DeSantis Thumb Break Mini Slide Holster - Glock 17/19/22 - Tan

The DeSantis Gunhide 085TAE1Z0 Thumb Break Mini Slide delivers secure retention and rapid deployment for Glock pistols in a compact outside-the-waistband design. This tan leather holster combines traditional craftsmanship with modern security features for duty and concealed carry applications.

What Makes This Different

The thumb break retention system provides Level II security while maintaining quick access under stress. Unlike basic friction holsters, the positive thumb break mechanism prevents weapon retention attempts while allowing authorized users to draw smoothly. The mini slide design sits closer to the body than full-size holsters, reducing printing and improving concealment for plainclothes officers and civilian carriers.

Key Features

• Thumb break retention strap with snap closure for Level II security
• Premium tan leather construction with reinforced stitching
• 1.75-inch belt loops accommodate most duty and dress belts
• Fits Glock 17, 19, and 22 pistols with factory sights
• Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree forward cant
• Minimal break-in period required compared to molded alternatives
• Open muzzle design accommodates threaded barrels

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.5 seconds after proper training with the thumb break mechanism. The leather construction provides quiet operation for tactical applications while maintaining weapon security during physical activity. Weather resistance improves with regular conditioning, making this suitable for year-round carry in varied climates.
