Does anyone know if the same holster will work (well) for both a Glock 17 and a 34?  Specifically, a competition holster like a Blade Tech or Comp-tac.   It seems like a holster for a 34 should fit a 17, with a little extra length left over, but I'd like to hear from someone with first-hand knowledge.

 

Thanks.

Yes. Same frame. As long as the bottom is open.

Yes. Buy the one for a G34 and your G17, 19 and 26 will fit. I do it with a comptac paddle holster and switch between them all the time.

 

Or you do like pk90 said and get one with open bottom that lets the longer slides hang out from the holster, choose what you're comfortable with.

That's kind of what I figured.   When I posed the question to Blade-Tech, their response was, and I'm quoting here:  "Unfortunately the Glock 17 and the Glock 34 will not fit the same holster. You will need a separate holster for each firearm.".  

 

But then, Blade-Tech sells holsters for a living, so I figured I'd get an answer from the real world.

I use the same for my 34, 35, 19

Depends on the particular holster.

With some models that are shaped for a G17, you might not be able to drop in a G34. But if you buy a holster for a G34, it should fit a G17 easily.

Make sense?

Depends on the holster and method of retaining the gun in the holster. I have some holsters that will fit every Glock I have from a G35 down to a G27. I have others that are specific to each Glock size.

On the G34/17/19/27 frames, the differences are in not only the length of the barrel but, the location of the takedown lever and size of the dust cover on the 26 is different than the others. If these parts are molded into the holster, it may not fit a G26 correctly.

The 17, 17L, 22, 24, 31, 34, 35 and 37 all have the same size frame/grip. Did I miss any?
