elanaiba Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm looking to get a WE or TM Glock 17, but heard the slide is wider than real steel spec and therefore it won't be compatible with real steel holsters. Thats a bummer, as I was looking to use it with my Safariland ALS holster. Is it true? And if yes, can I replace the slide with another type and solve this issue? Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yes, you'll have to use a Glock 21 holster. Replacing the slide MIGHT help, but it's hard to know dimensions before purchasing. Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 My 6378 ALS for G17 couldn't fit stock TMs or WE's. With an AS Salient upper and TM frame however, it was a slightly snug fit. Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Assuming the measurements of the KJ Glock are the same (they should be since they are all copies of TM), I believe it is only certain holsters that they do not fit. Mine fits perfectly fine in an Uncle Mike's G17 holster and Blackhawk CQC (C1311 model) holster. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Depending on the holster type both the slide and frame could be an issue. So yeah, Glock 21 models should work fine. Link to post Share on other sites

luke213 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I can also add that safariland seems to fall into the glock 20/21 fit properly holsters. I've got several airsoft glocks and all fit perfectly in the larger framed glock rigs. I haven't taken a caliper to check compared to the real thing but I'd say that's spot on they seem to be the size of the larger frame 45 and 10mm variety. Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 My Glock Safariland needed to be heated up so it could adjust to the size of my TM Glock. After heating it and letting it adjust to the larger size of the TM Glock it was perfect afterwards. I've also got an IMI Glock 21 holster which works great, but I had to pad it with some loop velcro so that it didn't rattle around inside it. Link to post Share on other sites

curlyboy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have both the TM Glock 17 and the WE (gen 4) and you can mod the Serpa holsters easily to fit them, just push the gun into the holster (remove the mag first), heat the holster with a hair dryer to make the plastic soft and then leave it to Cool, repeat a few times then once the holster is a little wider wrap a plastic bag over the end of the gun and repeat the cycle a few more times then just leave the gun in the holster and the holster should have formed around the gun. In my experience the KJ and KSC glocks fit RS holsters fine but the TM & WE need a little modification. Curlyboy Link to post Share on other sites
