Read MoreRounded Gear equips Glock 19 owners with our precision-fit holsters for Glock 19. Each one of our holsters is precision engineered and built in house by our team of EDC experts and is built for safe, comfortable, & reliable everyday carry.
Every Rounded Gear Glock 19 concealed carry holster is precision-molded with our 'Posi-Click' retention, and is designed for all-day comfort. From inside-the-waistband Glock 19 holsters to outside-the-waistband Glock 19 holsters, our holsters deliver concealment, safety, and confidence no matter how you carry.
The first step to carrying your Glock 19 with confidence is dialing in your setup. We’ll break this checklist into Inside the Waistband (IWB) and Outside the Waistband (OWB) carry options so you can decide what works best for your lifestyle. Then we’ll cover the extra gear that makes carrying your Glock 19 safe, comfortable, and reliable every single day.
Glock 19 IWB Holster (Primary)
The foundation of everyday concealed carry. A quality IWB holster for the Glock 19 should be slim, secure, and comfortable enough for all-day wear. Rounded Gear holsters are precision-molded specific to the Glock 19 for perfect retention and a smooth, consistent draw.
Claw / Concealment Wing
Want maximum concealment? A claw attachment pushes the grip of your Glock 19 closer to your body, reducing printing and making it virtually disappear under a t-shirt.
Tuckable Clips (Optional)
If you carry at work or need to tuck in your shirt, tuckable belt clips allow you to keep your Glock 19 completely concealed while dressed professionally.
Spare Magazine Carrier (IWB)
One mag isn’t always enough. A spare mag carrier keeps extra rounds accessible without adding bulk, rounding out your Glock 19 IWB setup.
Gun Belt
A sturdy, reinforced gun belt is non-negotiable. The Glock 19 has a little more weight than micro-compacts, so a proper belt prevents sagging and keeps your draw consistent.
Comfort Enhancements (Optional)
Foam pads or holster wedges can improve comfort, reduce pressure points, and help angle your Glock 19 for a cleaner, faster draw.
Glock 19 OWB Holster (Primary)
Perfect for range days, open carry, or colder months with jackets and layers. A proper OWB holster should ride close to the body and allow fast, natural access. Rounded Gear OWB holsters for the Glock 19 are slim enough for jacket concealment, but rugged enough for hard daily use.
Paddle vs. Belt Loop OWB Mounts
Spare Magazine Carrier (OWB)
OWB spare mag carriers let you carry extra ammo securely, making them ideal for training, duty setups, or extended time away from home.
Retention Adjustments
Your Glock 19 should feel secure but still draw quickly. Rounded Gear OWB paddle holsters feature adjustable retention screws so you can fine-tune tension for your preferred balance of speed and security.
Range or Duty Belt (Optional)
For dedicated OWB setups that prioritize readiness, a heavy-duty belt can carry your Glock 19 holster, mag carriers, flashlight, and even a small med kit.
Dialing in your Glock 19 concealed carry setup means pairing the right holster with the right gear. Whether you prefer IWB with a claw for maximum concealment, or OWB for range and winter carry, Rounded Gear builds holsters and EDC gear designed to keep your Glock 19 secure, comfortable, and ready when it matters most.

Comfort comes down to slim design, smooth edges, and adjustability. Rounded Gear IWB
holsters are precision engineered with contoured edges and adjustable cant to reduce hot spots, making them ideal for long hours of wear.
The Glock 19 is often called the “Goldilocks gun” of concealed carry. Not too big, not too small, just right. For most responsibly armed citizens, it’s one of the best everyday carry choices available due to its size, round capacity, & legendary reliability.
The best place to conceal carry a Glock 19 is usually appendix (AIWB) or strong-side IWB (3–4 o’clock) with a properly designed holster. Both offer the balance of concealment, comfort, and access that makes the Glock 19 one of the most popular everyday carry pistols.
While a Glock 19 can fit into many Glock 17 holsters, it’s not always recommended. The Glock 17 has a longer barrel than a Glock 19, so Glock 17 specific holsters will many times have excess material or will be much larger than necessary to carry around a Glock 19.
Holsters molded specifically for the Glock 19 will provide better concealability, comfort, and safety.
You need a holster designed specifically for the Glock 19’s slide and frame. Rounded Gear holsters are precision-molded for an exact fit for your Glock 19.
Yes, the Glock 19 is one of the most popular pistols for appendix carry due to its balance of size and capacity. Rounded Gear IWB
holsters provide the retention and safety required for this carry method.
This depends on the situation, but generally a holster with rigid construction and full trigger guard coverage designed specifically for the Glock 19 will be the safest option. Rounded Gear holsters are precision crafted specifically for your Glock 19 and are made of durable Kydex, ensuring your trigger is always fully protected and retention is secure.
Many police officers use OWB duty holsters with level 2 or level 3 retention. Rounded Gear's civilian-focused IWB and OWB holsters are based on military and law enforcement spec holsters, but without the Level 2 or level 3 retention. They are built for everyday carriers who prioritize concealment, comfort, safety, & simplicity.
Most experts recommend carrying chambered for readiness,
provided you use a holster that fully covers the trigger guard for safety. Rounded Gear
holsters are all designed with full trigger protection for safe chambered carry.
IWB holsters tuck inside the waistband of your pants, offering excellent concealment, while OWB holsters ride on the outside, making them easier for open carry
or training environments. Rounded Gear provides high-quality options in both
categories.
