Fobus Fobus Glock

I'm not sure what the going rate is currently on here for this but when i purchased it a little over 3 months ago it was brand spanking new on the market and was literally half what it was retailing for locally . So that being said i was a bit skeptical that i may be getting an older Gen 1 model or even a knock off perhaps . Fortunately and thankfully i can put any of your with that same notion to rest . It is an actual factual Fobus Gen 2 adjustable tension slip holster . It actually shipped from the manufacturers department of sales in Israel . This also had me a bit worried at first when i found out it's origin but with a lil' research i found out that's actually where Fobus is headquartered and operated from ( ya learn something new everyday ) In any case , S&H was free through Amazon and it stated to allow 19-25 days or some ridiculous something or the other but i can not tell you how surprised i was to have it in my hands in less than 7 days !!! FROM ISRAEL !!! Tracking numbers were supplied for those of you whom are into that daily , even hourly grind lol . The product is fantastic , i've owned a Fobus holster before and it wasn't perfect but was pretty good and i'd read and heard that these new Gen 2's were going to correct and improve those issues and more . I FULLY CONCUR ! 3 months of nearly daily wear and i can't compliment it enough , comfortable , easy to use and access , the adjustment feature is perfect and it's slim low profile makes concealed carry a breeze with my Glock 23 . I can't speak to the other fitments but the Glock fit is like a glove , i've tested and carried several of them in it and it holds them all flawlessly ... BUY THIS HOLSTER !!!

I bought this holster on Amazon.com for less than $20. For the price it is a great holster. If you don't like paddle holsters or follow the belief that a person could potentially sneak up behind you, grab your gun and break the holster off your hip while the gun is still in your holster (check out the youtube video demo of this), then there is no reason you would want to buy this holster. For the rest of us this is a great range belt for the price. There are better, but much more expensive holsters out there. I like the convenience of easy on and off with a paddle holster, and in my opinion Fobus makes pretty good quality stuff. I've used the original Fobus paddle holster without the adjustment screw and I recommend the Evolution holster over the original. Having the ability to adjust the tension on your holster makes a huge difference. I always thought the tension on the original holster was too tight, although with practice I got use to the draw. With the Evolution holster I lowered the tension significantly and I feel much more comfortable with the draw. As far as retention I feel like the holster still retains the gun just fine. I can run and move around without it falling out. For police officers and others who carry their gun on their hip everyday in public you should consider a holster that will provide other means of retention. For example a thumb strap that goes over the back of the gun and or a button that releases the gun. This holster will not provide any protection against an assailant that tries to grab the gun. If you want a simple, inexpensive holster to wear to the range then get this holster. If you need a holster for duty or combat, then consider a more expensive holster such as a Blackhawk, or Raven.

Well made as all Forbus brands.

