The Glock 45 TLR-7 Light Duty & Competition OWB Holster is purpose-built for the Glock 45 Gen 5, Gen 6, Gen V, and Glock 45 MOS equipped with a Streamlight TLR-7 A or Streamlight TLR-7 X weapon light. Designed for competitive shooting, range training, and light-duty use, this outside waistband holster delivers rapid access, adjustable retention, and a secure fit for consistent performance.

Light-Based Retention System
This holster utilizes retention on the mounted Streamlight weapon light rather than the firearm frame. The TLR-7 A or TLR-7 X must remain attached to the pistol for proper retention and safe operation. The holster will not securely retain the firearm without the weapon light installed.
Our recommended light for this setup is the Streamlight TLR-7 X USB weapon light.
