Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Concealment Holster: Unrivaled Security and Comfort for Glock 43 with Light (Right Hand)

For firearm owners seeking the ultimate blend of security, rapid access, and durability for their Glock 43 equipped with a tactical light, the Safariland Model 7378 7TS ALS Concealment Holster stands out as a premier solution. Engineered with Safariland's cutting-edge SafariSeven material and featuring the renowned Automatic Locking System (ALS), this holster addresses critical needs for everyday carry (EDC), professional duty, and rigorous training environments. It offers a secure, non-abrasive platform for your firearm, ensuring both peace of mind and the preservation of your weapon's finish.

Discovering the Advanced Features of the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Holster

The core of the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS holster's appeal lies in its innovative design and the superior materials used in its construction. This isn't just a basic carrying solution; it's a meticulously crafted piece of equipment designed to perform under demanding conditions while providing exceptional comfort and accessibility.

The Revolutionary SafariSeven Material: Durability Meets Protection

One of the most defining characteristics of the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS is its construction from SafariSeven. This proprietary nylon blend represents a significant leap forward in holster technology. Unlike traditional Kydex or leather holsters, SafariSeven is completely non-abrasive to a firearm's finish. This means that with repeated drawing and reholstering, your Glock 43’s slide, frame, and any protective coatings will remain pristine, preventing holster wear that can degrade a weapon's appearance and value over time.

Beyond its non-abrasive nature, SafariSeven boasts extraordinary resilience. It is engineered to withstand extreme environmental conditions, maintaining structural integrity and performance across a vast temperature range – from an astonishing 300 degrees Fahrenheit down to a frigid -50 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes the 7378 7TS ALS ideal for use in virtually any climate, from scorching deserts to freezing arctic conditions, without fear of the material warping, cracking, or becoming brittle. Furthermore, SafariSeven is highly resistant to common solvents, oils, and cleaning agents, ensuring its longevity and ease of maintenance. This robust material contributes directly to the holster's exceptional lifespan, making it a reliable investment for any serious firearm owner.

Automatic Locking System (ALS): Fast, Secure, and Intuitive Retention

At the heart of Safariland's reputation for security is its patented Automatic Locking System (ALS). This ingenious open-top design automatically secures the firearm once it is holstered, providing a level of retention that is both reliable and intuitive. When you insert your Glock 43 into the 7378 7TS ALS, the ALS mechanism engages, creating a positive lock on the weapon's ejection port. This active retention device holds the firearm firmly in place, significantly reducing the risk of it being dislodged during strenuous activity, accidental drops, or even attempts by an assailant to snatch the weapon.

Despite its robust security, the ALS system is designed for a simple, straight-up draw. Deactivating the release is a natural, fluid motion, typically performed with the thumb during the drawing process. This allows for incredibly fast and consistent weapon presentation when seconds count. The system is engineered so that proper grip acquisition on the firearm naturally positions the thumb to disengage the lock, ensuring that security doesn't come at the cost of speed. For both law enforcement professionals requiring quick access on duty and civilians in self-defense scenarios, the rapid and intuitive deployment offered by ALS is a critical advantage. Reholstering is equally straightforward, with the ALS automatically re-engaging to secure the firearm, often with just one hand, allowing the user to maintain situational awareness.

Precision Fit for Glock 43 with Weapon-Mounted Light

The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS is specifically molded for the Glock 43 when equipped with a weapon-mounted light (WML). This precise fit is paramount for both security and draw consistency. A generic holster simply cannot provide the same level of retention or protect the firearm and its accessories as a custom-fitted one. This holster is engineered to accommodate popular compact WMLs often chosen for the Glock 43, such as the Streamlight TLR-6 or similar models, ensuring that your illuminated carry setup is perfectly secured. The exact molding ensures that the light does not interfere with the holstering or drawing process, and that the firearm sits snugly without any unwanted play. This dedicated fit prevents movement that could lead to holster wear, rattles, or compromise the security of the ALS system.

Versatile Carry: Paddle and Belt Loop Adaptability

Understanding that firearm owners have diverse carry preferences and needs, the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS includes both an injection-molded paddle and a traditional belt loop attachment. This "combo" design provides exceptional versatility, allowing users to switch between carry styles depending on their activity or desired level of concealment and stability.

• The Paddle Attachment: Ideal for quick on-and-off convenience. The paddle slips easily over your waistband or belt, providing a secure friction fit that is comfortable for extended wear. It's an excellent choice for individuals who frequently remove and reattach their holster, or for casual range sessions where maximum stability isn't the primary concern but ease of use is.
• The Belt Loop Attachment: For situations demanding the highest level of stability and security, the belt loop is the preferred option. It threads through your belt, distributing the weight of the firearm more evenly and holding the holster firmly in place. This is often favored for duty use, intensive training, or extended periods of concealed carry where minimizing movement and "printing" (the outline of the firearm showing through clothing) is crucial.

Furthermore, the attachment system is user-adjustable for cant, allowing you to fine-tune the angle of the holster to your personal preference for a faster, more comfortable draw. The capability to wear it crossdraw also adds another layer of versatility for specific scenarios or body types where traditional strong-side carry might not be optimal. This adaptability ensures that the Safariland 7378 7TS ALS can seamlessly integrate into various carry setups, from overt duty to discreet concealed carry.

Optimized for Concealment and Comfort

Despite being an outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster, the 7378 7TS ALS is designed with concealment in mind. Its relatively slim profile and the ability to adjust the cant help reduce the overall footprint of the firearm, making it easier to conceal under a jacket or loose-fitting shirt. The SafariSeven material's lightweight nature also contributes to overall comfort, reducing fatigue during long hours of wear. The open-top design, while providing quick access, maintains a minimalist aesthetic that aids in discreet carry.

Engineered for Performance: Raised Standoff Surfaces

A subtle yet critical feature contributing to the longevity of your firearm and the holster's performance are the raised standoff surfaces located in the holster's interior. These strategically placed bumps create air space around the weapon, preventing the firearm from making full contact with the holster's inner walls. This innovative design serves multiple purposes:

• Dirt and Moisture Clearance: The air gap allows dirt, dust, lint, and moisture to quickly clear away from the firearm, preventing buildup that could scratch the finish or interfere with weapon function.
• Reduced Friction: By minimizing direct contact points, the standoff surfaces further reduce friction during drawing and reholstering, contributing to the "non-abrasive" claim and preserving the firearm's finish over countless draws.
• Ventilation: The airspace aids in ventilation, which can be beneficial in humid environments or during prolonged carry.

This attention to detail showcases Safariland's commitment to both firearm protection and user functionality.

Optimizing Your Carry Experience

To truly leverage the capabilities of your Safariland 7378 7TS ALS holster, consider these tips:

• Practice Your Draw: While the ALS system is intuitive, regular practice of your draw stroke is essential to ensure muscle memory for rapid and safe firearm presentation.
• Choose the Right Belt: A sturdy, purpose-designed gun belt is crucial for any OWB holster, especially when carrying a weapon with a light. A proper belt prevents sag, enhances concealment, and ensures the holster remains stable during the draw.
• Regular Maintenance: While SafariSeven is highly durable, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth can keep your holster clean and free of debris, especially after use in dirty environments.

The Safariland 7378 7TS ALS Concealment Holster is more than just an accessory; it's an essential piece of gear that ensures your Glock 43 with a weapon light is carried securely, comfortably, and is always ready when you need it most.