I always try to review based upon price, function, and quality of a product. And based on those criteria, the Fobus Standard Series holster for Glock is a very good holster. I'm certain there are better holsters to be found, but I doubt they will be at this price point. This holster is molded to specifically fit the guns indicated in the description - mainly full frame Glocks in 9mm or .40 cal. The muzzle end of the holster is open, so length is not going to be a problem. My 17 fits perfectly - but so will your 34 or 35.... When ordering, I debated between the standard Fobus holster and the Roto. I actually ended up buying both, but I prefer the Standard over the Roto - and here's why: The Roto has a weak point where the single adjustment screw connects the holster and paddle. This screw can work loose, which makes the entire rig loose. The paddle is a bit narrower on the Standard, which makes it easier to insert and remove. Lastly, the Standard fits tighter to your body (due to the absence of the roto ratchet system), which is better for concealment. I still like the Roto too, but prefer the Standard a bit. Here's what you need to know: - The materials and workmanship of this holster are very good. It is inexpensive, but by no means "cheap". - Retention is adjustable. I had to back the retention off quite a bit to get a good draw friction, but it's simple and works great. - Draw requires a fairly deliberate motion. This is by design. When drawing from this holster, you need to pull straight out with a smooth, even motion. There is no "sort of" about drawing your gun from the Fobus... I think some folks might have a problem with this, but I don't. I do recommend you put in some dry practice time with it, to get your technique into muscle memory. - The cant (angle of gun) is fixed and not adjustable. It has probably a 5 to 10 degree forward cant. - I really like the paddle design so that I don't need to remove my belt to attach and detach the holster. Here's another good thing about it - you don't need to worry about where your belt loops are - the holster can go right over them. How many times does a belt loop interfere with the "perfect position" you want! The paddle (portion that goes inside the waistband) has excellent retention tabs that really grip the belt and waistband from the inside. This holster is not going to pop out. Is this holster a good concealed carry solution? Probably not the best. That's not why I got it, I bought this for competition shooting. It is technically a "concealment" holster, but it would not be my first choice for a daily carry holster. However, it fills all the requirements for IDPA, etc. Now, here is what you NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE THIS HOLSTER: As soon as you take this holster from the package, apply a light coating of silicone to the entire INSIDE of the holster - being extra sure to coat the housing for the trigger guard, which is the primary retention point. This will make it much easier to draw the pistol. If you don't do this, you'll find that you have to jerk incredibly hard to draw, so hard that it will destroy any smooth technique you have. Doing this also prevents wear to your polymer frame from friction. I used a silicone cloth, but a spray followed by wiping would do just as well. I also recommend backing the retention screw all the way out, and then gradually adjust it in until you are comfortable with the amount of retention.

I bought this holster for the paddle feature and for better concealment. The paddle feature allows my to slip the holster over my belt which is pretty convenient. The holster stays in place well and is easy enough to draw from. The holster rides high enough that most of my shirts and jackets will hide it. It probably prints some, but not real obvious. I wore it on a 12 mile hike and found it very comfortable. I use it with a Glock 19 gen 5 and had no problems with the fit. I read a lot of comments about it not working for more recent gen guns, but Fobus was very specific about what models and gens this holster works with. I made sure that the seller was Fobus to ensure that I received a genuine item.

Out of the bag this holster fits a Gen 4 Glock 19 perfectly and it's hard to beat the price. The paddle works great for retention in combination with a belt and I haven't had any issues drawing the gun. I bought this holster for a CCW class as the center doesn't allow Blackhawk Serpa holsters with the retention feature. I was a fan of my Blackhawk holster but this Fobus holster is probably as good if you can live without the retention feature. Update: Overall this is still a good holster however I have found it not really comfortable for all day, every day type wear. The holster tends to shift around getting in and out of the car, sitting/standing, etc. and requires reseating from time to time. If its in the wrong position it can actually get a hold of loose skin and pinch you which doesn't feel pleasant at all. If you are getting this for EDC carrying I would recommend something else more comfortable. Right now I am finding that my Pro Carry HD IWB from theholsterstore.com (also available on Amazon) is much more comfortable and easier to conceal.

Wanted a hard holster for my Glock 17 to secure on hip for firing range (and other stuff). Adjustable screw works great to dial in just how much retention you want. Love that click when gun goes into the holster. Paddle shape works great to hold it close to the body with great comfort and very minimal (if any) movement while walking. Easy install and removal, just slip it over the pants, push down and it's in. This gun is not falling out of this holster (no belt needed, at least not for me). A little silicon spray inside the holster works very good to improve the feel. First "hard" holster I've owned and I just love it. Very nice purchase for my needs. I liked it so much I ordered another Fobus (a model GL-2 SH that Amazon doesn't carry with retention push button). Will have to see which one I end up liking best. I'm glad I bought this. No Glock should be without one.

I like Fobus but... I had to contact Glock to identify my handgun. It has a Gen 4 serial number but the "V" model apparently has a Gen 5 width. I had to return this item due to the confusion. It's hard to find a Fobus for Gen 5.
