Posted by JX Tactical on Feb 6th 2026
Do Glock Gen 6 Pistols Fit Existing Glock Holsters? (Tested & Confirmed)
With the release of Glock Gen 6, one of the most common questions we’re seeing is:
“Will Glock Gen 6 pistols fit my current Glock holster?”
If you’re researching Gen 6 Glock holster compatibility, here’s the clear answer:
Yes — Glock Gen 6 pistols fit existing JX Tactical Glock holsters.
We’ve confirmed this through hands-on testing.
Below is a straightforward breakdown of what changed on the Gen 6, what didn’t, and why your current JX Tactical holster still works.
Glock Gen 6 Models Supported
The Glock Gen 6 lineup currently includes models such as:
- Glock 17 Gen 6
- Glock 19 Gen 6
- Glock 45 Gen 6
These pistols retain external dimensions consistent with previous Glock generations, allowing them to work seamlessly with existing Glock holster designs.
What Changed on Glock Gen 6 (And Why It Doesn’t Affect Holster Fit)
Glock Gen 6 focuses on refining ergonomics and usability rather than altering the external geometry that holsters rely on.
Frame and Ergonomic Updates
- New RTF6 grip texture with expanded coverage
- Integrated thumb rest areas
- Deeper trigger guard undercut
- Larger integrated beavertail
- Subtle frame contouring for improved hand fit
These updates improve grip and control but do not change the slide profile or trigger guard shape that determines holster retention.
Trigger, Controls, and Slide Changes
- Flat-faced trigger
- Slightly revised slide release area
- Deeper front and rear slide serrations
All of these changes remain within Glock’s traditional external tolerances and do not interfere with holster fit or draw.
Updated Optic-Ready System
Gen 6 introduces a redesigned optic mounting system with a deeper cut and direct-mount capability.
Because JX Tactical Glock holsters are optics-cut compatible by default, this update has no negative impact on holster compatibility.
Confirmed Fit With JX Tactical Glock Holsters
Based on hands-on testing:
- Glock Gen 6 pistols fit all current JX Tactical Glock holsters
- Retention, draw, and reholstering function normally
- No changes are required when moving from Gen 5 to Gen 6
This includes our most popular IWB Glock holsters:
If you already own a JX Tactical Glock holster for a previous generation, you do not need to replace it simply because you upgraded to Gen 6.
What Can Affect Holster Fit (Regardless of Generation)
Even though Gen 6 compatibility is confirmed, holster fit can still be influenced by:
- Aftermarket slide modifications
- Compensators or threaded barrels (If your firearm has one of these, please email answers@jxtactical.com before placing your order and we’ll let you know where to note it so we can ensure your holster is built to accommodate it.)
- Non-standard frame alterations
As long as your Glock maintains standard external dimensions, holster fit remains consistent.
