Safariland 7378 ALS Holster

The ALS is a passive retention device that automatically engages the ejection port of your firearm the moment you holster it. To release the weapon, you simply press the thumb-operated lever as you establish your grip, allowing for a smooth, natural draw without needing to manually disengage a strap or hood.

Yes, SafariSeven is a proprietary nylon blend specifically engineered to be incredibly tough and weather-resistant. It is non-abrasive to your firearm's finish and maintains its structural integrity in extreme heat or freezing cold, making it a reliable choice for daily use.

Not at all. While the top is open for faster access, the ALS mechanism provides active retention that keeps the firearm securely locked in place until you deliberately release it. You get the speed of an open-top holster with the security of a retention holster.

The stand-offs create a small gap between the holster body and your firearm. This space allows dirt, debris, and moisture to fall away from the weapon rather than getting trapped against the finish, which helps prevent corrosion and ensures the holster functions reliably in harsh environments.

The 7378 is a paddle-style holster, which sits slightly further away from the body than a dedicated inside-the-waistband holster. While it is excellent for range use or open carry, it may require a loose-fitting cover garment to effectively conceal it.
