Safariland 6378 ALS PADDLE/BELT FOR GLOCK 19-23

The Safariland 6378 ALS paddle/belt holster for Glock 19-23 pistols strikes a practical balance between accessibility and retention—two qualities that matter when you're carrying daily in plainclothes work or as a sidearm. Unlike a simple open-top design, the 6378 adds the Automatic Locking System (ALS) to keep your gun secure the moment it's holstered, but the thumb-activated release lets you draw naturally without fumbling or re-gripping. It's the kind of honest engineering that makes sense for professionals and serious carry users who need speed and safety in the same holster.

Safariland built the 6378 tough. The outer shell uses SafariLaminate construction for durability through years of duty carry, while the interior is lined with SafariSuede to shield your front sight and finish from wear. That combination means your gun stays protected whether you're drawing dozens of times at the range or just carrying daily. The paddle attachment and belt loop both come in the box, so you can mount it your preferred way—paddle for quick on-and-off, belt loop for solid all-day carry. That versatility removes the guesswork about what works best for your rig.

The 6378 is purpose-built for shooters who take retention seriously but refuse to compromise on a clean, accessible draw. Whether you're running it in a patrol or plainclothes role, or simply want a holster that holds your Glock 19 or 23 rock-solid without the complexity, this is a no-nonsense choice backed by decades of law enforcement trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Safariland 6378 fit my Glock 19?

Yes. The 6378 is molded specifically for Glock 19 and Glock 23 pistols and will securely accommodate both models.

What's included with the holster—just the paddle or the belt loop too?

Both come in the box. You get the paddle attachment and a standard belt loop, so you can choose the mounting method that works best for your carry style.

How does the ALS thumb release work?

When you holster your Glock, the Automatic Locking System engages automatically to lock the firearm in place. To draw, you swipe your thumb upward on the release lever as you establish your grip, which disengages the lock and lets you clear the holster naturally.

Is this holster good for concealed carry or duty use?

The 6378 was designed for plainclothes officers and professionals who need both security and accessible carry. Its low-profile design and retention system work well in either role, though suitability depends on your specific gun, belt, and clothing setup.
