Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Grip Lock System (GLS) retention work?
The GLS automatically locks the firearm in place the moment it's holstered — no manual snaps or buttons required. To draw, simply apply pressure with your middle finger against the release lever as you establish a natural shooting grip. This motion is intuitive and fast, allowing for a smooth, confident draw without breaking your grip technique or requiring extra fine-motor steps under stress.
Which handguns are compatible with the Safariland 578 Pro-Fit?
The 578 Pro-Fit is designed to accommodate over 60 popular semi-automatic handguns, including models from Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, Springfield Armory, Sig Sauer, and more. The holster body is adjustable so you can dial in the fit for your specific firearm. Safariland's website maintains an up-to-date compatibility chart — always verify your exact model and variant before purchasing.
Can I switch between the paddle and belt loop attachments?
Yes. The Safariland 578 ships with both an injection-molded paddle and an injection-molded belt loop, and both are designed for tool-free swapping in most configurations. The belt loop is adjustable for cant and ride height, giving you flexibility to position the holster for your preferred carry style — whether open carry on a duty belt or range use with a standard trouser belt up to 1.75" wide.
