SABRE SYSTEMS OWB Glock 17 / 22 / 31 - Outside the Waistband kydex holster

Product detailed description

Glock 17 / 22 / 31 or Glock 19 kydex holster with threaded barreled barrel for external belt carry.

CAUTION! This holster is not compatible with the fifth generation Glock 22 in .40S&W, which is 0.08 inches (2mm) wider than the previous generation. Older generation Glock 22 .40 S&W fit normally.

Like all SABRE SYSTEMS kydex holsters, this holster is compatible with both standard and enlarged controls such as the bolt catch and magazine release button. All of our holsters are Red Dot-ready from the start, regardless of whether the gun comes factory-equipped with Red Dot preparation or you've had it retrofitted. Compatibility with high sights is also a matter of course. Like all our OWB holsters it has a half sweatguard. The holsters have extended ramps for more intuitive loading of the firearm. 

The SABRE SYSTEMS OWB external belt holsters have a five-hole recess on the back for mounting, the holes are identical on the underside of the pistol. These are used to attach any suitable belt loops or loops with a hole spacing of 3/4" (19 mm). For greater variability in the height of the holster and adjustment of the inclination, we multiplied these holes by half the spacing, i.e. 9.5 mm.   

As standard, we supply our OWB belt holsters equipped with Infinity Loops from the American company MatchPoint for belts up to 1.75" (44.4 mm) wide, i.e. common tactical trouser belts (Blackhawk CQB Rigger's Belt, Helikon UTP Belt, Custom Gear inner belts, etc.).  We also optionally offer a 1.5" variant for belts up to 38 mm wide.

Infinity Loops are made of almost indestructible polymer Tufmax 820, their middle part is flexible (it can be easily bent to a right angle) and the loops adapt to the shape of your waist. Offers a wide range of positions - if you mount the upper loop facing upwards and the lower loop facing downwards, you will get an ergonomic tilt of the firearm approx. 10° forward. If you mount them upside down, you get a negative slope of 10°. If you mount them both in the same direction upwards, you have the holster straight, without an inclination, sitting lower on the belt, if you mount them in the opposite direction, you will have it higher again. For even more precise tuning, it is possible to use the holes in the through-holes "one by one" and choose the corresponding position according to the mounting holes of the holster. From the factory, we install the loops in a position with a forward tilt.  

The SABRE SYSTEMS OWB and XWB holsters are also compatible with DuraGrip quick release loops from the same company MatchPoint USA as the Infinity Loops. Again, they are made of the almost indestructible Tufmax 820 polymer. 

On our outer (OWB) and modular (XWB) holsters it offers a wide variety of positions by mounting in the holes that our holsters are equipped with. It is possible to position the holster in height, higher for better concealed carry, lower for a more comfortable and faster draw, as well as a slight inclination of the holster by placing one strap higher and the other lower. 

Dura-Grip quick-release loops have a distinctive "locking tooth" on the inside and outside of the belt, which minimizes the possibility of the loop slipping out of the belt. Even so, for non-recreational use, we recommend standard fixed loops with a loop (Infinity Loops), which form a solid connection between the belt and the holster, and therefore also with the firearm. Certainty is certain, and the comfort of quick-release straps also has its opposite.

The loops are available in two sizes - for 1.75" (44.4mm) wide belts and for belts up to 1.5" (38mm) wide.

The holster is compatible with all generations of Glock pistols except the first generation without a rail and the fifth generation Glock 22.

The holster has an adjustable retention and a prominent retention point. The pistol goes into the holster smoothly, has minimized friction surfaces, especially on the sides of the bolt, there is little play, which helps to save the finish of the firearm, and locks firmly only after the firearm is fully inserted with a clear and noticeable "click" behind the trigger (in the holster of a holster without a flashlight). When drawing after overcoming the retention point, the gun leaves the holster completely smoothly again. The screw in front of the trigger is used to adjust the retention (for pistols without a flashlight). In the holster of a firearm with a flashlight, the retention point and lock is on the body of the flashlight, depending on the type and model.

After adjusting the inclination and the bolt of the holster, it is necessary to secure the screws against loosening with a suitable agent (e.g. Loctite).

The holster is designed as open in the lower part, which allows dirt to fall freely, such as sand during intensive activities, in an emergency it will also fit a longer firearm model (e.g. Glock 17 in a holster for Glock 19), while the overhanging part of the firearm will protrude from the holster.  

The holster is intended only for the given model of firearm, or a combination of firearm and flashlight. A different model of gun or light gun will not fit in the holster or will not be adequately secured. 

When using, observe the safety rules for handling the firearm. Prevent loose parts of clothing or equipment from entering the holster when inserting firearm. Catching them between the holster and the trigger can lead to an unwanted shot and endanger life.  

If dirty, wash the holster from the inside and outside with a stream of running water and dry with a cloth. Do not use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. 

Do not expose the holster to temperatures higher than 60 °C. Before each use of the holster, check that all screws are tight and ensure that there are no obstacles or foreign objects inside the holster.
