The Safariland 6378 ALS Paddle Holster delivers proven retention technology specifically engineered for the Sig Sauer P226R. This duty-grade holster combines the patented Automatic Locking System with SafariLaminate construction for reliable weapon security and quick deployment.
What Makes This Different
The ALS (Automatic Locking System) sets this holster apart from standard friction-retention designs by mechanically locking the firearm in place once holstered. The weapon locks automatically upon insertion and releases only when the ALS lever is pressed while drawing in a natural shooting grip. This system prevents takeaway attempts while maintaining fast, consistent draw times under stress. SafariLaminate construction provides the durability of Kydex with enhanced scratch resistance.
Key Features
- Patented ALS retention system locks weapon automatically upon holstering
- SafariLaminate construction resists scratches and maintains finish integrity
- Paddle attachment system fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide
- Precision-molded specifically for Sig Sauer P226R with tactical light compatibility
- Suede lining protects firearm finish during insertion and drawing
- Open-top design allows rapid presentation while maintaining security
- Adjustable cant allows customization for optimal draw angle
Field testing demonstrates consistent lock-up and release performance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F. The ALS mechanism functions reliably even when contaminated with sand, mud, or debris commonly encountered in tactical environments. Law enforcement agencies report successful retention during physical altercations while maintaining sub-second draw times in qualification testing. The paddle design distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing pressure points during extended wear.
