Description
The Safariland Solis ALS delivers a balance between security and speed that works well for concealed carry, range days, and competition. Safariland's Automatic Locking System engages automatically as you holster your gun, locking it down tight without any manual adjustment. When you need your gun, a simple thumb swipe releases it, and the open-top design lets your hand find a natural shooting grip right away. The draw feels smooth and instinctive once you dial in the release.
What Sets the Solis ALS Apart
SafariSeven nylon blend is the real standout here. This proprietary DuPont material resists weather and temperature swings from -50 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit without losing its shape or function. It won't scratch or mar your gun's finish, and it sheds dirt and moisture easily. The holster is rugged enough for serious use but stays compact enough to conceal under a jacket when needed, which puts it somewhere between a traditional duty holster and a deep-carry option.
The Solis accepts most compact red dot sights and pairs well with subcompact weapon lights like the Streamlight TLR-7 and TLR-7A. The open muzzle end lets you run threaded barrels without issues and makes cleaning debris out straightforward. You get both a paddle attachment and belt loop mount in the box, and Safariland's three-hole mounting system means you can adapt it to different setups and carry positions.
Real-World Performance
The holster arrives with a snug fit right out of the box, and it holds your gun solidly whether you're running a light and optic or going stripped down. The ALS mechanism runs consistently and the retention is genuinely confidence-inspiring. Some users report the fit breaks in slightly with regular use, which is normal for quality nylon holsters. The SafariSeven construction proves its durability with cosmetic scuffs that don't affect function, and it handles moisture and sweat without degrading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Solis ALS holster for competition or range training?
Yes, the Solis works well for both. The smooth draw and retention give you the security you need in dynamic situations without the bulk of a full duty holster. It's often used at competitions and training events where retention is required but you need speed and accessibility.
How does the ALS system work, and is it intuitive to use?
The Automatic Locking System engages automatically as the gun slides into the holster, locking it in place. To draw, you use your thumb to swipe the ALS lever while acquiring your grip, and the gun releases straight up. Most users find it natural and instinctive once they've run a few drills with it.
Will the SafariSeven material scratch my gun's finish?
No. SafariSeven is specifically designed to be non-abrasive and non-marking. The material is soft enough to protect your firearm while still being durable enough to handle harsh conditions. The holster's interior design includes raised surfaces that create airspace around the gun, keeping contact points minimal.
Does the Solis work with different carry positions?
The holster comes with both a paddle and belt loop mount, and it works with Safariland's standard three-hole mounting system, which gives you flexibility to position it at different heights and angles. You can adapt it to mid-ride, low-ride, or other mounting options depending on your preference.
