Safariland's Model 578 GLS Pro-Fit holster features the innovative Grip Lock System for automatic weapon security and intuitive middle-finger release. Constructed of lightweight SafariSeven nylon, it fits long-slide handguns like Glock 34/35/17L. Includes adjustable paddle and belt loop for cross-draw capability.
The Model 578 represents a thoughtful approach to outside-the-waistband carry, combining two proven technologies into a single, versatile platform.
The GLS (Grip Lock System) is the standout feature here. It automatically secures your weapon when holstered, then releases cleanly when you apply your middle finger with a standard shooting grip. This design is intuitive—your natural draw motion activates the release without requiring you to think about a secondary manipulation. For those concerned with retention and safety, this is a meaningful advancement.
The holster body is built from SafariSeven, a lightweight nylon blend engineered to be completely non-abrasive to your firearm's finish. It handles temperature extremes without degradation and requires minimal maintenance—simply wipe clean as needed.
The Pro-Fit design adjusts to accommodate a wide variety of firearms, making it a practical choice if your collection grows. For this configuration, it's sized for long-slide handguns similar to the Glock 34, 35, and 17L.
The holster includes both an injection-molded paddle and an adjustable belt loop, allowing you to choose your carry method. The adjustable belt loop also permits cross-draw positioning for those who prefer it.
