The Safariland Solis ALS OWB holster delivers automatic locking system security for Glock 19 pistols in a streamlined outside-the-waistband design. This left-hand configuration combines Level 2 retention with rapid presentation capabilities for duty and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The Automatic Locking System (ALS) secures the firearm immediately upon holstering without requiring manual activation of thumb breaks or retention straps. The internal locking mechanism engages the trigger guard automatically, while the ALS lever allows for a straight-up draw when activated by the thumb. This system provides faster presentation times compared to traditional thumb-break holsters while maintaining positive weapon retention.

Field testing demonstrates consistent lock-up across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without mechanism failure. The holster maintains retention through physical stress tests including running, climbing, and ground contact scenarios. Draw times average 0.3 seconds faster than comparable thumb-break systems while providing equivalent security levels.
