Glock 23 Gen 5 Holsters

In 2020, Glock updated its compact .40-caliber model, the Glock 23, to match the specifications of its Generation 5 series of pistols. Gen 5 models include a number of improvements over Gen 3 and Gen 4 guns. While most of these changes are internal, the pistol’s external dimensions have been slightly modified, meaning gun owners must invest in dedicated Glock 23 Gen 5 holsters.

Incognito Concealment has a complete selection of holsters for the Glock 23 Gen 5. These convenient Kydex holsters are lightweight, durable, suitable for IWB and OWB carry, and easy to maintain.

Ergonomically Designed Holsters for High-Performing Firearms

The Glock 23 is the .40-caliber version of Glock’s flagship Compact series, known for its blend of stopping power and manageable size. For Glock 23 Gen 5 owners, choosing a holster that complements this upgraded compact pistol is essential.

If you need a Glock 23 Gen 5 holster, Incognito Concealment’s selection is built with user comfort, stability, and secure retention, making them ideal for reliable, everyday concealed carry.

Glock 23 Gen 5 Holster for IWB Carry: Incognito Concealment T3

The Incognito Concealment T3 is the ideal solution for gun owners interested in carrying inside the waistband (IWB). With its open-ended design, lightweight construction, and customization option, the T3 stands out among belt-mounted concealment holsters.

Whether you shoot your G23 right- or left-handed, with or without a light or a laser, there is a T3 that can safely secure and retain your pistol. We can also install a mod-wing for appendix carry at your convenience.

OWB Glock 23 Gen 5 Holster: Incognito Concealment Venture

The Incognito Concealment Venture is our OWB holster model. It is an excellent solution for gun owners who prefer to carry the Glock 23 on the outside of the waistband. Pair the Venture with a suitable cover garment like an overshirt or hoodie, and it can become your everyday concealment holster capable of blending comfort and concealment.

The Venture is manufactured from the same low-profile Kydex materials as the T3, minimizing its thickness and reducing the risk of printing.

Paddle Holster for Glock 23 Gen 5: Incognito Concealment ST7-Pro

Paddle holsters like the Incognito Concealment ST7-Pro combine an OWB principle with a practical and adaptable paddle system. Instead of a standard belt clip, our ST7-Pro paddle holster is fitted with a large plastic paddle designed to grip the inside of the waistband.

In addition to letting you carry your Glock 23 with or without a gun belt, you can adjust the holster’s position on the waistband in seconds. It’s the perfect solution for gun owners with an active lifestyle or frequent transitions between standing and seated positions.

Combining Functionality With Aesthetics

Every Incognito Concealment holster is customizable to meet your needs and personal preferences as a gun owner. For instance, all our IWB and OWB holsters can be purchased with an optional optics cut, letting you carry your G23 Gen 5 with a red dot sight.

If you don’t want the standard black holster, you can order all our products in different colors and patterns. Customize its looks and aesthetics to your preferences and personalize your Incognito holster.

Complete Specifications of Glock 23 (Gen 5)

The fifth-generation Glock 23 has slightly different dimensions than the Gen 1-4 versions. Although subtle, these differences are enough to require a different holster. Here’s a breakdown of the Gen 5 Glock 23’s specifications:

• Manufacturer: Glock
• Caliber: .40 S&W
• Product family: Compact
• Action: Semi-automatic, striker-fired, proprietary Glock Safe-Action system
• Overall length: 7.28”
• Barrel length: 4.02”
• Height: 5.08” with magazine inserted
• Width: 1.34”
• Capacity: 13+1 with standard magazine. It can also accept standard 15-round magazines and extended 22-round magazines compatible with the Glock 22.

Externally, the two biggest changes between the Glock 23 Gen 4 and its Gen 5 counterpart are width and height.

The slide has also been redesigned and is approximately 0.08” inches thicker than its Gen 4 predecessor. It is also fitted with both front and rear serrations.

FAQs

How much does a Glock 23 Gen 5 hold?

The Glock 23, with its standard magazine, can hold up to 14 cartridges of .40 S&W; 13 in the magazine plus one in the chamber. This capacity can be increased to 15+1 with a Glock 22 magazine or even higher with an extended magazine.

What type of holster is best for concealed carry?

A wide range of holsters can be used for concealed carrying. The traditional choice is the IWB holster, such as the Incognito Concealment T3, which allows you to hide the holster shell inside the waistband. If paired with season-appropriate cover garments, you can also use outside-the-waistband models, like the OWB Venture or the ST7-Pro paddle holster.

All holsters can be adjusted to improve concealment; the right combination of clothing, holster position, cant angle, and ride height can help you conceal your Glock 23 even more effectively.

How concealable is a Glock 23?

The Glock 23 is a mid-sized pistol, smaller than the full-size Glock 22 but larger than the subcompact Glock 27. It is identical in size to the popular 9mm Glock 19, widely considered one of the best concealed carry handguns on the market. Therefore, it is just as concealable and practical.

How long is a Glock 23 Gen 5?

The Glock 23 Gen 5's overall length is 7.28” or 185 millimeters, identical to that of the Gen 4 model. It is comparable in overall length to a compact revolver with a 2.5” barrel while carrying nearly three times the number of rounds.

What size barrel is a Glock 23 Gen 5?

Like all Compact Glocks, the Glock 23 Gen 5 has a 4.02” barrel (102 millimeters). Other handguns with similar barrel lengths include the SIG P365 XL (3.7”), Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact (4”), CZ P-10 C (4.02”), and Heckler & Koch VP40 (4.09”).
