Glock 17

Full-size means more gun to hold onto, more sight radius, and more room on the dust cover for a light. The picks here lean duty-grade: retention holsters built for the job, and the same Gen5 MOS optic plate that makes running a red dot on a 17 a non-event.

Just bought one?

Start with these three

A duty holster with real retention, a machined plate to mount the dot properly, and the torque wrench that keeps it zeroed.

Blackhawk

T-Series L2C Compact Holster

Thumb-activated Level 2 retention that sits naturally under the master grip. What the old Serpa should have been: no trigger-finger button.

C&H Precision

Optic Mount Plate: Glock Gen5 MOS

Machined to the Gen5 MOS pattern for the G17/G19, with screw patterns cut for the RMR/SRO and Holosun 407C/507C/508C/508T footprints. The difference between a dot that's actually zeroed and one that walks under recoil.

Manual F.A.T. Wrench

The torque wrench that keeps scope rings and optic mounts from either backing out or crushing a tube. Preset to the torque spec, turn until it clicks, done: no in-lb math at the bench.

Before you buy

Glock 17 questions

Will Glock 17 holsters fit a Glock 19?

Generally not the other way you'd hope. A G17 holster has a longer shell, so a G19 sits in it without proper retention at the muzzle end. Some open-bottom OWB designs tolerate it, but for carry you want the holster molded for your slide length.

Level I or Level II retention for a full-size?

For concealed carry under a cover garment, Level I friction retention is standard and fine. Level II, with an active release you defeat deliberately on the draw, is what you want for open carry, duty use, or any setting where the gun is visible and reachable by someone else.

How much torque do optic mounting screws need?

Follow the optic maker's spec, which is typically in the 12-20 inch-pound range for red dot mounting screws: far less than most people apply by feel. Overtightening strips the small screws or cracks an optic housing; undertightening lets the dot shift and lose zero. This is the exact job a preset torque driver exists for.
