Introducing Ballast: Safariland’s most advanced Duty Rated Holster for law enforcement professionals. 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. The Ballast holster is compatible with all Safariland 3-hole pattern holster mounts and accessories. Trust the Safariland Ballast — your stabilizing force for every shift.
