The Safariland 20-283 Species Holster delivers tactical-grade retention and rapid deployment for Glock 19 pistols in demanding environments. Built with Cordura nylon construction and woodland camouflage pattern, this holster bridges the gap between duty reliability and field concealment.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer holsters, the Species series combines Safariland's proven ALS (Automatic Locking System) with lightweight textile construction. The Cordura exterior resists abrasion and moisture while maintaining a lower profile than hard-shell alternatives. Internal SafariLaminate construction provides consistent weapon retention across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F.
Key Features
- ALS automatic locking system secures weapon upon holstering with audible click confirmation
- Cordura nylon shell with woodland digital camouflage pattern for field operations
- SafariLaminate internal construction maintains shape and protects trigger guard
- Adjustable cant from 0° to 15° forward for optimal draw angle
- Belt loop attachment accommodates duty belts up to 2.25 inches wide
- Fits Glock 19, 23, and 32 with or without tactical lights
- Sweat guard protects weapon finish and user comfort during extended wear
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-second draw times while maintaining Level II retention security. The textile construction reduces weight by 40% compared to Safariland's polymer holsters without sacrificing retention strength. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in urban patrol, rural operations, and undercover assignments where hard holsters create printing issues.
