I have both a 20 and a 21 Gen 5 and need an IWB holster. I carry appendix and prefer holsters with two clips, one on each side of the gun such as Tier 1’s holsters.

Most holster companies make them for Gen 3 and 4 but not 5. I reached out to Tier 1 and they said that there is a big enough difference in the Gen 5 guns that they don’t fit in their Gen 3/4 holsters.

Anyone have any suggestions for an appendix carry holster for Glock 20/21 Gen 5?
 
lol haven’t tried it yet but in the winter I’ll appendix carry my Glock 17 so figure the 20/21 is just a bit wider.

Helps that I’m Irish so there’s not much for the gun to compete with space wise.
 
Thats a big gun to appendix carry. Your not gonna make it smaller using any type of holster. Maybe some type of wedge will help...not sure.

I just use a clip on IWB kydex (tons of makers) I used CYA holsters. Right hand side....
 
Fully recognize it’s a big gun, this would realistically only be for woods carry/hiking, that kind of thing. Not terribly concerned with a bit of printing, but just looking to avoid unwanted attention by open carrying.

I’m not looking to make the gun any smaller, just having a hard time finding an IWB holster for the gen 5 is all. Just about everyone makes holsters for Gen 3 & 4, just not Gen 5 which in the large frames is different enough that they won’t fit from what I’ve been told.

Why not get an owb if your only using it for woods stuff... no need to be uncomfy
 
In typical nes fashion I see the thread drifted rather quickly from my specific question to suggesting an owb leather holster like I’m a Texas Ranger or something.

Sarcasm aside I am not 100% against owb, just prefer the concealment of iwb especially appendix if I find myself somewhere non-permissive (yet still legal) or if I accidentally carry while deer hunting or something dumb like that. Not that I’d ever do that, strictly hypothetically speaking of course.

I’ll look into the suggestions noted above and welcome any ideas from someone experienced with the Gen 5 large frame guns which must be the first time Glock has ever made changes generation to generation.
