Carrying a .45 Glock 21

The Glock 21 is a full-size .45 on Glock’s large frame, the same size as the Glock 20, and the grip is what prints. For concealed carry, run the tuckable or the IWB with a claw on a stiff gun belt. For the range or open carry, the paddle and belt loop OWB keep it outside the waistband. We don’t make a light-bearing Glock 21 holster, so these won’t take a gun with a light mounted.

Glock 21 Holster Buyer’s Guide

What Is the Best Glock 21 Holster for Concealed Carry?

The best Glock 21 holster for concealed carry is usually a stable IWB holster with secure retention, full trigger guard coverage, and enough ride-height adjustment to manage the pistol’s full-size frame.

Should You Choose an IWB or OWB Glock 21 Holster?

Choose IWB if concealment is the priority. Choose OWB if range use, open carry, comfort, and faster access are more important than deep concealment.

Does a Glock 21 MOS, Light, or Accessory Setup Need a Different Holster?

If your Glock 21 has an optic, weapon light, threaded barrel, suppressor-height sights, or compensator, confirm holster compatibility before ordering. Accessory fit is especially important with full-size carry setups.

What Is the Best Glock 21 Holster for Range and Outdoor Carry?

The Glock 21 is popular for shooters who want .45 Auto performance in a full-size platform. OWB carry is often the most comfortable option for range training, outdoor use, and open carry.

Why Choose a Kydex Glock 21 Holster?

Kydex helps maintain consistent shape, retention, and reholstering performance over time. For a larger .45 Auto pistol like the Glock 21, that structure helps support safer, more repeatable carry.

Glock 21 Holster FAQs

The best Glock 21 holster is a rigid Kydex holster molded for Glock's large frame, in IWB for concealed carry or an OWB paddle for range and duty use. Because the 21 is a full size .45, ride height and a stiff gun belt matter more than they would on a compact. Most Glock 21 holsters also hold the Glock 20.

It can be carried daily, but it asks more of you than a compact does. The 21 is a full size .45 on Glock's large frame, roughly 8.07 inches long and 1.34 inches wide, holding 13+1. A tuckable IWB holster with a claw, a high ride height and a proper gun belt is close to mandatory for concealment.

No. The Glock 21 uses Glock's large frame while the 17 uses the standard frame, so the 21 is wider and taller through the slide and will not seat correctly. The Glock 20 is the right cross-fit, because it shares that large frame, and most makers list a single Glock 20/21 option.

Yes. The Gen 5 Glock 21 was among the models retired in November 2025, but the gun continues as the G21 V MOS in Glock's V Series, which reached dealers in early 2026. In that lineup it is offered in the optics ready MOS configuration. Holsters for earlier Glock 21s remain widely available.
