Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Safariland Species fit my Glock 19 if it has an optic mounted?
Yes — the Species IWB holster is fully optic-compatible. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of popular micro red dots including the Holosun 407K and 507K, Shield RMS and RMS-C, Trijicon RMR CC, Hex Wasp, Romeo Zero, Swampfox Sentinel, J-Point, and Crimson Trace CTS-1550, as well as similarly sized optics. If you're unsure whether your specific optic is compatible, compare its footprint to those listed above.
How do I adjust the retention on the Safariland Species holster?
The Species features a dual-function tension adjustment system that allows you to dial in your preferred draw resistance. Using the adjustment screw on the holster body, you can tighten or loosen the passive retention to match your carry preference — whether you want a light, smooth draw for competition-style carry or a more secure hold for active daily carry. No tools beyond a small screwdriver are typically required.
Is the Safariland Species comfortable enough for all-day concealed carry?
Absolutely. The Species was engineered with everyday carry comfort in mind. Its minimalist design trims bulk in key areas to reduce printing and pressure points against the body, while the suede interior lining prevents the holster from scratching your Glock 19's finish. The slim Boltaron shell sits close to the body without adding unnecessary thickness, making it one of the more comfortable IWB options in Safariland's lineup for extended wear.
