Safariland Announces New Holster Fits for the Springfield Armory Hellcat

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 holster fits for the new Springfield Armory Hellcat. These Safariland and Bianchi holsters provide versatile functionality for Springfield Armory’s micro 9mm.

“Springfield Armory’s Hellcat has set a new standard for everyday carry,” said Eric Gasvoda, Vice President and General Manager for The Safariland Group duty gear division. “Safariland’s holsters provide a wide variety of options for Hellcat owners. From appendix carry with Bianchi’s new custom-fit Model 100 to the security of Safariland’s ALS system in the 7TS line, Safariland and Bianchi are bringing decades of experience to holsters for today’s most versatile firearms.”

Holster Fits for the Hellcat:

Bianchi’s Model 100 IWB holster is a classic leather holster that offers a minimalist profile in a comfortable holster. The new size 16 has been added for the Hellcat, and fits the micro 9mm perfectly.

The 7TS holster platform can be worn in many configurations. The versatile 7TS is available with a paddle, belt slide, belt loops or a belt clip. With its Automatic Locking System (ALS), the 7TS is also an excellent choice for a shoulder holster.

For IWB carry, Safariland’s Model 27 is ideal. The Model 27 offers a SafariLaminate™ body with adjustable tension. The Model 27 provides security with a classic leather look.

For more retention, the 575 GLS combines in-waistband carry with Safariland’s Grip Locking System. As you grip the gun, your index finger moves the GLS lever, allowing for a natural and intuitive draw.

Safariland Takes Holster Retention to the Extreme

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 debuted a holster video like no other. For years Safariland has set the standard for how firearms are retained in a holster. This extreme video puts new light on proven technology.

“At The Safariland Group, we live for innovation, performance, excellence and legacy every day” said Tim Drnec, VP of Marketing and Commercial Sales for The Safariland Group. “Our team wanted to go out and show our products in an all-new way, and they certainly achieved that-and then some. These scenarios demonstrate the ultra-reliability of our holsters’ function, design, build and of course, retention.”

Secure Against High Force, Jolts and Torque

Strength, power and endurance are all honed in the gym. They’re also qualities of the world’s top holsters. So Safariland took its products to the gym floor to be tested by free will and brute force. When the time came to push the threshold of Level IV retention, they headed out to a maritime playground for a high-speed day on the water. And to remind everyone that retention is critical at all altitudes, the team went to new heights. They also showed these holsters release how and when they should and function in the most dynamic of environments.

Safariland has taken the utmost pride and gone to immeasurable lengths to ensure firearms are secure in all of its holsters. The company is continuously seeking new innovation to add to the premier product lineup. Every effort is being made to uphold and build upon the legacy of protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals as well as private citizens.

Safariland Announces Holster Fits for the new Taurus GX4

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 holster fits for the new Taurus GX4. These Safariland and Bianchi holsters provide versatile functionality for Taurus’s new micro-compact GX4 9mm.

For in-waist-band concealment, Bianchi offers multiple right and left-handed holsters. The Model 6 and tuckable 6T provide classic IWB concealment. For more retention, the Bianchi Model 6 ATB combines IWB with a thumb-break strap.
