Description

The 6378RDS stands out as a serious option if you're running a red dot on your M&P 2.0 and want automatic locking security without fighting through a complicated draw. The ALS system locks the firearm in place the moment you holster it, with an audible click that confirms the gun is secure. To draw, you just swipe the thumb release lever while establishing your grip, and the gun comes free with one smooth motion. After a bit of practice, the whole thing becomes second nature.

Safariland's 6378RDS for Red Dot Optics

This holster was specifically designed with red dot sights in mind. It includes a protective cover that automatically opens as you draw, keeping your optic safe from mud, water, and debris when the gun is holstered. The molded fit accommodates popular compact weapon lights alongside your red dot setup, making it flexible for different loadouts. SafariLaminate construction on the outside gives you durability that won't quit, while SafariSuede lining on the inside protects your firearm's finish and sights from getting scratched up during draws and reholsters.

Versatile Paddle and Belt Loop Design

Every 6378RDS comes with both a paddle attachment and a standard belt loop, so you're not locked into one carry method. The paddle rides close to the body with a slightly forward cant that helps with concealment, and it's surprisingly easy to clip on and off depending on what you're doing that day. The belt loop works with belts between 1.5 and 1.75 inches wide, giving you solid options for duty setups or everyday carry. Need to swap between them? Takes just an Allen wrench and a couple minutes.

Built for Durability and Reliability

This isn't some thin kydex shell that flexes if you breathe wrong. The SafariLaminate material is thick enough to actually hold its shape and protect your investment. The muzzle plug at the bottom adds extra retention and keeps the gun stable whether you're running a light or going naked. Reviews consistently highlight how solid this holster feels out of the box and how the ALS system stays reliable through regular use. It's the kind of gear that works when you need it to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 6378RDS work with all red dot optics?

The 6378RDS is designed for factory-mounted red dots on the M&P 2.0. Safariland cannot guarantee compatibility with aftermarket or non-factory optic mounts due to variations in depth, dovetail placement, and slide positioning. It is not compatible with the Trijicon SRO optic. If you have questions about your specific setup, contact us before ordering.

How does the ALS retention system work?

When you holster your M&P, the ALS lever automatically locks onto the ejection port with a positive click, securing the firearm. To draw, you simply swipe the thumb release lever upward while establishing your shooting grip, and the gun slides free. Most people need a bit of practice to build the muscle memory, but once you get it down, the draw is quick and intuitive.

Can I switch between the paddle and belt loop?

Yes. The 6378RDS comes with both attachments, and you can swap between them in just a couple minutes using the included Allen wrench. This gives you flexibility to wear it as a paddle holster for concealment or switch to the belt loop for a more traditional setup.

Is the 6378RDS suitable for concealed carry?

Yes, this holster is designed for concealment. The injection-molded paddle rides close to the body with a forward cant to keep the gun tucked in, and the overall profile is relatively slim. That said, it will be more visible than an inside-the-waistband option. How well it conceals depends on your body type, clothing, and the specific light setup you're running.
