Ballast™ Holster

Decades of feedback and design improvements have shaped Ballast’s functionality. Ballast’s lightweight and durable design stands up to the toughest conditions. A proprietary crush-resistant design shields Ballast’s internal components and Safariland’s new Ingress Guard further protects the trigger inside the holster.

With a minimalist footprint, Ballast maximizes duty belt efficiency, allowing patrol officers to carry full-sized firearms without sacrificing belt space.

An internalized ALS lever lock spring shields Ballast’s core security mechanism. The textured ALS lever allows for improved thumb contact and ergonomics. And for added versatility, a redesigned cantable UBL belt mount that supports 15° forward or rearward angles, or vertical alignment for maximum comfort and an efficient draw stroke.

Trust the Safariland Ballast — your stabilizing force for every shift.

** Safariland® cannot guarantee that RDS holsters will be compatible with non-factory (Glock MOS, M&P CORE, etc.) mounted red dots. Numerous variables including depth of RDS into slide, use of dovetail, placement on slide, etc. can all affect the fit of the holster.
