Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster work with a Glock 48 MOS equipped with a red-dot sight?
Yes. The Safariland Species IWB Holster is specifically designed to be optic-compatible. It accommodates a wide range of popular micro red-dot sights including the Romeo Zero, Trijicon RMR CC, Shield RMS and RMS-C, Holosun 407K and 507K, Swampfox Sentinel, Hex Wasp, J-Point, and Crimson Trace 1550, among others with a similar footprint.
How do I adjust the retention on the Species holster?
The Species features a dual-function tension adjustment system controlled by a retention screw. Using a standard screwdriver, you can tighten or loosen the screw to increase or decrease draw resistance until you find the balance of security and speed that suits your carry preference. This allows the holster to be personalized to your exact needs without tools beyond a basic screwdriver.
Is the Safariland Species compatible with a Glock 48 fitted with a threaded barrel or compensator?
The Species IWB Holster is thermally molded to fit the standard Glock 48 profile. While it accommodates supported optics, it is not designed to clear a threaded barrel or muzzle compensator that extends beyond the factory barrel length. For modified configurations, we recommend verifying fitment before use or contacting Safariland directly for guidance.
