Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit OWB Holster FDE Right Hand 4.3-6" Barrel

The Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit delivers secure retention and rapid deployment for duty and concealed carry applications. This outside-the-waistband holster accommodates pistols with barrel lengths from 4.30 to 6.02 inches, providing versatility across multiple firearm platforms.

What Makes This Different

The GLS (Grip Lock System) technology automatically secures the firearm upon holstering and releases with a natural drawing motion using the middle finger. Unlike traditional thumb-break systems that require additional hand movements, the GLS maintains consistent muscle memory while providing Level II retention security. The Pro-Fit design eliminates the need for weapon-specific molding, reducing inventory requirements for departments and agencies.

Key Features

• GLS automatic locking system provides Level II retention without manual manipulation
• Pro-Fit design accommodates multiple pistol models with 4.30-6.02 inch barrels
• Flat Dark Earth polymer construction resists impact and weather exposure
• Paddle attachment system allows rapid on/off capability without belt removal
• Right-hand draw configuration with adjustable cant angle
• Compatible with tactical lights and laser attachments
• Low-profile design reduces printing for plainclothes applications

Field testing demonstrates consistent lock-up across different pistol models, from compact service weapons to full-size duty guns. The polymer construction maintains structural integrity in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 160°F, making it suitable for patrol, detective work, and security applications. The paddle system distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing fatigue during extended wear periods.
