Every day...
I wanted to wait until I’ve used this holster for a few weeks before posting this review because I wanted to insure I was addressing each point adequately.Overall Size & Weight – The holster is exceptionally light and compact. With the trend of carry lights and systems getting smaller and lighter, this holster compliments the compact G19 APLc weapon and light system really well in that regard. It’s easy to get your hands around the whole holster to grab it. There is no excess bulk to the holster. Even those with smaller hands will find that it’s easy to get your whole hand around the holster and manipulate the gun in and out of the holster.Retention & Fit – The Fit and Retention of the holster on the weapon system is perfect. Nice, crisp easy draw. Not too tight and not too lose, just the right amount. A real goldilocks feel. Some users will note that it doesn’t have adjustable retention, but it’s not needed. Retention is perfect right out of the package.Multiple Glock Model Compatibility – The holster works equally well with both the Glock 19/23 and Glock 17/22 with the Inforce APLc attached. The holster has an open muzzle which allows the added length of the G17/22 to pass through. I think it’s those small added features that really set this holster apart. You can tell that the manufacturer really spent some time thinking about the end user. It also plays nice with all current Generations of Glock pistols including: Gen 3, Gen 4 and new Gen 5 models.Comfort & Concealment Features – As the description and pictures indicate this holster has a Concealment Wing and Concealment Wedge integrated into the holster itself. These two features help to really conceal the weapon system by forcing a cantilever effect pushing the grip/butt of the pistol back into the body. These features really work, and I think, make the holster more comfortable to wear. I know that many holster makers will add these features for an additional cost, but it’s nice to be able to get them included with the price. I never would have thought a mid-sized double stack pistol with light accessory would be so easy to comfortably conceal!Other Features – As indicated in the pictures there are some additional blocking holes on the front of the holster which will allow you to use additional attachment options should you choose. The holster comes with two IWB Clips: 1.50” & 1.75” which is VERY nice. Again, many holster manufacturers will make you choose either 1.50” or 1.75”. It’s nice to get both so I can insure I get the proper fit depending on the size belt I’m wearing. As the pictures might indicate, the holster is RMR Optic and Suppressor Sight Channel Ready. I don’t have these features on my gun (yet), but it’s nice to think that if I choose to add them in the future, I won’t have to go out and buy a new holster! Again, I think it’s these small details which set this holster apart.Overall Aesthetic – This holster is really just beautiful to look at. It really is. Very crisp and defined lines. Great definition in the plastic. The friends I have shown it too have had nothing but good things to say about it. It just looks the part.The word that keeps coming to be when I think about this holster is: Value. It’s a fantastic value when you consider all the little small details that are included as part of the package. Definitely worth the $69 I paid for it. It’s obvious that a lot of thought went into how someone like me might use this. In short, the holster is amazing. Definitely the best holster for a Glock 19 / Inforce APLc that’s out there. Works exactly as advertised. This will be part of my EDC kit from now on.

Hazmat went the extra mile with this holster.
This is a great holster. As mentioned in other reviews, one of the greatest attributes of this holster is that it is made to fit both the full size and compact Glocks (17/19/22/23/31/32 9mm/.40 S&W/.357 Sig). Excellent retention and very comfortable against the skin. A lot of holsters at this price point do not have weapon commonality built in. This holster comes with a 1.5” AND 1.75” belt clip. It’s also built with the cut out for an RMR and suppressor-height sights. You usually have to pay extra for that kind of action. Overall, this is a great holster. I will definitely buy another Hazmat Holster if the need arises.Update: This holster works well for the Glock 19X with the APLc. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise with Gen3/4/5/X compatibility. Well done.

Sits comfortably, tight retention causes aesthetic damage to APLC.
I waited for three weeks before posting this review because I wanted to do some stress testing with this holster. Firstly, the retention is perfect on my Gen 4 Glock 19. It was tight at first, but after a few days and some dry holster training, the retention is great. It’s also incredibly comfortable. I’m using a different clip on mine (the alternate one that came with the product at no extra charge), and it sits pretty high on my belt, so when I sit down it doesn’t dig into my leg at all. I’m a big guy (6”1, 230lbs) and carrying appendix was always questionable until I got this IWB holster. My only complaint is that it’s wearing the plastic on my APLC. The retention was so tight to start, there are noticeable marks on my flashlight from continuous drawing and holstering exercises. Some people like the worn look, and it’s not damaging my APLC by any means, but I was hoping it wouldn’t cause the “worn” look to my 125$ flashlight attachment.. because of that, 4 stars.

Great Holster for the Glock 19 w/APL-C
Good quality holster very similar to the 508 Holsters "Torch" series. Pros: Ability to use the single wide belt clip or switch out with dual clips (not included) for added stability, large sight channel to accommodate taller sights, built-in wedge and wing help pull the gun in closer to the body. Cons: No way to adjust retention.
