Safariland Species: A New Generation of Inside-the-Waistband Carry

Safariland has engineered the Species as a purpose-built inside-the-waistband holster that strips away unnecessary bulk while maintaining the quality and durability the brand is known for. This is a holster designed for shooters who understand that appendix carry demands a compact, reliable platform.

Construction and Materials

SafariLaminate thermal-molded construction provides superior durability and longevity.

You control the feel—personalize both the draw and reholstering experience to match your technique and preferences. This level of customization is essential for serious carry guns.

Optics Ready

The holster is fully compatible with modern compact red dots, including Romeo Zero, RMR CC, Shield RMS, Shield RMS-C, Swampfox Sentinel, Hex Wasp, Holosun 407K, Holosun 507K, J-Point, Crimson Trace 1550, and similar optics. A sight channel accommodates standard-height iron sights.

Wear and Carry

The fully cantable and vertically adjustable mounting clip lets you dial in your preferred carry angle and position for maximum comfort. The holster fits standard 1.5-inch belt widths and is firearm-model specific for ideal fit and function.

The Bottom Line

The Species represents Safariland's commitment to modern carry solutions. It's built for the shooter who demands quality, reliability, and the ability to fine-tune every aspect of their carry system.
