Safariland 6378 ALS Paddle Holster S&W J-Frame Right Hand Black

The Safariland 6378 ALS paddle holster delivers secure weapon retention and rapid deployment for Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers. This right-hand configuration combines the proven ALS (Automatic Locking System) with SafariLaminate construction for professional-grade performance.

What Makes This Different

The ALS mechanism automatically secures the firearm upon holstering and releases with natural thumb pressure during the draw stroke. Unlike traditional thumb-break holsters that require two-handed manipulation, the ALS system allows for consistent one-handed operation under stress. The SafariLaminate construction provides a smooth interior finish that protects the firearm's finish while maintaining structural integrity through thousands of draw cycles.

Key Features

• ALS automatic locking system secures weapon without manual activation
• SafariLaminate thermoplastic construction resists wear and impact
• Paddle attachment system fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide
• Suede lining protects firearm finish during holstering and drawing
• Straight-drop carry angle optimizes draw ergonomics
• Adjustable tension screw customizes retention pressure
• Compatible with all S&W J-Frame models including 442, 642, and 638

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-second draw times with the ALS system across various environmental conditions. The paddle design distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing pressure points during extended carry periods. Law enforcement agencies report reliable function through temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F without retention failure.
