578 GLS™ Pro-Fit™ Paddle Holster for Pistol RDO
The Safariland 578 GLS™ Pro-Fit™ is a concealment holster whose Pro-Fit™ sizes together cover, according to the manufacturer, more than 225 pistol models. The Grip Lock System (GLS™) secures the pistol when holstered and releases it as soon as the middle finger meets the lever in a normal shooting grip. The SafariSeven™ body is lightweight, protects the pistol's finish and is easy to maintain.
Because this is a multi-fit holster, the 578 does not accept every combination of firearm model and optic: if the optic is mounted too far forward, the pistol cannot reach the GLS. Safariland identifies the Staccato P/C2 and Springfield Prodigy as common examples that do not seat fully.
Safariland began in 1964 in a garage in Sierra Madre, California: Neale Perkins built a holster at his father's request and named the company after the African safaris they had enjoyed together. The garage workshop grew into a brand that develops holsters, gear and protective equipment for duty and operational use. The company's guiding idea is "Together, We Save Lives"; Safariland names innovation, performance, excellence and legacy as its values.
- GLS™ retention
The Grip Lock System (GLS™) secures the pistol once it is holstered. The retention is released with the middle finger when the hand takes a normal shooting grip during the draw, which depresses the lever. According to the manufacturer, this makes the release more intuitive and safer.
- Pro-Fit™ multi-fit
A handful of Pro-Fit™ sizes together cover, according to the manufacturer, more than 225 pistol models; the holster body can also be adjusted. The holster must be adjusted before use; a manufacturer fit guide shows whether the included trigger guard shim is needed for the firearm model.
- SafariSeven™: lightweight and gentle
The holster body is made of SafariSeven™, a nylon blend that, according to the manufacturer, is lightweight and does not abrade the pistol's finish. According to the manufacturer the material is structurally sound from -50 °F to 300 °F (about -46 °C to 149 °C). The matte interior can, according to the manufacturer, be cleaned with a simple scouring pad.
- Water-tolerant
The interior has raised stand-off surfaces that create air space around the pistol so dirt and moisture clear quickly. According to the manufacturer, the SafariSeven™ holster can be submerged in water indefinitely and still maintain shape and function.
- Low-cut and compact for concealment
The low-cut, compact design makes concealed carry easier. According to the manufacturer, the low-cut sides allow a rapid draw and easy re-holstering.
- Injection-molded paddle
The injection-molded paddle is, according to the manufacturer, highly concealable and rides close to the body. It can be canted and, according to the manufacturer, can also be used without a belt.
- Optic capable (RDO/RDS)
According to the manufacturer the 578 is optic capable; the Sight Channel™ design accommodates raised sights and mounted optics. As a multi-fit holster it does not accept every combination of firearm model and optic: if the optic is mounted too far forward, the pistol may not seat fully in the GLS.
- Carry method
Concealment holster worn outside the waistband (OWB) with the injection-molded paddle.
Material and craftsmanship

- Multi-fit holster: not every combination of firearm model and optic will fit. If the optic is mounted too far forward, the pistol cannot seat in the GLS.
- According to the manufacturer the holster must be adjusted before use. The manufacturer's fit guide shows the matching fit code (*-number); depending on the firearm model a trigger shim is required.
- Before use with a loaded firearm the manufacturer requires testing the fit with an unloaded firearm; do not expose the holster to extreme heat.
- In Germany a belt mount (belt loop) is not included; it is available as a separate, optional accessory.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
