The Rounded Gear GLK172231CFRHOWBPDL delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for Glock 17 pistols with a lightweight carbon fiber reinforced Kydex construction. This paddle-style holster eliminates the need for belt threading while maintaining positive weapon retention through precision molding.
What Makes This Different
Carbon fiber reinforcement increases structural integrity by 40% compared to standard Kydex holsters while reducing overall weight. The paddle attachment system distributes carry weight across a broader surface area than traditional belt clips. Audible retention click confirms proper seating, and the smooth draw stroke requires consistent 8-pound retention force.
Key Features
- Carbon fiber reinforced Kydex construction for enhanced durability
- Paddle attachment system fits belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Precision molded for Glock 17 with full trigger guard coverage
- Adjustable retention screw for customized draw resistance
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant angle

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F without retention changes. The paddle design allows quick attachment and removal for range sessions or competition use. Carbon fiber reinforcement prevents holster flex during rapid draws while maintaining the lightweight characteristics competitive shooters require.
