Glock Gen5 Compatibility?
Posted by Richard Hobbs on Sep 26th 2017
Looking for a Gen5 holster for the Glock 17 or Glock 19 -- they are in stock and ready to ship today.
So did Tulster change the Profile holster design?
Yes, we felt the need to change and upgrade our Glock 17 and Glock 19 molding tools to reflect the changes brought on by the Glock Gen5 release.
The Why.
Because we fit every holster to it's exact firearm with minimal tolerances, our old Glock 17/19 molds did not allow tolerances for some of the new features of the Gen5. Here are some of the details: Slightly longer slide, Slightly thicker frame, Slide lock release on both sides of the firearm. Most of the items didn't effect our holster but the ambi slide lock release did catch on the Left Handed holsters (on the sweat shield) as there was no channel. Because our business model is to aim for perfect fitment on every holster, we decided to upgrade our tooling.
