Is there a particular safariland, bladetech, or another maker’s holster that’ll fit just about most handguns?
Is the safariland duty glock 17 holster pretty much a “gun bucket” for handguns? I have a few handguns but don’t really want to purchase a holster for each one.
I’m thinking the safariland 7ts with als since it has an active retention, it should hold a wide variety of handguns. Thoughts?
User from another forum confirmed the following information: “I have one for a glock 34. It will fit the following pistols: glock 26(loose but locks on place), glock 19, m&p 9, and 91fs. I haven’t tried other pistols. I have the 6395 meant for a glock 34 with an M3 light”
He also stated "Yep. The one i have is for the glock 34 /w a M3 light.
It will fit any of the handguns i listed w/o a flashlight. Also, if you guys the one with the M3 light attachment it’ll fit surefires and streamlights.
Holstering a firearm with no light won’t be as smooth, but it’ll retain them just fine.
As far as I know, this only works with this type of safariland holster:"
If you get into the universal holster racket you’re going to be very disappointed with the fit and retention no matter what gun you’re trying to use it with.
The only real answer would be to put new Surefire lights on all your guns and buy their Masterfire system. That gets very expensive very fast, though.
There is the Blackhawk Omnivore… but requires a rail. Clips ok with either a TLR-1/TLR-2, X300, or a clip that allows the pistol to be locked in (three different holsters for those).
They list a bunch of handguns that fit in their holsters, but it isn’t a complete list. My TLR-1 holster fits a PX4 (with the Glock key), and it isn’t listed by Blackhawk. But my SP01 is too tall for it. It isn’t as bulky as it looks, but it is similar to the Serpa in regards to carry position (uses its mounting system).
The lbtmasgreyseacityfundgroup LBT MAS grey mk24 laser suppressor holster works pretty good for me. I even have one with drop cut off to slide over belt high ride.
SL told me they would not make a holster for my models. While there can really be no one universal holster that does it all. The LBT one worked out just fine for my recreational shtf use. Keep in mind using the wrong model holster can be very dangerous and not recommended, it is a personal decision.
I want to stick to something kydex. I’m going to borrow a coworkers safariland with ALS for a glock 17 and see how many of my pistols will fit in there with positive locking retention.
I edited the top post to put something someone else said on a different forum. Their glock 34 holster fits their m&p, glock 19, beretta, and something else.
Updated thread: safariland Glock 34 with light holster will fit a p10c and retain it correctly. It will not fit a vp9, m&p 9 2.0 5 inch (maybe because the safety), will not fit CZ p07 or regular cz75. Will not fit vp9 with or without light.
So to answer the question: no, it doesn’t fit anything but a p10c or a Glock.
Safariland 6378 for m&p fits and retains my m&p with and without tlr-1 and a g19 with and without a light.
The glock is loose, but wont come out. I dont know if id trust it (with g19) for duty use, but for holding the gun while excersizing running, etc, its not going anywhere.
I would be leery of sticking a Glock, M&P, or similar trigger arrangement/pull weight in to a standard M12 with a round in the chamber. Way too easy for stuff to be able to get inside the trigger guard.
Not very sure about locking holsters for the wrong pistol either. Seems like a good chance the moving around could wear the surfaces that catch over time and become a sucky surprise someday.
