Frequently Asked Questions
What handguns are compatible with the Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit?
The 578 Pro-Fit™ is engineered to fit over 60 popular handgun models, including most full-size and compact pistols from Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and more. The adjustable body allows you to customize the fit to your specific firearm's trigger guard dimensions. Check Safariland's official fit guide or contact Goodland Guns for confirmation on your specific model before purchasing.
How does the Grip Lock System (GLS™) work, and is it safe for everyday carry?
The GLS™ is a passive retention system that automatically locks the firearm in place the moment it is holstered — no manual engagement required. To draw, simply apply a natural shooting grip; your middle finger depresses the release lever as part of the normal draw stroke, freeing the weapon instantly. This design minimizes the risk of accidental retention failure while enabling a fast, consistent draw, making it well-suited for both daily carry and duty use.
Can I use this holster with a red dot sight or weapon light attached?
The standard Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit is designed to fit bare handguns or those with slim accessory profiles. Handguns equipped with full-size weapon lights (e.g., SureFire X300) or tall optics may not seat or retain properly. If you run a light or optic on your carry gun, look for Safariland's light-bearing or optic-cut Pro-Fit variants, or contact Goodland Guns for a recommendation on a model built to accommodate your specific configuration.
