The manufacturer has not generally confirmed compatibility for pistols with red dot sights, taller sights, weapon lights, lasers, threaded barrels, or other accessories for this model. Always check the exact model and generation of your pistol. Included in the set Fobus GL-2 DB holster Paddle DB belt attachment Frequently Asked Questions Is the holster compatible with Glock 17 and Glock 19 Gen6 models? Yes. The current official compatibility list from Fobus states that Glock 17, 19, and 45 also include Gen6 models. However, if you have an older package or dealer description, make sure it is exactly the GL-2 DB model. Is the Fobus GL-2 DB compatible with Glock 22 or 23 Gen5 pistols? No. The manufacturer excludes Glock 22 and Glock 23 Gen5 models. Other generations listed by the manufacturer may fit, but always check your specific pistol model before use. What does Level II retention system mean? The holster actively secures the pistol at the trigger guard area. To release the weapon, you must use the thumb-operated release. The GL-2 DB additionally has a manual safety lock that must be opened before using the thumb release. How is the pistol released from the holster? First, ensure the manual Level II safety lock is open. Take a standard shooting grip, press the release downward with your thumb, and pull the pistol straight up from the holster. Practice the movement initially only with a completely unloaded weapon. Is the holster suitable for a pistol with a weapon light? The manufacturer does not list the GL-2 DB as a model for pistols with weapon lights. A weapon light or any other accessory attached to the rail changes the external shape of the pistol and may hinder insertion or locking. For such configurations, choose a holster specifically designed for your weapon and light combination. Is the holster compatible with a Glock with a red dot sight? The manufacturer has not confirmed compatibility for red dot sights with this model. Before purchasing, check the geometry of the optics, sights, and slide, or choose a holster specifically designed for optics-ready pistols. Is a belt required to use the Paddle DB attachment? The attachment is placed between the waistband and the body, and the holster remains on the outside. However, a secure and sufficiently rigid belt improves stability, reduces holster movement, and makes drawing the weapon smoother. When is the Fobus GL-2 DB the right choice? This holster is suitable for users who want to carry a compatible Glock in standard configuration outside the waistband and prefer active thumb release retention over passive friction retention. The additional manual safety lock can be useful in environments where extra protection against accidental or unauthorized draws is desired. A simpler holster with passive retention may be more suitable for regular range training, where the focus is on a draw with as few actions as possible. For a pistol with a weapon light or red dot sight, choose a holster specifically made for that accessory. Expert recommendation Before first use, check compatibility with a completely unloaded weapon. Remove the magazine, visually and physically check the chamber, and keep ammunition away from the work area. Insert the pistol into the holster and ensure the active retention locks correctly and the trigger is fully covered. Practice unlocking the safety, activating the thumb release, and drawing in a straight line slowly. Keep your index finger straight on the frame and outside the trigger guard during the draw. Do not sand, heat, or cut the holster, as modifying the construction may affect retention and trigger coverage. Glock holster with active Level II retention The Fobus GL-2 DB combines a lightweight rigid construction, Paddle DB attachment, thumb-released active retention, and an additional manual safety lock. It is a practical OWB holster for users who need clearly controllable extra retention when carrying a compatible Glock.
