Shadow Systems CR920XP compatibility with a Glock 48 Holster?


When selecting a concealed carry pistol, size, capacity, and performance are crucial—but so is holster compatibility. Two popular concealed carry options, the Shadow Systems CR920XP and the Glock 48, may seem similar in some ways, but they differ in key design aspects that affect holster fitment. In this guide, we’ll break down how these pistols compare and what to consider when choosing a holster. Does a Shadow Systems CR920XP fit in a Glock 19 holster??? Lets find out!


Shadow Systems CR920XP Holster Compatibility & Fitment

While both the CR920XP and Glock 48 are great for concealed carry, they are not cross-compatible when it comes to holsters. The primary reason? The CR920XP has an extended dust cover, making it incompatible with standard Glock 48 holsters.

  • CR920XP: Requires a holster specifically designed for its extended dust cover and compensator.

  • Glock 48: Works with a variety of Glock 48-specific holsters, including options for the MOS variant and those accommodating aftermarket sights.

If you own a Glock 48, you have a wider selection of holsters available, including IWB, AIWB, and OWB options. However, if you carry a CR920XP, make sure your holster is designed for its unique frame to ensure proper fit, retention, and safety.

Size & Concealability

Both pistols are essentially the same dimensions except for the added dust cover. This extended dust cover affects holster compatibility, requiring a holster designed specifically for this model. However, since all other dimensions are the same if made properly, a Glock 48 WILL fit into a CR920XP Holster.


Capacity & Firepower

  • Shadow Systems CR920XP: Comes with a 15+1capacity.

  • Glock 48: Standard 10+1 capacity but can use 15-round Shield Arms S15 magazines.


Optics & Customization

  • CR920XP: Comes optics-ready from the factory, allowing easy red dot mounting for virtually any red dot without the need of a mounting plate.

  • Glock 48: Has an MOS variant available, but the standard model requires slide milling for optics.
