Safariland 7371 ALS Paddle Holster - G43
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.
