Security under your thumb:

Safariland’s skilled holster designers have improved upon their successful Self-Locking System (SLS) holsters with the new, innovative Automatic Locking System (ALS) holsters, all while incorporating the proven features of the SLS. Created with careful attention to security and the same high level of retention found in their advanced Raptor Series SLS holsters, the ALS holsters allow for fast and easy operation. 

Read on to discover the amazing features and benefits of ALS holsters:
 

• A new internal locking system instantly secures your weapon in all directions as you re-holster it.

• The holster’s advanced, ergonomic design allows you to comfortably wear your weapon close to your body, enabling a smooth, natural draw. Its thumb-operated locking system coupled with the straight-up draw motion allows officers to quickly and easily adapt to the holster; as a result, may find training with it to be easy.

• Grasp the pistol and rotate the SLS hood down and forward, which naturally positions your thumb on the release lever, giving you a more instinctive draw. No extra motions are needed; just move it slightly to the rear with your thumb and lift the gun straight up and out of the holster. Readjusting your grip is unnecessary – moving the release lever forces your thumb into a natural shooting position.

• Re-holstering is easy and efficient; there are no flaps or straps to fumble with. Simply seat your pistol into the holster and wait for it to firmly click into place. When it engages the custom-molded ejection port lock, a secure Level II Retention is instantly created. Then, flip up the SLS hood with your fingers as you remove your hand. In under a second, your weapon is secured at Level III Retention—get added security with the optional SLS Sentry installed—all with one hand.
