Dude I had to REALLY fight to run my 1.5" Volund through there. I'd say you should be okay.

Doing some more reading and found this. Thoughts?
Caution About Safariland GLS Holsters
"Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll."- Last words of Todd Beamer
Seems like a one-of problem to me but only time will tell. I have no problem carrying this particular model (537).
A little vid.

Just so we're clear:
Safariland DOES NOT rate the 537 as a retention holster thus the finger release is in essentially the same category as a thumb break.
Thanks for the heads up, I ordered a 537 for my VP9.
When I'm out and about in the backcountry I prefer a OWB holster with retention because I'm either busting through brush, climbing around on stuff or riding my motorcycle.
And even though New Mexico is an open carry state I much prefer concealment, even if it's faux concealment like an unbuttoned shirt or light jacket.
The 537 looks like it'll be a little lower profile than the 6378 ALS I have been using.

Finger lok. I think its same as ALS. Maybe not?

Sorry, but the bianchi finger lock is an entirely different, and much less secure, mechanism. The ALS is a thumb actuated ejection port locking mechanism. I've yet to see a concealment version that is actually concealable. The 6378 is low profile at best, like detectives in polos and kakhis with a belt worn badge.
Anything I post is my opinion alone as a private citizen.
