Reason for Recall / Hazard

A plastic or leather strap on the gun holster can catch the trigger of the gun when inserted into the holster, causing the gun to unintentionally discharge, posing an injury hazard to the user.

Product Description & Identification

The gun holsters are designed to hold a Series 17 and Series 19 Glock handgun fitted with a laser-sight light. "GL 2*EMZ" is engraved in the top of the gun holster and "FOBUS" and "MADE IN ISRAEL" is printed on the back of the gun holster. This recall involves two early versions of the Fobus GLT gun holsters, one with a plastic retention strap less than one inch wide and one with a leather retention strap less than one inch wide. The new design includes a strap that is more than one inch wide, with a plastic tip too wide to be caught inside the trigger guard.
