Safariland 20896131 Species Iwb Black Fits Glock 48 4.17" Barrel Right Hand

The Safariland Species IWB holster for Glock 48 is a purpose-built inside-the-waistband carry solution designed for shooters who refuse to compromise between concealment and functionality. Built on Safariland's reputation for quality and backed by their thermal-molded SafariLaminate construction, the Species delivers a minimalist footprint without sacrificing the durability and retention you expect from a professional-grade holster. This right-hand, appendix-carry-friendly design keeps the gun tight to your body and out of the way, making it an ideal choice for daily carry or range trips where you want something that disappears under a cover garment.

What sets the Species apart is its adaptable design philosophy. The integrated passive trigger guard retention and adjustable tension device let you dial in your draw feel and reholstering security exactly how you like it—not locked into one manufacturer's guess at your preference. The suede lining protects your Glock 48's finish while maintaining positive firearm control, and the fully adjustable mounting clip handles both cant and vertical positioning to match your body and carry style. If you're running an optic on your Glock 48, the Species is compatible with common compact red dots including Holosun 407K and 507K, RMR variants, and other similar-sized sights, so you won't have to ditch your setup.

Keeping appendix carry comfortable means staying compact where it counts. The Species achieves that minimalist profile by stripping away bulk in the areas that matter most to IWB carriers, while the Boltaron material handles the durability load. It fits standard 1.5-inch belt widths and is molded specifically for the Glock 48's 4.17-inch barrel, ensuring a precise fit you won't find in universal or one-size-fits-many designs.
