Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster fit the SIG P365XL if I have a red dot sight installed?
Yes — the Safariland Species is specifically designed to be Red Dot Sight (RDS) compatible for the P365XL. The Kydex shell is thermally molded with an open cutout that accommodates popular factory and aftermarket optics without requiring modification to the holster.
How do I adjust the retention on the Species IWB holster?
The holster features an integrated adjustable passive retention system at the trigger guard. Using the included hardware, you can increase or decrease the tension to achieve your preferred draw resistance — whether you want a lighter competition-style pull or a more secure daily carry hold. The adaptable tension device also allows for fine-tuning overall firearm fit within the holster body.
Can I carry this holster in positions other than appendix?
Absolutely. While the Species excels in appendix inside-the-waistband (AIWB) carry due to its low-profile design, the fully cant-adjustable and vertically adjustable belt clip gives you the freedom to position the holster anywhere along your waistband — including strong-side hip (3–4 o'clock) or cross-draw — to find the angle and depth that suits your body type and draw preference.
