Frequently Asked Questions
Which optics are compatible with the Safariland Species IWB Holster?
The Species is designed to accommodate a wide range of micro red-dot optics, including the Romeo Zero, RMR CC, Shield RMS and RMS-C, Swampfox Sentinel, Hex Wasp, Holosun 407K and 507K, J-Point, and Crimson Trace 1550. If your optic has a similar footprint to any of these, it will likely fit — but always verify before carry.
How do I adjust the retention tension on the Species holster?
The Species features an integrated tension adjustment screw located near the trigger guard area of the holster body. Using a small flat-head or hex screwdriver, you can tighten or loosen the screw to personalize the draw resistance to your preference — from a firm retention hold to a smoother, faster presentation.
Is the Safariland Species IWB Holster compatible with a Glock 19 with a threaded barrel or suppressor-height sights?
The Species is molded specifically to the standard Glock 19 profile and accommodates suppressor-height sights in most configurations. However, it is not designed for use with a threaded barrel that extends beyond the muzzle of the slide. If you run aftermarket components, confirm fitment before relying on this holster for carry.
