Gunner's Review of Safariland 6378 ALS Paddle Holster for Glock
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.
