Are you searching for the best outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster that offers superior retention without sacrificing a swift draw? Do you need a reliable holster for your Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 .40 that can accommodate popular weapon-mounted lights like the SureFire X300U or Streamlight TLR-1 HL? The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster is specifically designed to answer these questions and solve the common challenges faced by those who carry a firearm with an attached light. Its advanced features cater to law enforcement officers, military personnel, and responsible civilians who prioritize both firearm security and instant accessibility. This black, right-hand configured holster is a testament to Safariland's legacy of producing high-performance, trusted equipment for those who serve and protect.

Unrivaled Security with the Automatic Locking System (ALS)

At the core of the Safariland 7378’s exceptional performance is its patented Automatic Locking System (ALS). This Level I Retention™ innovation revolutionized holster design by providing an intuitive and secure retention mechanism. When your firearm is holstered, the ALS automatically engages a locking device that secures the weapon in place. This mechanism acts as a robust safeguard against accidental dislodgment, even during dynamic movements, strenuous physical activity, or unexpected impacts.

The brilliance of the ALS lies in its simplicity and efficiency. To draw your firearm, the user simply depresses a small, ergonomically positioned lever with their thumb, located on the inside of the holster. This natural thumb-driven motion, integrated into the standard drawing sequence, simultaneously unlocks the firearm and prepares it for a smooth, unhindered draw. Unlike holsters that rely on thumb breaks or straps that can hinder speed, the ALS system promotes a consistently fast and fluid presentation. This rapid, single-motion draw is critical in situations where milliseconds can make a difference. The system is designed to be highly resistant to passive grabs, adding a significant layer of security against unauthorized access to your weapon, which is a paramount concern for professionals in the field. Its robust design ensures that the retention mechanism remains reliable even after extensive use and exposure to harsh elements, maintaining its integrity whether you're on duty, at the range, or navigating challenging terrain.

The Advantage of SafariSeven™ Construction

The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster is meticulously constructed from SafariSeven™, a proprietary material that sets a new standard for durability and performance in the holster industry. This unique nylon blend is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, from sub-zero environments to blistering desert heat, without compromising its structural integrity or functionality. Unlike traditional Kydex or leather holsters, SafariSeven™ maintains its shape and rigidity under diverse climatic conditions, ensuring consistent weapon retention and draw characteristics regardless of where your duties take you.

One of the most significant benefits of SafariSeven™ is its exceptional non-abrasive property. The smooth interior finish of the holster is designed to protect your firearm’s finish from wear and tear, preventing scratches and marring that can occur with less forgiving materials over prolonged use. This helps maintain the aesthetic and functional integrity of your expensive firearm, extending its lifespan and preserving its resale value. Furthermore, SafariSeven™ is virtually impervious to the elements. It will not absorb moisture, become waterlogged, or swell like some other materials, making it ideal for wet or humid environments. It’s also highly resistant to chemicals, oils, and solvents, simplifying cleaning and maintenance. For those operating in demanding conditions, the SafariSeven™ material offers peace of mind, knowing that their holster will perform reliably day in and day out, regardless of environmental challenges.

Designed for Weapon-Mounted Lights: Optimal Compatibility

A defining feature of the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster is its precision engineering for firearms equipped with tactical weapon lights. Modern tactical situations often necessitate the use of illumination, and carrying your firearm with an attached light is increasingly becoming standard practice for both professionals and self-defense minded citizens. This holster is specifically molded to accommodate popular weapon-mounted lights (WMLs) such as the SureFire X300U and the Streamlight TLR-1 HL, among others that share similar dimensions.

This dedicated WML compatibility means you can maintain your full operational setup without compromise. The holster's open-bottom design and spacious light channel ensure a perfect, snug fit around both the firearm and the attached light, preventing any snagging during the draw or re-holstering process. This integrated design not only optimizes your readiness but also eliminates the need to remove your weapon light for holstering, saving critical time and ensuring your illumination tool is always ready when you need it. For individuals who rely on their WML for target identification and threat assessment in low-light conditions, this feature is not merely a convenience but a tactical imperative. It allows for a more streamlined and efficient carry solution, making it an indispensable tool for anyone who operates in varied lighting environments and prioritizes a fully integrated firearm system.

Precision Fit for Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 .40

The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster is meticulously designed to provide a custom-like fit for the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 in .40 S&W caliber. This precise molding ensures that your specific firearm, with or without a weapon light, seats perfectly within the holster, minimizing any play or movement. A perfect fit is crucial for both security and a smooth, consistent draw stroke. When a holster fits poorly, it can lead to instability, slower draws, and even potential accidental discharges. The 7378’s design eliminates these concerns by cradling the M&P M2.0 .40 with unparalleled precision.

This tailored fit also contributes significantly to the holster's retention capabilities. The firearm is held firmly in place by the SafariSeven material's natural rigidity and the ALS system, preventing any rattling or unwanted shifts. Whether you are running, jumping, or navigating obstacles, your firearm will remain securely nested, ready for deployment. This level of weapon-specific engineering ensures that users of the S&P M&P M2.0 .40 can have complete confidence in their carry system, knowing that their firearm is both safe and immediately accessible.

Versatile Belt and Paddle Attachment Options

The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster comes standard with versatile attachment options to suit various carry preferences and operational needs. It typically includes both a paddle attachment and a standard belt loop. The paddle attachment offers unparalleled convenience, allowing for quick donning and doffing of the holster without the need to thread it onto a belt. This is ideal for situations where you might need to quickly transition from off-duty to on-duty, or for range use where you frequently take the holster on and off. The paddle is designed to be secure and comfortable, conforming to the wearer's hip for stability.

For those who demand maximum stability and a more permanent attachment, the belt loop option provides a rock-solid connection to your duty belt or everyday carry belt. This ensures that the holster stays firmly in place, even during vigorous activity or when drawing the firearm under pressure. Both attachments are designed for right-handed users, providing optimal angle and cant for a natural and efficient draw stroke. This adaptability makes the Safariland 7378 an excellent choice for a wide array of users, from law enforcement professionals requiring duty-grade security to everyday citizens seeking a dependable OWB solution for training or open carry.
