Safariland GLS

There are also folks that find retention appealing, and have no concern about gun grabs by other people. I use a drop rig all the time hunting in AK, and I am keen on the pistol not ending up in the bottom of a stream or lake.

I primarily use a retention holster for 3-gun competition and when riding my dual-sport motorcycle offroad in remote areas.
Not all retention holster requirements are the same.

Quite right, as I fail to consider other contexts.

Me too. I'm quite sure someone at work will think this holster design is the shizzle. It has a place, just not in LE...especially if the only thing keeping a bad guy from grabbing it is whether or not he can establish some kind of grip on the pistol.

I look forward to the ALS/gls combo.

Just checked, and the GLS for the G17 is cut such that a Glock with an RMR (rear reserve sight in front of optic) fits without modification.

The new 7000 series for a G17 and X300 also fits the pistol without the light mounted.

Will it accommodate a DG switch without modification? I'm interested in the 7 series holster but that would seal the deal!

You need to hear/stretch the holster for the DG switch. Bill did mine. Put some metal tape on bottom of switch and gently heat the holster.

As a guy who carried a Rogers SSIII (Safariland 070) most of my L/E career, I am looking forward to these.

Bill Rogers says there are plans for a combined ALS/GLS holster. As a 070 alumni, I like the idea of that.

Have all you 070-philes not experienced the 0701?

Back when I was running an 070 in uniform, the 0701 was just the ticket for open carry in soft clothes. I think I still have one squirreled away somewheres.

I have one of these en route for a review.
