SHOT Show 2015: Three new holsters by Safariland

Building on its successful line of concealment holsters with internal retention systems, Safariland presentes two new products, the 537 GLS and 547 PRD Open Top Concealment Belt Slide Holsters, at tSHOT Show.

The 537 GLS Open Top Concealment Belt Slide Holster features Safariland’s unique Grip Lock System (GLS), an innovative technology that automatically secures a handgun when holstered and releases it upon application of the middle finger with a standard shooting grip for a more intuitive and safer release. The holster is designed for the ultimate experience in custom fit and comfort, featuring tension adjustment for tailoring handgun fit and a soft flexible holster body that molds around the wearer.


The 547 PRD Open Top Concealment Belt Slide Holster is engineered with a low profile and wide weight disbursement for comfort and concealability. The Pinch Retention Device (PRD) secures the holstered firearm by clamping on to both sides of the trigger guard when the gun is fully-seated, and releases it upon initiation of the draw by pulling through the device.

Both holsters fit 1.5” (38mm) belt loops. The Model 537 GLS version is available in Plain Black finish, while the 547 PRD concealment model is available in all STX finishes.
New is also the Safariland GLS (Grip Locking System) Pro-Fit holster, a single holster with internal retention for multiple handguns.

Designed to fit more than 60 firearms based on barrel length and be customizable for a perfect fit, the 578 GLS Pro-Fit features an innovative technology that automatically secures the weapon when holstered and releases it upon application of the middle finger with a standard shooting grip for a more intuitive and safer release. It’s the only holster on the market that can fit a wide variety of handguns with a secure and easy-to-use GLS lock up.

Building on the recent success of the GLS and 7TS holster lines, Safariland continues to innovate by combining these two unique features in the 578,” said Scott Carnahan, Vice President, Equipment Category. “As a multi-fit holster, it’s available to a wide variety of our users, making this revolutionary safety-enhancing technology more accessible than ever.”

The 578 Pro-Fit holster body is constructed with SafariSeven material featured in the 7TS line of holsters.  This lightweight, state-of-the-art nylon blend is completely non-abrasive to a gun’s finish, tolerant of extreme high and low temperatures, and easy to maintain.

The low-cut and compact 578 Pro-Fit holster rides close to the user’s body for concealment while still providing easy access for a quick draw. The holster includes an injection-molded paddle and an injection-molded belt loop that is adjustable for maximum comfort and allows the holster to be worn cross-draw. The 578 GLS Pro-Fit is available in SafariSeven Plain Black and FDE Brown finishes. Four fits are available that fit a wide array of Glock and S&W handguns.
