rather than the firearm itself. For proper function and safety, the compatible Streamlight light must be installed on the pistol.
Construction & Fit
Each holster is vacuum-formed using a precision-machined mold developed from a CAD model of the actual Glock 17 and supported Streamlight lights. All holsters are formed, trimmed, and folded in-house to maintain consistent quality.
Final fit and function testing is performed using a Glock 17 with the TLR-7 HL-X installed. Retention is adjustable, allowing the draw resistance to be tuned to user preference.
