6378RDS ALS® Concealment Paddle Holster for Pistol RDO
The Safariland 6378RDS is specifically designed for pistols with a red dot sight (RDO/RDS). The ALS® locks the firearm once it is holstered and allows a natural draw when you release the thumb lock while taking your grip. On the outside, SafariLaminate™ construction makes the holster strong; on the inside, suede protects the firearm's front sight and finish.
The 6378RDS holster is specifically designed for firearms with red dot sights. The holster features the ALS® which locks the firearm securely in place when holstered but still allows a natural draw with a swipe of the thumb release as you establish your grip. SafariLaminate™ construction makes the holster strong on the outside, while SafariSuede™ on the inside protects your firearm's front sight and finish.
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.
- ALS® retention
The Automatic Locking System (ALS®) locks the firearm automatically once it is holstered. It is released with the thumb while you take your shooting grip; after that, a simple straight-up draw is possible.
- Optional ALS® Guard
An ALS® Guard is optionally available for increased security.
- Designed for red dot sights
The 6378RDS is designed for pistols equipped with a red dot sight. The specific firearm and optic combination must match the selected fit.
- Removable optic hood cover
The holster has a removable optic hood cover (cover over the optic).
- SafariLaminate™
The thermoformed SafariLaminate™ construction protects the handgun and sights and makes the holster strong on the outside.
- Suede lining (SafariSuede™)
The suede lining on the inside protects the firearm's front sight and finish.
- Paddle
The paddle offers an adjustable cant.
- Concealed carry
The slim, low-profile design of the holster makes concealed carry easier.
- Carry method
Worn outside the waistband (OWB), with the paddle (can also be worn without a belt, adjustable cant).

Notes
- Safariland cannot guarantee that RDS holsters will be compatible with non-factory mounted red dots (e.g. Glock MOS, M&P CORE). Depth of the sight in the slide, use of a dovetail and placement on the slide can all affect the fit in the holster.
- The manufacturer offers fits for pistols with and without a mounted light; for versions made for pistols with a light, the retention system is designed to function optimally with the mounted, manufacturer-approved light. The selected firearm model is decisive.
- The ALS® Guard is optional and not part of the standard scope.
- In Germany a belt mount (belt loop) is not included; it is available as a separate, optional accessory.
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
