Retention holsters for open carrying the Glock 40?

[Bluebird5000]

I usually conceal carry my Block 40 in a Black Arc Ace-1 and it works very well, but I have not been able to find any holsters with retention for open carrying. Is anyone aware of a retention holster for the Glock 40?

I can find retention holsters for the Glock 17/19 easily since they are more popular with law enforcement.

I don't have the retention holster but I do have competition cut one that I use for hunting season. They use a dual layered kydex design that makes it really strong and stiff.

Excellent, these look real good and I hadn't heard of the brand before.

Yeah even with just 'retention' not defensive retention I like it to be tight to where I can hold it upside down loaded with a full mag of 220gr hardcast and it won't fall out. I may need to check the competition holster out as well.

My holster from red hill can definitely do that. Had to run after the dogs in some hilly areas this year and didn't have any problems.

Keep in mind that the G40 is a little long. If you go with a holster that comes up past the ejection port in the front your probably going to need a bit more drop from the belt line to get a good draw without doing some weird contortions.

That kinda sucks as I like to hop back into the truck without taking my gear off.

Do you have an opinion as to which type of attachment is best? I can call them about it but wanted to see if you had an opinion as well.

I now have two matching holsters from them for the G40's. One has the TekLok and the other has their Warlock. Not a fan of the warlock for hunting so I put it on my practice belt.

I called them up a while ago and they said TekLok stopped selling to mom and pop operations so they started using the warlock.

All the hole spacing are all the same and you can order the tek-lol separate from amazon for $10. Just tell redhill to include the hardware to attach it to the TekLok and it'll be all good.

Ill snap some pics tomorrow.

I finally made a decision, ended up getting the Level 2 with the Tek-Lok attachment (or equivalent) and EMT Red Snakeskin and optics cut. Should be great for when I'm fishing ... or when I want to walk the dogs on our neighborhood with only 3 cops lol. I'll post pics once I get it.
