Frequently Asked Questions
What handguns are compatible with the Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit?
The 578 Pro-Fit is designed to accommodate over 60 different handguns through its adjustable fit system. It is compatible with most full-size and compact semi-automatic pistols from manufacturers including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and more. Refer to Safariland's official fit guide to confirm compatibility with your specific model and variant.
How does the Grip Lock System (GLS) retention work?
The GLS retention mechanism automatically locks the firearm in place the moment it is holstered — no manual snapping or adjusting required. To draw, simply apply your middle finger to the release lever as you establish a natural shooting grip. This motion disengages the lock and allows a smooth, fast draw without requiring a separate thumb-break or button, making it both intuitive and secure under stress.
Can I switch between the paddle and belt loop attachments?
Yes. The Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit includes both an injection-molded paddle and an injection-molded belt loop, both of which are adjustable. You can swap between the two attachment styles depending on your carry preference, clothing, or duty requirements, giving you greater flexibility in how and where you carry your firearm.
