Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit OWB Holster - Black Polymer Paddle for S&W M&P Shield 9/.40/.45 RH, 578179411 UPC 781602748339 Secure your S&W M&P Shield with the versatile Safariland 578 GLS Pro-Fit OWB Holster (Model 578179411, UPC 781602748339). This black polymer paddle holster fits M&P Shield in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, offering active retention, ambidextrous paddle, and lightning-fast draws for range, duty, or open carry. The patented GLS™ (Grip Lock System) locks your pistol until you release it—perfect for active lifestyles without compromising speed. Patented GLS Retention: Safe, Secure, Instant Access The GLS Pro-Fit engages the slide's proprietary bump as you draw, auto-relocking on holster. A simple inward thumb press on the frame releases it smoothly—intuitive for stress draws, even with gloves. Superior to passive friction holsters, GLS prevents accidental ejections while allowing reholster one-handed. Tested to 20,000+ cycles, it's LE-proven for Shield Plus, EZ, and standard models. Pro-Fit Versatility: One Holster, Multiple Shields Safariland's Pro-Fit shell molds precisely to M&P Shield 9/.40/.45 contours—including lasers (Crimson Trace, Streamlight)—without multiple SKUs. Adjustable tension screw customizes fit for your exact pistol, ensuring zero movement during sprints or rolls. Open-top design shaves milliseconds off splits for USPSA/IDPA competitors. Ergonomic Paddle Platform: OWB Comfort Redefined The black STX polymer paddle (high-ride) hugs curves, distributing weight for all-day wear on belts 1.5-2". Rubberized insert grips fabric, preventing spin; close-to-body fit conceals under jackets. Right-hand draw with 10-20° forward cant optimizes hip or appendix carry. Lightweight at 5 oz, it's tougher than leather—waterproof, scuff-resistant.
