Safariland Model 557: built for the Glock 17
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 17 in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 557 is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 17 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
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.
Is this a duty or concealment holster?
Concealment — check the ride and belt attachment in the specs to confirm it matches how you intend to wear it.
