Safariland Solis 1 RDS Holster for Glock 17 w/ Red Dot - Black

The Safariland Solis 1 RDS holster delivers secure retention and rapid deployment for Glock 17 pistols equipped with red dot optics. This duty-grade holster accommodates popular reflex sights while maintaining the legendary Safariland retention system that law enforcement professionals depend on.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard holsters that require sight removal or modifications, the Solis 1 RDS features an open-top design specifically engineered for optics-ready pistols. The holster's retention mechanism secures the trigger guard and frame rather than relying on sight channels, ensuring consistent lockup regardless of optic height. This design eliminates the common issues of sight interference and inconsistent draw stroke that plague modified holsters.

Key Features

• ALS (Automatic Locking System) retention with thumb-activated release
• Open-top design accommodates red dot sights up to 1.5 inches tall
• SafariSeven nylon construction resists chemicals, moisture, and temperature extremes
• Compatible with Glock 17 and similar-sized frames
• Suede lining protects firearm finish during holstering
• Low-ride design positions grip closer to body for concealment
• Accepts Safariland mounting hardware for duty belts and tactical platforms

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-second draw times while maintaining positive retention through dynamic movement. The holster performs reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 300°F, making it suitable for patrol duty, competitive shooting, and tactical applications. The ALS mechanism engages automatically upon holstering and releases with natural thumb placement during the draw stroke.
