Safariland Model 7378: built for the Glock 17
The Safariland Model 7378 exists for one job: keep a Glock 17 exactly where it belongs until the moment its owner needs it. That’s the balance Safariland has been refining since 1964.
Why officers trust it
- SafariSeven construction. Safariland’s duty laminate shrugs off impact, rain, and vehicle-frame abuse that ends leather rigs.
- ALS (Automatic Locking System). The pistol locks the moment it’s holstered, and a straight-back thumb release frees it in one natural drawing motion — nothing to pinch, rock, or think about.
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 17 with its weapon light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
Who carries it
Detectives, plainclothes assignments, and off-duty carriers run this class of holster where a duty rig would print or snag.

Common questions
Does it need a break-in period?
No. The shell is molded to the firearm, so retention is set by the locking hardware rather than friction — fit is correct out of the box.
Is this a duty or concealment holster?
Concealment — check the ride and belt attachment in the specs to confirm it matches how you intend to wear it.
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 17 with its weapon light in place. Run the exact pistol/light pairing before ordering — a bare pistol in a light-bearing shell will sit loose.
About Safariland
Safariland has been building holsters since 1964, when Neale Perkins sewed the first ones in a Sierra Madre, California garage — and it went on to define modern duty retention, including the industry’s first Level III retention holster.
