it is what it is. plastic, durable, convenient. lots more comfortable than the belt attachment model. used with a model 19 with the CT railmaster and it does what its supposed to. people with obsessions about babying their guns may not like it. the clasping action sounds rough, but its a glock! the barrel post for retention works well but some would question the effects on the barrel crown. i think both items work very well. OP is also on the ball as usual.

Simply put, if you need a concealable paddle holster that accommodates a tactical light, there are few choices, and this is one of them. The molded-plastic holster holds the Glock 23 perfectly with an Insight M3X light attached. However, there is just one level of pistol security, unlike a duty holster--a snap that is very different than any duty holster arrangement. You'll need to get used to it. Also, the method for unholstering the gun is somewhat different after unsnapping--straight back with the grip end of the pistol. Take some time to practice drawing before you trust the holster.

This holster is designed to hold a Glock 19/23/32 with light attached, which it does quite well. The retention is firm while allowing for a smooth draw. I've used this holster recently with my G23 in an IDPA type competition and was pleased with its performance. Drawing the weapon becomes intuitive and smooth with a little practice. Re-holstering takes a little getting used to as the retention snap strap tends to get in the way. I find that I have to look at the holster to replace the pistol, unlike the SERPA type holster I use when not mounting a light. Overall I am pleased with this model and expect to improve my abilities with it as I practice with and use it more.

Pros:  Well made and works great with a weapon with a light/laser.
Cons:  A little too snug of a fit on the weapon but will probably loosen with time and use.
Would recommend:  yes

Fobus makes great holsters and this is no exception. It works great with my Glock 19 with a Streamlight light and laser. It grips the pistol a little tighter than I like but I think it will loosen up with use and over time. The holster clips securely with or without a belt. This is a great holster.
