Press Release: Safariland 575 Slim Holster – Subcompact IWB Retention

With the announcement of the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield +, the list of available Subcompact handguns expanding, Safariland addressed the need for new holsters. Where most IDW holsters rely on pressure for retention, the Safariland 575 Slim includes a locking system that, like their other holsters, releases the firearm without interrupting the draw.

Safariland Announces 575 Slim Holster for Secure Retention of Subcompact Handguns 

Compact design offers multi-fit capability for IWB carry.

Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland^®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, today announced new 575 Slim Pro-Fit™ holsters equipped with Safariland’s Grip Locking System (GLS™). The new 575 Slim extends the availability of the popular holster design to subcompact pistols.

“The new Safariland 575 Slim builds on the success of our robust 575 in-waistband design,” said Eric Gasvoda, Vice President and General Manager for The Safariland Group duty gear division. “The new 575 models are built for the smaller 9mms and other pistols designed for everyday carry. With Safariland’s GLS retention and the 575’s ease of concealment, this is a great way to secure your carry gun so it is ready and accessible when you need it most.”

The new Safariland 575 Slim IWB GLS Pro-Fit holster provides a fully adjustable cant and offers the unique Grip Locking System which secures the firearm once holstered. The retention of the GLS is deactivated with the middle finger while taking a shooting grip during the draw. The body is SafariSeven™, a proprietary nylon blend that is non-abrasive to a firearm’s finish and maintains very high heat tolerance as well as low cold tolerance. This holster comes with two belt loop options based on preference (over or under the belt). Its low-cut and compact design makes concealment easy while also allowing for a quick draw.
