The Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit holster delivers automatic weapon retention and rapid deployment for CZ 75 pistols through its innovative Grip Lock System. This ambidextrous platform accommodates over 175 different handgun models while maintaining the precise fit and security that duty professionals demand.
What Makes This Different
The patented GLS (Grip Lock System) automatically secures the firearm upon holstering and releases with a natural shooting grip - no thumb breaks or manual releases required. Unlike traditional retention holsters that rely on friction or mechanical locks, the GLS activates through the shooter's middle finger during the draw stroke. This design reduces draw time by up to 0.2 seconds compared to Level II thumb-break holsters while providing superior weapon retention.
Key Features
- GLS automatic retention system activates on holstering, releases during natural draw
- Pro-Fit design accommodates CZ 75, CZ 75B, CZ SP-01, and similar frame configurations
- Flat Dark Earth SafariSeven nylon construction resists chemicals, temperature extremes
- Dual belt/paddle mounting system fits 1.5" to 1.75" duty belts
- Ambidextrous design allows cross-draw configuration without modifications
- Open muzzle design accommodates threaded barrels and compensators
- Raised sight track prevents front sight damage during holstering
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-second draw times while maintaining positive retention through inversion tests and 50-pound pull resistance. The holster performs reliably in temperatures from -40°F to +300°F, making it suitable for patrol duty, competitive shooting, and concealed carry applications. The SafariSeven material maintains structural integrity after exposure to common cleaning solvents and automotive fluids.
