Outside-Waistband (OWB) Taco Holster — Glock 19 Gen 5 & Gen V, Glock 19X / 45 Gen 5 & Glock 19 / 23 Gen 3–4 — Streamlight TLR-1 HL
Precision vacuum-formed OWB taco-style holster engineered for Glock 19 Gen 5, Gen 6 & Gen V, Glock 19X and 45 Gen 5 pistols with the Streamlight TLR-1 HL weapon-mounted light. Also available in a Gen 3/4 variant for Glock 19 & 23 (select the Gen 3/Gen 4 SKU). Retention secures the light body — this holster will not retain the firearm properly without the TLR-1 HL installed.

How Retention Works
This model uses light-based retention (the light housing is the retention point). Remove the TLR-1 HL and the holster will not hold the firearm correctly. Retention tension is user-adjustable so you can dial draw resistance to your preference.
