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.

- SafariSeven™, non-abrasive
SafariSeven™ is a high performance nylon blend that, according to the manufacturer, is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements. It is completely non-abrasive to a firearm's finish; raised stand-off surfaces inside the holster create air space, so dirt and moisture clear quickly. The matte finish is designed to reduce reflection and can be maintained with a simple scouring pad.

Notes
- Level III Retention™ is only possible with the optional Sentry device. According to the manufacturer, Hood Guard and Sentry are optional accessories (order code examples with installed accessory) and not part of the standard scope.
- The manufacturer lists fits for pistols with and without a mounted light. With a light-equipped firearm, the manufacturer notes that an opening is created in the holster that could allow access to the trigger; the selected firearm model is decisive.
- Before use with a loaded firearm, the manufacturer requires practice with an unloaded firearm. Do not store the holster or accessories near heat sources, as heat can deform the polymer.
- Care according to the manufacturer: wipe SafariSeven™ with a damp cloth; soap and water and a scouring pad help with cleaning. A firearm fits more tightly in a new holster at first; if the holster remains tight after the break-in period, the manufacturer recommends a liberal amount of common silicone spray inside the holster.
