The Glock 41 is a great gun, used extensively by both military personnel and the police. It is also perfect for competitions, where the slightly longer barrel reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil. But which is a good Glock 41 holster?

Well, in our opinion the Comp-Tac International Holster is one of the best available at the moment. It fits the Glock 41 extremely well, meaning that you can be assured your gun will stay secure. In addition, the variable mounting options mean you can find the perfect cant for your needs, whether you need quick-draw capability or enhanced concealment.

What To Look For in a Glock 41 Holster

Whilst the slightly longer barrel of the Glock 41 is one of the major advantages of the weapon itself, it can make finding a suitable holster difficult. You really shouldn’t compromise, however, on getting a holster which fits your weapon perfectly. An ill-fitting holster, especially if it doesn’t grip your weapon tightly enough, can easily lead to you losing your gun, or even accidental discharge.

There are many things to look for when choosing a holster, and the priority you give to each factor will depend on how you use your weapon. A holster for competitions, for instance, is quite a different item to one designed for long periods of concealed carry. However, no matter what your purposes, the basic features to look for in a holster for your Glock 41 stay the same:

Weapon Security

First and foremost, you need to be sure that your gun will be held securely in the holster you choose, and that it will protect against the possibility of accidental discharge.

Nowadays, all of the best holsters for the Glock 41 feature fully adjustable retention screws. This means that even if your Glock 41 features aftermarket adaptations, you can easily adjust the holster to firmly hold your gun. The advantage of this is obvious – unless your holster holds your gun securely, you run the risk of it falling out, and potentially losing it at a critical moment.

In addition, look for a holster with a solid trigger guard. Even if you are are an experienced weapon handler, the risk of accidental discharge cannot be ignored, but with a trigger guard that totally encloses the trigger of your gun will be greatly reduced.

Ease of Access

The flip-side of weapon security is ease of access. Of course, you want your gun to be securely held in place, but if you cannot draw it quickly than your holster is almost useless.

The way in which you carry and draw your weapon is unique to you, so look for a holster that matches your preference. Look for a holster which offers variable cant – the angle at which your gun is held. For competition, where quick draws are a necessity, this is especially important.

Equally, whether you prefer a dropped offset holster, or a belt holster, is a matter of personal choice. For the Glock 41, with its slightly longer barrel, a dropped offset set up is perfect, as carrying this gun on your belt can be awkward.

Reloads

Most of the best holsters available at the moment for the Glock 41 are able to carry an extra magazine, and some allow you to carry two. The advantage of designs like this is obvious – you do not need to ferret around in your bag or pocket for more ammo.

Concealment

Again, whether you need a holster which is able to conceal your Glock 41 is a matter of how you use your gun. Whilst small holsters are best for concealment, their compact design often means that with the smallest holsters you need to compromise on extra features.

However, nowadays even some of the largest holsters are designed in such a way that they can be easily concealed, holding your weapon extremely close to your body to virtually eliminate printing.

Durability

Last, but of course not least, look for a holster that will provide years of reliable service. Whilst it may look like hard-case holsters, typically made from extruded plastic, will last the longest, this is not necessarily true. Soft holsters, if made from tough fabric, can last equally as long.

That said, if the way you use your gun means that it is likely to get knocked about, go for a hard-case holster. This will protect your weapon from accidental damage, and prolong its life.

1. Comp-Tac International Holster

 

 

 

A great holster, and my recommendation for the Glock 41. Put simply, this is the most solid-feeling holster around at the moment, completely encasing the front portion of your weapon, and feels like it will last for many years.

In addition, it offers the following features:

• The adjustable cant on this holster means it is fully adaptable. If you are particular tall or short, this can be really useful, allowing you to find the perfect angle for your weapon, and ensuring a quick draw.
• The holster is composed of Kydex, an extremely hard-wearing material, meaning that your weapon is securely held in place, and well-protected.
• The holster is IDPA legal in certain configurations, so if you are a competition shooter, this is a great holster to go for. In competition, the slightly lower front cut also has advantages, allowing you to begin the forward movement of the barrel just an instant sooner than with some other holsters.
• The only slight disadvantage of this holster is that it can feel a little bulky.

2. Q-Series Stealth Holster for Glock 41

 

 

 

This is a very compact, lightweight holster that is perfect for concealed carry. If you are looking for a holster that virtually eliminates printing, this is the one to go for – it hold your weapon extremely close to your body, meaning that no-one will notice you are carrying.

• Though it is small and lightweight, this holster feels extremely solid. It is composed entirely of polymer, meaning that even with the slightly bulky Glock 41 attached it does not flex or deform.
• The trigger guard on this holster is cleverly designed for such a small item, completely covering the trigger of your Glock 41 whilst not getting in the way of your draw.
• Due to its minimal design, this holster only holds your gun by the trigger guard. This can make it feel like it doesn’t hold your gun quite as firmly as some other holsters. We have not heard of an issues with guns falling out of this holster, however.

3. Fobus Concealed Carry Variable Belt Holster

 

 

 

This holster represents a good compromise between concealment and durability. The hardwearing polymer construction is also lightweight, ensuring that whilst you gun is completely encased, the holster is not too heavy to carry around.

• Whilst this is a hard-case holster, it is also easy to conceal. The low profile, and the fact that it sits close to your body, means that printing is kept to a minimum.
• This holster has fully adjustable retention screws, ensuring that it fits a wide variety of weapons, including the Glock 41, really well.
• The lifetime guarantee that comes with this holster gives great piece of mind, though with such a solid construction we are not sure it will be needed!

4. Blade Tech OWB Holster

 

 

 

This is a solid holster, which offers a great deal of durability. It utilizes a no-nonsense design which keeps things nice and simple, but still manages to hold your Glock 41 securely.

In addition, it comes with some added features:

• This holster offers a nice balance between the ruggedness of rigid holsters and the lightweight design of fabric items. It can be carried easily, but will not collapse when your weapon is drawn.
• The trigger guard on this holster is equally solid. It snaps firmly into place, and stays there, meaning this holster is a great option if you carry your Glock 41 in a pack.
• The holster fits the Glock tightly, and it does take some effort to pull the gun from it. Whilst this is nice from a safety perspective, it can mean that the draw speed on this holster is not the best.
