Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Safariland Species IWB holster work with a Glock 43X fitted with an optic?
Yes — the Species IWB is designed to be optic-compatible out of the box. It accommodates popular micro red dot sights including the Romeo Zero, Holosun 407K and 507K, Shield RMS and RMS-C, Trijicon RMR CC, Hex Wasp, Swampfox Sentinal, J-Point, and Crimson Trace 1550, among other similarly sized optics. If you're running a less common optic, compare its footprint to those listed to confirm compatibility.
How does the tension adjustment work, and can I make the draw looser or firmer?
The Species holster features an integrated tension adjustment system that uses a cord-and-retention mechanism to let you dial in exactly how much resistance you want on the draw stroke. Tightening the adjustment increases retention for more active or physical use, while loosening it allows for a smoother, faster draw. This dual-function system also works in conjunction with the passive trigger guard retention to keep your firearm secure regardless of tension setting.
Is this holster suitable for appendix carry (AIWB), or is it designed for strong-side IWB only?
The Safariland Species IWB was specifically engineered with a minimalist profile that makes it well-suited for appendix inside-the-waistband (AIWB) carry, in addition to traditional strong-side IWB positions. Its reduced bulk in key areas minimizes printing and improves comfort when worn at the 1–2 o'clock position. As always, safe appendix carry requires proper training and consistent use of good holstering habits.
