Frequently Asked Questions
Which weapon-mounted lights are compatible with the Alien Gear Photon Holster?
The Photon holster is designed to accommodate a variety of popular weapon-mounted lights and lasers, including models from Streamlight and SureFire. Because compatibility can vary by specific light model, Alien Gear Holsters lists approved WML options on their website. We recommend confirming your specific light model is supported before purchasing.
Can I use this holster for both concealed and open carry?
Yes. The Photon's modular attachment system is one of its standout features — it supports both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) configurations. You can swap between carry styles by changing the attachment hardware, making it one of the most versatile holster platforms available for the Glock 19/23/44/45.
Will this holster fit my Glock 19 if it has an aftermarket optic installed?
The Alien Gear Photon is built optics-ready, meaning the shell is cut to clear most standard red dot footprints commonly mounted on Glock pistols, such as the Trijicon RMR and Holosun 507C. However, oversized or non-standard optic mounts may affect fitment, so it's worth verifying your specific optic's dimensions against Alien Gear's compatibility guide if you're running a less common sight.
