Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster fit a 1911 with a rail or aftermarket modifications?
The Safariland 7378 7TS is molded specifically for the standard 1911 5" platform. Aftermarket additions such as weapon lights, suppressors, or extended guide rods may affect fit and retention. Safariland offers light-bearing variants for popular rail-mounted lights — contact us if you need help finding the right fit for your modified 1911.
How does the ALS retention system work compared to a traditional thumb-break?
Unlike a thumb-break strap that must be unsnapped before drawing, Safariland's Automatic Locking System (ALS) locks the firearm securely in the holster the moment it's fully seated — no manual snapping required. To draw, simply rotate your thumb inward to press the release lever as you naturally acquire your shooting grip, then draw in one fluid motion. This results in a faster, more consistent draw than traditional retention systems.
Is SafariSeven material better than traditional Kydex or leather holsters?
SafariSeven is a proprietary nylon blend engineered to outperform both Kydex and leather in key areas. It remains pliable and maintains its shape across a wide temperature range — from freezing cold to intense heat — without becoming brittle or warping. Unlike Kydex, it won't scratch or mar your firearm's finish, and unlike leather, it won't absorb moisture or require break-in time. For most duty and carry applications, SafariSeven offers an excellent combination of durability, firearm protection, and long-term reliability.
