Frequently Asked Questions
Which weapon lights is the Safariland 6378 compatible with for the Glock 17?
The 6378 is designed to accommodate the Glock 17 with a specific weapon-mounted light — compatibility varies by SKU and model number. Common compatible lights include popular options from Streamlight and SureFire. Always verify the exact model number of your light against Safariland's fit guide before purchasing to ensure a proper, secure fit.
How does the ALS retention system work, and is it difficult to learn?
The Automatic Locking System (ALS) automatically locks the firearm in place the moment it is holstered — no manual snaps or straps required. To draw, you simply deactivate the ALS by pressing the release lever with your thumb as you establish your shooting grip, then draw straight up. Most shooters find the motion natural after minimal practice, and it strikes an excellent balance between weapon security and draw speed.
Can this holster be used for concealed carry, or is it better suited for open carry?
The 6378's injection-molded paddle and close-to-body ride height make it more concealable than traditional duty holsters, but it is primarily designed for OWB (outside-the-waistband) carry. It is an excellent choice for open carry, range use, and duty applications. While it can be worn under a cover garment, those prioritizing deep concealment may prefer a dedicated IWB holster. Note that weapon-light-equipped firearms are generally not recommended for concealed carry due to increased bulk.
