Frequently Asked Questions
Which handguns are compatible with the Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit Compact holster?
The 578 GLS Pro-Fit Compact is designed to accommodate over 60 different handguns, including most popular compact and subcompact semi-automatic pistols such as the Glock 19/23, Smith & Wesson M&P Compact, Springfield XD Compact, and similar frame-size firearms. The adjustable Pro-Fit body can be tuned to securely fit your specific handgun — always verify your model against Safariland's compatibility list before purchasing.
How does the GLS Grip Lock System work, and is it easy to draw from?
The Grip Lock System (GLS) uses an internal locking mechanism that automatically engages and secures the firearm the moment it is seated in the holster — no manual re-locking required. To draw, you simply apply pressure with your middle finger against the release lever as you establish a natural shooting grip. This means the release motion is built into your draw stroke, making it faster and more intuitive than thumb-operated or button-release systems with practice.
Can this holster be used for both everyday carry and range training?
Yes. The 578 GLS Pro-Fit includes both a paddle attachment and an adjustable belt loop, giving you flexibility for different carry situations. The paddle offers tool-free on-and-off convenience ideal for range sessions, while the belt loop provides a more secure, low-profile fit suited for daily carry. The durable SafariSeven™ construction and reliable retention make it a practical choice for both applications.
