Reviews & Ratings for Safariland 6378 ALS Paddle Holster for Glock — 28 reviews — Page 1

Awesome holster. I carry it with the paddle worn option. Once you put it on it is there to stay. It stays put on your hip very tight and I like that about it. Only thing I wish the belt worn option was big enough to fit a police duty belt.

This holster fits my Glock pistol as advertised. I like the retention lock and the fact that it is easy to operate with the thumb as you draw. The paddle feature goes on and off easy and stays put. I would buy this again and give it five stars.

This holster is pretty basic - just a polymer shell with decent mounting options (belt or paddle both included). It has a thin suede lining to help protect your pistol's finish, which I could live without, but it's not horrible (I'd prefer unlined as I'm usually shooting outdoors, so if the lining gets wet and/or filled with range grit, it's actually harder on the finish than unlined kydex). The paddle is OK, and grabs onto a belt reasonably firmly; if you want a complete "no movement" mounting system, use the included belt slide attachment.

Where the holster excels is in a balance of speed and retention. Safariland's ALS system is intuitive and fast, and doesn't put any fingers anywhere near the trigger guard, unlike some other designs. Once snapped into the holster, the pistol is NOT coming out without deactivating the ALS, but a simple swipe of the thumb during the draw lets your pistol pop right out into your master grip.

As an added advantage for the Glock family, this holster will fit anything in the 9/40/357 frame size (except the G42/43) - from my G34 down to my G26, so I can strap it on at the beginning of a multi-pistol qualification/training day and shoot all my Glocks without having to change holsters.

Overall, for the price, it's pretty darned hard to beat.

The holster works well with easy weapon release. Once on the waist it holds its location well but can be difficult to slide on your belt while wearing the belt. It's relative small size adds to the comfort of wearing the holster.

I received the holster quickly and in perfect condition from OpticsPlanet. My overall impression is quite positive. The holster is well constructed and simple to use. I must admit that I am new to paddle holsters and having said that I was not impressed with the paddle. However, I am quite pleased with the belt loop mount (Holster came with both). The holster itself it almost everything I had hoped for. My Glock is retained positively, yet easily released with the thumb release mechanism when gripping the pistol normally (without your trigger finger being used as with some other models). The only real negative that I have found is that a shoulder harness mount is not available for this holster - A complete and separate holster must be purchased. I am considering purchasing the shoulder rig, but it bothers me that Safariland doesn't make this available... perhaps they have a reason (other than greed)? Time will tell...

The holster is at a good price and is perfect for my off-duty needs. It meets all the safety requirements my agency has for off-duty holsters. It is secure on your waist with the paddle and it also comes with a belt-loop module. The ALS makes it safe and is easy to release when needed.

Bought this holster for my Glock 30. Works Great. Gun fits snugly, and holster rides nice on my side, and cannot be pulled off by an attacker. I can run with the gun in the holster, and the gun will not fall out.

This is exactly what I was looking for for. It has great security, very durable, and accommodates left handed users. If your left handed using a G19 or G23, this is your carry holster if your using a light.

I have used these for years, this model provides excellent consistent draws and re-holster of the firearm. During training classes the holster remains secure in the same place and the retention is easy to operate. This is a quality product.

This holster is a fine addition for any one's Glock 19 carry. Firearm locks in nicely, access to the firearm is near perfect, smooth release and draw, lined to protect your firearms coating, really found no problem with this holster. Feel this holster is all you can ask for and am glad to of found this one.
