Hey everyone, I just put together a gun belt/war belt setup. I currently carry a Glock 19 with a TRL-1 light using a Safariland Level 1 retention holster (I don’t recall the exact model). I’d like to swap the Glock 19 for my Beretta M9A4.

Right now I have a JM Custom OWB holster for the M9A4, but the belt loops on it are too small for my gun belt (which is 1.75” wide). I’m planning to contact JM Custom to see if I can order larger belt loops that will fit my belt.

I know Safariland makes a holster that would fit the M9A4, but their option comes as a kit and is over $200.

From your experience, do I have any other options for mounting my M9A4 to my belt? I really like the Safariland style of mounting system. I’d also like to keep the light attached to the pistol while it’s holstered.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

KT-Mech is my go-to for odd holster applications. This thread reminds me that I still need one for my M9A4.

Has anyone used or have feedback on C and G holsters?  They make one for the A4/TRL1 combo and the price is around $100.

ANR is fantastic.  Took a little bit to get it, I think they make them on demand, but worth the wait.

Is that a for a full size M9A4? Do you know if the same model would work for a Centurion? I’ve reached out to ANR and am waiting for response.

Thanks!

I've been using the midwest tactical solutions enforcer os holster for my beretta. Mounts with the safariland ubl/qls system and has a sls hood for level 2 retention.

Those are just regular thin single layer kydex with a SLS hood attached at a nearly safariland price.  Why not just get the real thing?

Safarilands weren't compatible with threaded barrels or comps last I checked.

I couldn't find a Safariland that said it would fit with a threaded barrel and an optic.  So I found the ANR and it works perfectly.

US Duty gear got you covered.
They purchased the old safariland plant and make similar quality duty holsters.
