The C&G Covert OWB Holster: Your Ultimate Solution for Concealed Carry and Duty Readiness

In the world of personal defense and professional law enforcement, the right equipment is paramount. When it comes to carrying a firearm, particularly a Glock, the choice of holster can significantly impact safety, accessibility, and comfort. The C&G Covert Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Holster stands as a prime example of expert engineering, designed by professionals for professionals and discerning citizens alike. This isn't just a piece of gear; it's a meticulously crafted tool that addresses the critical needs of concealed carry, plainclothes duty, and rigorous training.

For anyone asking, "What is the best OWB holster for my Glock 17 or Glock 19 that allows for a red dot sight and a weapon light?", or "Where can I find a comfortable, durable OWB holster for everyday concealed carry?", the C&G Covert OWB Holster offers a compelling answer. Available at DEGuns, this holster embodies the perfect fusion of robust construction, intelligent design, and real-world utility. Its design stems directly from the operational experience of its founder, Chris, a Law Enforcement officer who initially developed the Covert to meet the demanding requirements of his own plainclothes police work and serious training regimens. This foundational perspective ensures that every feature serves a practical purpose, making it an indispensable asset for those who rely on their gear for protection and performance.

Engineered for Excellence: Unpacking the C&G Covert OWB Holster's Core Features

The C&G Covert OWB Holster is not merely assembled; it is precision-engineered using state-of-the-art CNC machining, ensuring an unparalleled level of accuracy. This process results in a holster that is precise to an astounding 0.003 inches, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your firearm. Let's delve into the specific features that make this holster a top-tier choice for a wide range of Glock models.

Optimal Comfort for All-Day Wear

A common challenge with OWB holsters, especially during warmer months or when wearing lighter clothing like a T-shirt, is achieving comfort without compromising concealment or retention. The C&G Covert tackles this head-on, designed to be arguably the most comfortable concealed carry OWB holster, even with just a T-shirt. This superior comfort is attributed to its intelligent design, which contours effectively to the body while maintaining a low profile.

A key element in its comfort profile is the medium sweat guard. This feature acts as a crucial barrier between your firearm and your body, preventing sweat and oils from your skin from contacting the pistol's finish. Beyond protecting your firearm from corrosion, the sweat guard significantly enhances wearer comfort by preventing the firearm's sharp edges or cold metal from pressing directly against your skin, especially during extended wear or in active situations.

Ready for Modern Optics: RMR Cut Out

With the increasing popularity of pistol-mounted red dot sights, an optics-ready holster is no longer a luxury but a necessity for many users. The C&G Covert OWB Holster is explicitly designed with an RMR cut out, providing ample clearance for a variety of popular red dot optics. This includes, but is not limited to, the Trijicon RMR, Leupold DeltaPoint, and Sig Romeo series. This forward-thinking design ensures that users can outfit their Glocks with the latest aiming technology without needing to compromise on their holster choice or resort to modifications. This feature is essential for those who prioritize rapid target acquisition and enhanced accuracy that modern red dot sights provide.

Compatibility Across Generations: Glock Models Supported

Versatility is a hallmark of the C&G Covert OWB Holster. It is meticulously designed to fit a broad spectrum of Glock pistols, specifically Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 models of the Glock 34, Glock 35, Glock 17, Glock 22, and Glock 19 (including the 19X), as well as the Glock 23. This extensive compatibility means that whether you carry a full-size duty pistol like the Glock 17/22, a competition-ready Glock 34/35, or a compact carry option like the Glock 19/23, the C&G Covert provides a secure and reliable fit. This wide range of supported firearms makes it an incredibly appealing option for individuals owning multiple Glock platforms or for departments standardizing on a particular model.

Integrated Light-Bearing Capability

Many modern firearm users, particularly in tactical and self-defense scenarios, equip their pistols with weapon-mounted lights for low-light engagements. Recognizing this critical need, the C&G Covert OWB Holster is engineered to accommodate popular tactical lights, specifically fitting the Surefire X200, Surefire X300A/B, and Surefire XH35 mounted lights. This integrated capability allows users to carry their full tactical setup without the need for a separate, dedicated light-bearing holster, streamlining their gear and ensuring readiness in any lighting condition.

Enhanced Draw and Reholstering: Tall Sights and Flared Opening

Two often-overlooked features that significantly impact a holster's practical utility are its accommodation for sights and its mouth design. The C&G Covert comes standard with tall sights compatibility, meaning it provides ample clearance for suppressor-height sights or aftermarket target sights. This prevents snagging during the draw and ensures that users can install their preferred iron sights without interference.

