This review covers the Safariland 7371 ALS Paddle Holster for the Glock 43. The instructor highlights Safariland's reputation for quality, especially in duty holsters. The ALS (Automatic Locking System) is explained as an active retention mechanism requiring a thumb press to release the firearm, differentiating it from passive retention like simple Kydex pinch. The holster is noted for its secure fit, smooth draw, and compatibility with Glock 42 and 43 models. While the paddle design offers accessibility for open carriers, its security is discussed in comparison to belt-mounted options, with the instructor deeming the risk of a paddle being ripped off minimal in real-world scenarios.

This quick tip from Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners focuses on optimizing holster position for a more efficient firearm draw, particularly relevant for open carry scenarios. He emphasizes the importance of biomechanical efficiency, explaining how a natural holster cant, often designed for comfort in vehicles, can hinder draw speed. The ideal is a vertical gun position, but if cant is unavoidable, techniques to compensate for the angle are discussed. The core principle is that straight lines are stronger and more efficient than angles for drawing a firearm.

Roger Barrera, owner of QVO Tactical, demonstrates that the new Glock 45 Gen 6 is fully compatible with existing Glock Gen 5 holsters, including OWB and light-bearing models from QVO Tactical and Safariland ALS duty holsters. This compatibility is due to consistent external dimensions with Gen 5 models. The testing involved a Surefire X300 weapon light, showing no issues with retention or draw.
