Never shy about putting a company on the spot, we dropped by Safariland with a baited ambush, to see who would walk into it. That unfortunate person was Keith Garcia.We ambushed him with other questions at SHOT to get the nitty-gritty details of what we can expect from the high-quality holster maker.
Impressions & Expectations
Safariland has been the best in the business at tactical holsters since Bill Rodgers founded the company in the late ’70s. They are the weapon (or weapon holder) of choice for everyone from Spec Ops ninjas to your local police department. The only unfortunate side effect of all this, it isn’t worth their time to make holsters for exotic pistols. A pistol has to reach a threshold of popularity before Safariland invests the money in a plastics mold.

So my question was this. SIG won the MHS contract, when do I see a P320 ALS holster with the light and red dot option? That is how I roll, and the model made for a Glock 34 in that exact configuration is what I have used for years. And Safariland assures us it is coming. Check back with us soon, but it is going to be on my radar until it happens.
