7378 7TS ALS Paddle and Belt Loop Combo Holster - Open Top Retention

In this review of the 7378 7TS ALS paddle and belt loop combo holster, the bottom line is clear: it is a practical option for duty or range users who want reliable retention without a bulky locking hood. The reviewer found the holster excels at secure carry thanks to the ALS Automatic Locking System while still allowing a straightforward straight-up draw once the thumb release is pressed. Constructed from SafariSeven, the material is gentle on firearm finishes and the open-top, SLS-free profile keeps access fast when speed matters.

Key Features

• ALS retention: The Automatic Locking System secures the weapon in place and releases cleanly with a thumb press for a predictable draw.
• Open-top design: With no SLS hood obstructing the muzzle, the holster allows rapid retrieval for duty or range work.
• SafariSeven construction: The proprietary nylon blend resists abrasion so the firearm finish remains protected during daily carry.
• Raised stand-off surfaces: Interior stand-offs create an air gap that helps dirt and moisture fall away from contact points to reduce wear.
• Dual carry options: Includes an injection-molded belt loop that is user adjustable for cant and can be configured for crossdraw or paddle use.

Who It's For

The 7378 7TS is aimed at active shooters, law enforcement, and anyone who needs secure retention combined with quick access; its ALS retention makes it well suited for duty carry where retention is required but speed cannot be sacrificed. Users who favor an open-top profile for rapid draws will appreciate the lack of an SLS hood and the smooth thumb release.

Those who should look elsewhere include operators who prefer a fully enclosed, hooded retention system or those wanting a holster for appendix carry, as this design is built primarily for belt or paddle positions and larger support platforms.
