Safariland Model 557: built for the Glock 19
The Safariland Model 557 exists for one job: keep a Glock 19 exactly where it belongs until the moment its owner needs it. That’s the balance Safariland has been refining since 1964.
Why officers trust it
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 19 with its weapon light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in STX Tactical to match agency uniform standards.
Who carries it
Detectives, plainclothes assignments, and off-duty carriers run this class of holster where a duty rig would print or snag.

Common questions
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 19 with its weapon light in place. Run the exact pistol/light pairing before ordering — a bare pistol in a light-bearing shell will sit loose.
Is it available left-handed?
This listing is right hand-hand only as stocked. Ask the Network if you need the opposite-hand SKU — Safariland builds most models both ways.
Does it need a break-in period?
No. The shell is molded to the firearm, so retention is set by the locking hardware rather than friction — fit is correct out of the box.
