Safariland Species Wrapped Inside the Waistband (IWB) Holster - Fits Glock 19 & Compact Variants - Genuine Black Cordura Wrap, SafariLaminate Tactical Core, Right Hand - 20-283-781
Product Description
Carrying a compact striker-fired handgun everyday can be tough on your skin. Hard plastic edges scratch against your waistline, while traditional leather sheaths trap sweat, warp over time, and lose their crisp retention on your staging bench. The **Safariland® Species Wrapped IWB Holster (20-283-781)** completely solves this concealed carry bottleneck. It pairs a rigid, impact-resistant protective shell with a soft, durable fabric cover to optimize both comfort and firearm staging capability.
Proudly engineered, molded, and finished in the United States to strict duty-grade tolerances, this high-end IWB holster is built with an internal **SafariLaminate™ thermoformed composite core**. This rigid structural liner ensures the mouth of the holster stays perfectly open for a seamless, one-handed re-holster cycle. The standout enhancement is the exterior, which is thermal-bonded with a genuine **tactical black Cordura® nylon wrap**. This textile skin dampens weapon movement noise, resists abrasion, and offers a smooth, comfortable surface against your body. It avoids the harsh, digging sensation of bare Kydex or polymer edges during long days on the trail.
The holster features an adjustable passive tension lock around the trigger guard block and an integrated 1.5" multi-position belt clip, providing reliable tactical staging directly on your workbench.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Conceal Carry Guidance: The Safariland 20-283-781 Species holster arrives complete and pre-configured for right-handed inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry inside its original retail packing. COMPACT GLOCK SPECIFIC FITMENT MATRIX: This model is custom-contoured specifically to host **Glock 19, 19X, 23, 32, and 45 models across all Generations (Gen 1-5)**. Armorer Muzzle Fitment Tip: Because it features an open-muzzle bottom configuration, it will also smoothly accommodate longer slide variations like the Glock 17 or 34 on your bench, though the lower portion of those longer barrels will extend past the bottom edge of the laminate shell. CRITICAL HARDWARE CLEARANCES: This holster will not accept handguns fitted with frame-mounted aftermarket weapon lights or under-barrel laser systems. However, it is fully sculpted with a deep, cleared top channel to easily fit handguns outfitted with **slide-mounted Red Dot Optics / Reflex Sights (RDS)** and tall suppressor-height iron sights. Workbench Tension Tuning Guide: Locate the single hex screw on the trigger-guard wing of the shell body. Using a standard hex key, turning this screw clockwise will tighten the internal mechanical clamp on your gun's trigger guard block, letting you dial in the exact extraction force required for a clean draw tracking loop downrange.*
