Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit Wide Frame Holster w/Long Slide Paddle & Belt Loop, Plain 578-450-411, Black

Great fast holster.

So I will start out by saying this holster is made to fit a wide variety of pistols but I wouldn’t buy it as a sort of “one size fits all” type holster. That being said I got this pistol for my Jericho 941F which doesn’t have many holster options. I really wanted a Safariland holster for it because I am pretty bought into that ecosystem (which I will say is excellent). Here’s a short list of the pros and cons I’ve seen thus far.Pros:1) Fits pistols that may not have dedicated holsters from safariland allowing you to use the QLS (in my case a Jericho 941)2) fairly easy to set up and adjust to fit your pistol3) overall simple to use with one exception which I’ll talk about in the cons4) same quality you’d expect from safarilandCons:1) the way you adjust it to hold your pistol in place may not be too durable. You basically tighten a screw close to the bottom of the holster that pushed on a plastic strip to make sure your pistol doesn’t rattle around in the holster. While this is great for adjustability, in disassembling my holster I noticed it was already starting to crack from how far I had to adjust it to fit my Jericho. So don’t play around with it too much, find a comfortable level of resistance and don’t move it. This also plays into why I don’t think it’d be a good multi-pistol holster.2) the way your pistol locks in is there a see-saw style tab that ideally is supposed to sit flush when you pull your pistol out and has a tab at the bottom that when you re-holster pushes the top tab back out to lock in your pistol. What I’ve found, and this could be unique to the Jericho, is that the top tab doesn’t always push all the way in meaning to re-holster your pistol you have to either push it in manually or more annoyingly push the unlocking paddle then push the top tab back in. Annoying but not the end of the world.Both of these reasons are why I say if you are looking at this to be a sort of one size fits all holster which you can adjust “on the fly” I’d recommend getting a dedicated holster if one already exists. For example this holster could fit both my M9 Beretta and my Jericho, but I’d much rather have a dedicated M9 holster and this one strictly for the Jericho.Overall this is a good holster if you want to stay in the safariland ecosystem with a pistol that doesn’t already have a dedicated holster. I love that I can use this with all the mounting options I already have for safariland and I’m very happy this option exists. It’s not without its quirks but I am definitely happy with my purchase.Also a tip for anyone using this with a Jericho 941F, use the trigger shim. If you look up the fitting list on safarilands website it says you don’t need to use the shim. I highly recommend using it, the second issue I stated in the cons section is helped by using said shim.

The GLS locking system is phenomenal. I have used multiple other locking holsters, including Safariland’s ALS, and none of them come close to the GLS. It secures reliably and completely, and releases so naturally without affecting draw or muscle memory. The low height on the front of the holster allows for red dots AND importantly reduces snagging on suppressor-height sights. I combine this with a QLS so I can switch which gun is on my belt and move from belt to belt mount in a snap (lol).Plus, this one comes in tan. What’s not to love!

Wilson Brigadier wouldn't fit into the ALS holster intended for Beretta 92 style pistols. This fits well after adjustment with the wrench. You can make very small adjustments with the tension screw until it doesn't move in the holster while still achieving a smooth draw. Used to ALS style holsters but this seems pretty intuitive as it releases the pistol as take your usual purchase on the grip, would recommend for large frame pistols.

Nice product at a great price!

I bought this for something I can throw in my range bag. As with anything that is designed to cover a wide range of sizes, you will have to deal with the bit of fiddling and adjusting. It's not "perfect" for any one piece, but I have been able to use it with a variety of handguns and it retains them as expected.Safariland has a great reputation for quality, and I don't see any issues with this item that would change my opinion on that!

Very easy to use holds gun firmly. Would highly recommend for any other 9m owners

I purchased this holster several months ago and I thought that it met my need until recently. The GLS system really only retains your firearm from falling out of the holster not from a person or an inanimate object pulling it out. I had the unfortunate of experience of brushing up against a chain used to manually open a rollup door. The chain got caught around the grip of the gun and de-pressed the GLS, as I continued to walk, my gun was pulled from the holster and hit the ground. The optic is now shattered and thankfully the manufacture is covering the repair under their warranty.The chain was an anomaly but every car seatbelt could do the same thing if you are not careful.I prefer and recommend the Safariland ALS holsters but they are not available for enough configurations of firearms.

Bought for a girsan MC28 and after adjusting the tension and what not it fits perfectly. The release works great and it feels super sturdy. Good buy