Complementing this is the flared opening of the holster. A flared opening is a critical ergonomic detail that facilitates smooth, snag-free reholstering. When you're under pressure or need to quickly secure your firearm after use, the wider, funnel-like opening guides the pistol back into place effortlessly, reducing the risk of fumbling or accidental discharge. This design element not only enhances safety but also speeds up the process, which is invaluable in both training and real-world scenarios.

Performance and Durability: The Hallmarks of a Professional Holster

Beyond comfort and compatibility, the C&G Covert OWB Holster is built for unwavering performance and enduring durability, reflecting its heritage from Law Enforcement and Veteran design.

Solid Locking Retention

One of the most critical aspects of any holster is its retention capability. The C&G Covert features solid locking retention, providing an audible and tactile "click" when the firearm is securely holstered. This positive feedback reassures the user that their pistol is firmly seated and won't inadvertently fall out during movement or activity. This precise, custom-molded fit not only ensures weapon security but also allows for a fast, consistent draw stroke when needed.

Adjustable Cant for Personalized Carry

Personal preference and carry style vary greatly among individuals. To accommodate this, the C&G Covert offers an adjustable cant from zero to 15 degrees. Cant refers to the angle at which the holster sits on the belt. A zero-degree (straight up and down) cant is often preferred for strong-side hip carry, while a forward cant (like 15 degrees) can aid in concealment and accessibility, particularly when drawing from an appendix or 3-5 o'clock position. This adjustability empowers the user to fine-tune the holster's position for optimal comfort, concealment, and draw efficiency based on their body type, clothing, and activity.

Uncompromising Hardware Durability

The often-small details can make the biggest difference in long-term durability. All hardware utilized in the C&G Covert OWB Holster undergoes an added treatment: Salt Bath Nitriding. This advanced surface hardening process significantly enhances the strength of the hardware components and provides exceptional resistance against rust and corrosion. This means that even in harsh environments or with prolonged exposure to sweat and elements, the holster's critical components will maintain their integrity and functionality, ensuring a long service life.

Trust and Authority: Why the C&G Covert Stands Out

When choosing a holster, trust in its quality and reliability is paramount. The C&G Covert OWB Holster distinguishes itself through several key indicators of authority and trust.

National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Tested and Recommended

Perhaps one of the most significant endorsements for any tactical gear comes from the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA). The NTOA conducts rigorous testing of products designed for law enforcement and tactical applications. The fact that the C&G Covert OWB Holster is NTOA tested and recommended speaks volumes about its performance, durability, and suitability for the most demanding operational environments. This endorsement provides independent validation of the holster's quality and effectiveness, assuring users of its proven capabilities.

Proudly American-Made, by Veterans and Law Enforcement

Every C&G Covert OWB Holster is 100% made in America, by Veterans and Law Enforcement personnel. This commitment to domestic manufacturing and the direct involvement of those who understand the critical importance of reliable gear instills a profound sense of trust and pride. It means that the expertise gained from years of service in the military and on the streets is directly channeled into the design and production of each holster. This direct lineage from the user to the manufacturer ensures that the product is not just theoretically sound but practically perfected for real-world application.

Guaranteed for Life

Further solidifying its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, the C&G Covert OWB Holster comes with a lifetime guarantee. This unparalleled warranty reflects the manufacturer's supreme confidence in the durability and craftsmanship of their product. It provides users with peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected for the long haul, reinforcing the idea that this holster is built to last through countless draws, reholsters, and years of service.

The C&G Difference: A Holster Born from Experience

The C&G Covert OWB Holster is more than just a holster; it's a testament to practical innovation. As C&G Founder Chris articulates, "I originally designed the Covert to run my duty Glock 17 for plain clothes Police work and serious training." This personal mission statement underscores the holster's design philosophy: it's not a theoretical product but one forged in the crucible of real-world police operations and high-stress training scenarios. This origin story highlights its suitability for:

• Law Enforcement Officers: Ideal for plainclothes assignments, detective work, or off-duty carry where OWB is preferred.
• Concealed Carry Permit Holders: Provides a comfortable, secure, and accessible option for everyday carry that can be easily concealed under a jacket or loose-fitting shirt.
• Competitive Shooters: The fast draw and solid retention make it suitable for various shooting disciplines, especially those requiring a weapon-mounted light or optic.
• Firearms Enthusiasts: For anyone who demands the highest quality and performance from their gear.

When considering an outside-the-waistband holster that balances superior comfort, uncompromising retention, and compatibility with modern firearm accessories like red dot sights and weapon lights, the C&G Covert OWB Holster emerges as a definitive leader. Its design, rooted in the actual experiences of Law Enforcement and Veterans, ensures it meets and exceeds the expectations of the most demanding users. For those ready to invest in a holster that delivers on its promises of durability, comfort, and tactical readiness, the C&G Covert OWB Holster is available now at DEGuns.
