The Safariland 6378 ALS holster delivers secure weapon retention with instant access for Glock 17 and 22 pistols equipped with Surefire X300 tactical lights. This paddle-style holster combines Safariland's proven Automatic Locking System with SafariLaminate construction for duty-grade performance.
What Makes This Different
The ALS (Automatic Locking System) secures the firearm immediately upon holstering without requiring manual manipulation of straps, snaps, or hoods. Unlike traditional retention holsters that rely on friction or thumb breaks, the ALS locks onto the trigger guard and releases only when the operator's thumb naturally falls during the draw stroke. This system provides Level II retention while maintaining a smooth, consistent draw every time.
Key Features
- Automatic Locking System (ALS) provides Level II retention with intuitive thumb release
- SafariLaminate construction resists scratches, chemicals, and extreme temperatures
- Specifically molded for Glock 17/22 with Surefire X300 tactical light
- Paddle attachment system allows quick on/off without removing belt
- Adjustable cant from 0 to 15 degrees for optimal draw angle
- Suede lining protects firearm finish during holstering and drawing
- Right-hand configuration with thumb-activated release mechanism
Field testing demonstrates consistent lock-up and release across temperature ranges from -40°F to 300°F. The holster maintains weapon security during physical activity while allowing sub-second draws when properly trained. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in patrol, tactical, and investigative roles where weapon retention and quick access remain critical.
