B34 Leather Holster for Glock 17L / 34 / 35 with Red Dot

VlaMiTex B34 Pancake Leather Holster – Optic Ready for Glock 17L / 34 / 35

Performance & Speed

In highly dynamic situations, whether in competitive sports like IPSC shooting or in professional use, the speed of access determines success. The VlaMiTex B34 Pancake Leather Holster is designed precisely for these demands. It is the tailored solution for shooters who carry their Glock 17L, Glock 34, or Glock 35 with a mounted Red Dot optic. This OWB (Outside the Waistband) holster is a prime example of German craftsmanship, made from exceptionally durable 3.2 mm thick cowhide leather. As a true Optic Ready holster, it features a precise cutout that securely accommodates and protects your optic—be it a Trijicon RMR, Holosun, or Aimpoint Acro—without snagging during the draw. The design combines the traditional advantages of leather, such as noise reduction and weapon preservation, with the modern requirements of tactical users. The leather is treated with natural oils, making it resistant to weather influences and allowing it to develop a distinctive, personal patina over the years.

Everyday Usability & Comfort

The core of the B34 is its superior everyday usability, achieved through the flat pancake design. This design uses two pieces of leather that pull the holster extremely close to the body (High Ride). The result is an OWB holster that offers an astonishing level of concealability and barely shows under a jacket or loose shirt. For users seeking a concealed carry holster with the comfort of an OWB model, the B34 is ideal. The wide belt loops, designed for belts up to 5 cm wide, are crucial for stability. They distribute the weight of the longer Glock models (17L, 34, 35) optimally on the hip and prevent the holster from wobbling or shifting, even during quick movements, running, or getting in and out of vehicles. The ergonomically set draw angle is optimized for quick, natural access. Compared to Kydex holsters, the leather of the B34 offers an invaluable advantage: it is completely silent when drawing and holstering and sustainably preserves the finish of your weapon.

Safety & Compatibility

Safety and compatibility are top priorities for the VlaMiTex B34. The holster is wet-molded to ensure an exact, play-free fit for the specific Glock models. This precise shaping significantly contributes to passive retention. Additionally, the B34 is equipped with an active safety feature: a thumb-operated snap button. This thumb safety is positioned so that it can be intuitively and quickly released when gripping the handle, without slowing down the draw, yet providing high protection against accidental dropping or removal by third parties. The generous Optic Ready cutout is universally designed to accommodate the most common red dot sights and protect them from impacts and scratches. Another important detail is the open muzzle design. This tactical OWB holster does not obstruct protruding barrels, such as threaded barrels for suppressors or mounted compensators.

Holster Adjustment

A quality feature of genuine leather is its ability to adapt. If the fit of your B34 is initially very tight, you can easily optimize the holster adjustment yourself. Leather is a living material and reacts to moisture and heat. For a perfect fit to the contours of your Glock and your specific Red Dot optic, you can carefully warm the holster with steam (e.g., over a kettle) until the leather becomes soft and pliable. Wrap your (unloaded!) weapon in a thin plastic bag to protect it from moisture, and insert it firmly into the warmed holster. Allow the holster with the weapon inside to cool and dry slowly at room temperature. This process permanently shapes the leather and improves both retention and ease of drawing.

Care

The longevity of your VlaMiTex leather holster depends on proper care. As a natural product, leather occasionally requires attention to maintain its elasticity and resilience. Clean the holster as needed with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents. To keep the leather supple and prevent cracks, it should be sparingly treated with a high-quality leather grease or balm (e.g., beeswax-based). Apply the grease thinly and polish it after it has absorbed. Store the holster in a dry and airy place. Avoid direct sunlight or storing it on a heater, as extreme heat dries out the leather and makes it brittle.

Craftsmanship & Quality

At VlaMiTex, every detail of the craftsmanship is scrutinized. The B34 Optic Ready Holster is characterized by extremely clean and robust stitching, set with tear-resistant thread. The edges of the holster are carefully smoothed, polished, and sealed. This not only prevents fraying but also ensures that the holster does not snag on clothing. The interior is treated to maximally protect the surface of your weapon and the lens of your Red Dot optic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does the holster also fit a Glock 17 or 19 with Red Dot? The holster is designed for the longer slides of the Glock 17L, 34, and 35. A shorter Glock 17 or 19 will fit, but the holster will be significantly longer than the weapon, counteracting the open muzzle design.

Is the thumb safety fast enough for competitions? Yes, the thumb safety is designed for a quick, intuitive thumb break. With some practice, you can release the safety smoothly as part of the draw process, without losing time.

Which Red Dots are exactly compatible? The Optic Ready cut is generously sized and has been successfully tested with Trijicon RMR, SRO, Holosun 407/507/508, Aimpoint Acro P-1/P-2, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and similar models.

Is the holster also available for left-handers? The holster is standardly manufactured as a right-handed version (RH). Left-handed versions (LH) are often available as custom orders through 5-56.de.
