Safariland 575 IWB Pro-Fit Holster For S&W Shield 9/40/45 GLS Black RH
The Safariland 575 IWB Pro-Fit holster is a versatile inside-the-waistband option built for shooters who value both concealment and reliable retention. Designed to fit S&W Shield pistols in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, the 575 combines a low-profile cut with Safariland's Grip Lock System (GLS)—a mechanical retention feature that keeps your firearm secure until you establish your shooting grip. The GLS disengages naturally with your middle finger as you draw, meaning no extra steps or awkward button presses between presentation and firing.
What sets the 575 apart for everyday carry is its flexibility. The holster ships with two belt attachment options: an over-the-belt clip that strips off quickly for gun-only repositioning, and an under-the-belt loop for a more locked-in, tailored fit. The cant is fully adjustable, so you can dial in the angle that works with your body type, clothing, and preferred carry position—appendix, strong-side, or wherever feels natural. The compact, low-cut design keeps your pistol concealed under normal clothing while staying accessible.
The 575 is molded from SafariSeven, Safariland's proprietary nylon blend. It's designed to be gentle on your firearm's finish and handles temperature swings without degradation. Despite its minimalist appearance, it's optic-capable, so if your Shield runs a red dot, the holster accommodates it. Right-hand draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms does the Safariland 575 Pro-Fit holster fit?
The 575 is sized for S&W Shield pistols in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.
How does the Grip Lock System work?
The GLS is a mechanical retention system that locks the firearm in the holster. When you draw and obtain your normal shooting grip, your middle finger naturally deactivates the lock, allowing the pistol to clear the holster. No buttons or switches to manage—it's automatic.
Can I adjust the cant on the 575?
Yes. The cant is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the angle of the holster to match your preferred carry position and body type.
What belt loops come with the holster?
The 575 includes both an over-the-belt clip (designed for quick removal) and an under-the-belt loop (for a more secure, tailored attachment). You can use either based on your carry preference.
