Glock 34/35/41 holsters
I'm finally ready to make a political statement by open carrying. Now all I need is a holster. I figure you guys can help me out in that area.
Thanks,

And welcome to the world of OC! Let me begin by telling you that you made an EXCELLENT choice in a carry weapon!
By the way, I also carry a Glock 34! :banana:
And yes, this same weapon is basically the same size as a full size 1911. Many police officers around the nation carry this fine weapon as a duty gun so DON'T BE BASHFUL.
To answer your question as to what holster you should use, I recommend as a minimum a level II holster. This holster requires that you depress some sort of button to remove the firearm. In addition to this, you want to make sure that the holster INCLUDES AN ANTI GRAB DEVICE! Remember, you're in public with your gun, BUT we can't always predict the motives of others.
With that said, I would recommend the 5.11 Thumbdrive Holster. 5.11 Tactical, in conjunction with BladeTech, has designed a series of holsters to fit specific firearms INCLUDING glock 34/35 (These holsters WILL also fit the new Glock 41)!! Order from Amazon.com for best pricing.
