Any agencies carrying one even if only in the investigations/admin assignments?

Safariland has an ALS holster for the 48 MOS , any other duty holsters out there?

What are you using for mag pouches? How about mag pouch/holster combos?

I am a probation officer. We are approved the 43x soon to be 48 also for duty use (Don't ask why not the 48 already).

Our Sheriff's Dept detectives and one of the local PDs authorize their detectives to carry the 43x and 48 also.  The ALS Safariland should fit a 43x and 48 in my experience.

I carry a G45 by choice in a Safariland 6378 ALS.  As far as mag holders, plain clothes, I recommend the Blade Tech Total Eclipse. They make a single and double. Super easy on and off and great retention.

We authorize the 48 or 43X for Admin / Investigations.  Openly carried, it must be in a Safariland ALS holster. Mag pouches in that role are a mix of Raven, JM kydex, and Tenicor

I just retired, but we are currently only authorized to carry the 43X, but when I was talking to our primary firms instructor before I left, he said the 48 should soon be authorized as well. These are only for use as a backup gun or for admin and office types whereas it has to be a 17 or a 19 for enforcement use.

We don’t mandate what type of holster the individual agents carry with, that’s completely up to their discretion.

For what it's worth it looks like Beretta 92/M9 sized mag pouches are what safariland recommend. I tried a few that size and they do work.

@Metro6
What is the model number for the approved ALS holster? I currently have a 48 MOS with an RMRcc, and I'm having a difficult time finding an appropriate holster. My uniform shop is not very helpful in this regard.

It is the Safariland Solis ALS holster - we authorize it with the Streamlight Sub

We authorize command staff/admin, and plain clothes guys like Gang Detectives to carry a 43x. Admin uses the Safariland holster. Many use my companies single mag/cuff kydex carrier as well.

I carry a G48 MOS off duty and we authorize the G43x/MOS, G48/MOS, and G26 for plainclothes assignments only. Patrol carries duty sized handguns. I am currently exploring an exception for a female officer with mitts so small that a G19 is cumbersome for her...

I have the G48 MOS with a shield SMS sight. Would the safariland als holster work with it?
Pic of the sight.


To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

It should fit, we have a mix of RMRcc and Aimpoint COAs

43x MOS issued to Narc/ICAC detectives in usually in Safariland ALS or one of either Bravo Concealment OWBs or an Incog AIWB rig. We were switching them to Shield Gen3 mags and mag releases previously.. now Glock just dropped their 15rd mags for them.

Anyone else currently is issued a Gen 5 G45 with SRO.

Preparing to transition to Gen 6 G17/COA's with Radian Ramjets.
