Safariland 6378 ALS Belt SafariLaminate Paddle Holster for 1911 Colt Govt, Right Hand

The Safariland 6378 ALS Belt SafariLaminate Paddle Holster for 1911 Colt Govt in right-hand draw is a duty-proven carry solution built for shooters who need speed without sacrificing retention. Built on decades of law enforcement use, this right-hand paddle holster locks your 1911 Colt Government automatically the moment you holster—no manual safety needed. The patented Automatic Locking System (ALS) engages instantly, then releases with a simple thumb lever activated during your drawing stroke. It's the security of a retention holster without the fumbling.

The 6378 is designed for active carry. Its injection-molded paddle construction sits close to your body with a slightly forward cant, cutting down on print while keeping your gun accessible. The slim profile won't bulk up your waistband, and the suede-lined interior protects your sights and finish from wear. SafariLaminate construction—that wrapped, laminated polymer shell—delivers the durability Safariland's known for, especially in high-draw-count environments. The included 567BL belt loop fits standard 1.5" to 1.75" belts, so it'll work with your everyday carry setup or duty rig.

This is a 1911 Colt Government 5" barrel holster, right-hand only. If you run a Government 1911 and want a holster that locks tight but draws clean, the 6378 bridges the gap between open-top speed and retention-holster security. Law enforcement has trusted it for years—civilian shooters who demand the same level of reliability will appreciate it too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster fit my 1911?

The 6378 is designed specifically for the Colt Government 1911 with a 5" barrel. If your 1911 is a different model or barrel length, check Safariland's compatibility guide before ordering.

How does the Automatic Locking System work?

Once you holster your pistol, the ALS locks it in place automatically—no additional safety lever or button to engage. To draw, you simply press your thumb on the lever while establishing your shooting grip. The gun releases and comes free in one motion. It's fast and intuitive once you're trained on it.

What size belt does this holster need?

The 6378 comes with a 567BL belt loop that accommodates belts between 1.5" and 1.75" wide. Standard duty belts and most quality carry belts will fit.

Is this holster concealable?

Yes. The injection-molded paddle design is slim and hugs your body with a forward cant, keeping profile low and reducing printing. It's made for active carry where concealment matters but you need full access to your gun.
