About time. Glock got on the 9MM Fanboy kick. They alienated a portion of their base over it. Someone finally figured that out, I guess.

Yeah they did.
Had they come out with a Gen 5 .40 cal. when I bought my LE trade in G21, I would have bought it. But, only if it were a G22.

When the 42 then 43 came out, I called the closest LE Distributor (GT Dist for me) and ordered one. I think it was about two weeks before the release date may have only been one. I received the 42 pretty quick after the release date and the 43 maybe a couple of weeks after release. That was probably from the 2nd or 3rd shipment GT received. I know it wasn’t the first.

I would expect the shops buying directly from Glock (LE Distributors and stocking dealers) can get the quickest, then the authorized dealers who buy from distribution (Lipseys, etc.).

Correction on my post, the 43 was scheduled to release on April 10th. I found a post I made about mine dated April 14th. I guess impatience made me think it took longer than it did.

Try contacting the seller to see if he can trade them out.

I have a GSSF coupon, Blue Label price is $425, I already have Gen 4 G23 and G27, I may wait a while, see how people like the way they shoot.

I joined GSSF for 3 years, got my first coupon and goody bag about a month later. So for $80 I got a 3 year membership and I'll get 3 coupons.

Blue Label price on the Gen 5 17,19,26,22,23,27 is $425 (base models)

I figured it was a good deal, plus there are indoor GSSF monthly competitions in at least 2 locations near me.

Comp-Tac Releases Holster Fits for Glock .40 Gen 5s
September 22nd, 2020
HOUSTON, Sept. 21, 2020 – Comp-Tac® added new Glock® .40 Gen 5 fits for the Infidel Max™, Infidel Ultra Max™, Warrior™, International™ and Blue Duty Holster Series™ approximately two weeks prior to the launch of these new firearms.



In addition to the fits already available, Comp-Tac plans to eventually expand every holster offering to accommodate the wider bodies of the .40 Gen 5s.

New holster fits include:
• G27- International, Infidel Ultra Max, Infidel Max, eV2
• G23- International, Infidel Ultra Max, Infidel Max
• G22- International, Warrior, Blue Duty – No Light

“Being able to work with firearms manufacturers during the release of new weapons is a real honor for Comp-Tac,” said Gordon Carrell, Comp-Tac general manager. “The new Glock Gen 5 .40 caliber guns have a slightly wider frame than the previous generations and Comp-Tac has been able to design holsters to fit these new guns in a short period of time. Because of that, these new holsters will be ready for purchase before these new Glocks are even available, allowing customers to carry those firearms right away.”

The International Holster is an OWB, all-Kydex® holster with a modular mounting system that includes a belt mount, paddle mount and drop offset piece. The International has been the top holster used at the IDPA nationals for eight years in a row and is an excellent choice for those who want to participate in competitive shooting events or head to the range for some training time.

The Infidel Ultra Max Holster is an IWB, Kydex-and-leather hybrid holster designed for concealed carry. The Infidel Ultra Max is designed with cant adjustment holes to allow the user to change from a reverse cant, straight drop speed cant and FBI forward cant. The Infidel Ultra Max’s top-grain, cowhide leather backing is the most comfortable material to wear against your skin. It provides a soft, flexible material that does not rub or pinch.

The Infidel Max Holster is an all-Kydex inside-the-waistband holster designed to be worn behind the hip at the 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock positions. With an easy-on, easy-off single clip, this holster is a favorite for users who want the ability to put on their gun or take it off as their environment changes.

The eV2 Holster is an appendix IWB holster designed for concealed carry. The eV2 includes the Comp-Tac Kick, a piece designed to help press the grip of the gun into the body for better concealment.

The Warrior Holster is an outside-the-waistband holster that was recently tested and recommended by the National Training Officers Association (NTOA). The all-Kydex, pancake design is excellent for concealed carry or general range use.

The Blue Duty Holster Series no light version is a level two outside the waistband holster. The Blue Duty Optic no light will accommodate a firearm with a red-dot optic attached. With a belt mount, paddle mount and drop offset, this holster provides a high level of diversity and compatibility with level two retention.

I'm not crazy about the way they look and I much prefer the metal clips on my Vedders to plastic. Their Hybrid IWB holster uses a bolted kydex shell so that it can be changed if you change your weapon. (Saw this in a customer review) I prefer the look of the Vedder hybrids and Vedder offers optional horsehide rather than just leather.

I'm sure by the time I get a Gen 5 .40 Vedder will have their act together.

This Comp-Tac info is very good, thank you.
