Description
The Safariland Species is an inside-the-waistband holster built for concealed carry, designed around a slim-profile handgun like the Glock 48. IWB carry asks a lot of a holster: it has to sit close enough to the body to disappear under a cover garment while still delivering a clean, repeatable draw stroke, and the Species is engineered with that tension in mind rather than as an afterthought.
The Multicam Black finish keeps the exterior low-profile and visually neutral, which suits both plain-clothes use and situations where a pattern would draw attention. The right-hand configuration orients the draw for a standard strong-side grip, and the holster is set up to work with a Glock 48 featuring a rail-mounted light or accessory — the “COR” designation in the model name references that compatibility, so buyers should confirm their specific Glock 48 configuration before ordering.
Safariland’s Species line is built around a passive retention system that secures the pistol on holstering without requiring a thumb-break or external device to release. That means the draw is uninterrupted by an extra step, while the gun stays indexed and immobile during normal movement. For everyday concealed carry, that balance between security and draw speed is the central design trade-off this holster resolves in favor of speed without sacrificing retention at rest. The right-hand orientation is fixed, so left-handed carriers will need a different variant.
