Good post. I'm not an LEO, and have wondered this from time to time. 5-10 years probably does not seem like much to the guy who buys the gun, it sees some light duty along with his 10-30 other firearms, and is considered "heirloom quality", "this will be passed down at least one generation", etc., vs. 40+ hours a week of use and abuse. Good point taking into account that round count is not the be-all-end-all in considering terminal wear on a duty gun. | |||

A hair when i measured the x300u is was 1.4ish at it's widest part, bezel is only 1.125 so it narrows down, i have two other views right now, but don't think they give you a clear picture of the width you are asking about.I can take a much better pic at lunch if you like    | |||

I've been intrigued by the XC1 for exactly the same concerns JLJ mentions. I have lights on all of my 'OWB Only' or off-body guns, but don't have one on my G19 for concealment purposes, though I would like to have one. The xc1 seems like a small enough option that it wouldn't affect IWB carry all too much. Shown on a G19 here:  ________________________ | |||

I do like the looks of that. Seems that Guncrafters are in the Glock 19 and Glock 19 only business. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. Do one thing and do it right. | |||

If I were in your shoes, I too would be pushing for 9mm Glocks. It'll be easier for the officers in your agency to transfer over from the Glock 40's, to the 9mm Glocks. I'd look into the G19 model. | |||

That holster is for Glock 17 or 19, and he's making 34 now too. Glock is his bread and butter. | |||

If he comes out with one for a 34, I'll probably purchase one. | |||

Mmmmmm, the powers that be at my PD flatly refused the Glock and the M&P due to the "light" trigger..... one of them said, "someone will shoot themselves" that's a training issue, keep you F'n trigger off the gun won't "go off"... I carry a G19 gen 4 off duty, and haven't shot myself with it yet.... "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

The cop that has his desk next to mine has that exact set up. IWB on his appendix. I do like that little light. | |||

Some questions if you don't mind. Is that the Arcane IWB holster? If not which model is it? Does it have the capability to tighten it down very tight? I mean extremely tight, as my concern is retaining the gun while running/fighting.

I have two guncraft holsters, the Arcane which you see above and the Arcane mod2 which is made especially for glocks with the XC-1 attached and is open ended. I have the Arcane set with blue loctite at about a 5 out of 10 on retention, 10 being Hercules would be needed to draw it. You can see in that pic above the rubber spacers on the bottom there is plenty more room to tighten it down. The Arcane Mod2 i ordered first i had to loosen up as the retention was for me just too much (actually made loosen it some more)but one thing is it showed me how well that clip works. With the Mod2 you can also run RCS over hook, or Strut with pull the tab loops. Here are some photos of the Arcane Mod2 which as i understand it they are going to develop one for longer Glocks like 17 and 34 with different WML options than just the XC-1. Fell free to e-mail any more questions, i think i have hijacked Jerry's post enough.     | |||

Thanks for the description, and thanks for the pics, especially showing the spacing. IMO, that's how all "taco" or "U fold" holsters should be made. Two tension screws, to allow even application of pressure, and enough space to allow you to crank it down for a very tight fit. One more question, the Guncraft website doesn't show the holsters as well as your pics do. Do you know if the Cloak holsters also have that same type of room to tighten down the holster? I also carry a Glock 27, so I'm looking for something that conceals well, but also can provide better retention than my current holsters. Thanks again for the info. ___________________________________________ "He was never hindered by any dogma, except the Constitution." - Ty Ross speaking of his grandfather General Barry Goldwater "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want." - William Tecumseh Sherman | |||

i believe they do, but i would recommend reaching out to Jeremy at Guncraft he's pretty good about getting back within a day. Here is one pic that shows the side a bit, and if the two holsters i have allow that much room to tighten them down then i would say the same goes for the cloak https://www.instagram.com/p/BP.../?taken-by=gun_craft | |||
