Safariland is set to unveil the Ballast, its most advanced duty holster, at the 2025 SHOT Show. Engineered through extensive field feedback, its durable, lightweight design enhances law enforcement safety while maximizing duty belt efficiency. Key features include an open muzzle design, removable optic lid, and compatibility with various accessories.
Safariland states “Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, is excited to introduce Ballast – its most advanced duty holster for law enforcement professionals, which will be debuting at the 2025 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 21-24.
Extensive feedback from the field and design improvements have shaped the functionality of the Ballast holster. Its lightweight and durable design stands up to the toughest conditions. A proprietary crush-resistant design shields Ballast’s internal components, and, unique to Ballast, a new Ingress Guard to mitigate access inside the holster.
“Ballast was created with the safety of law enforcement and patrol officers in mind,” said Eric Gasvoda, Vice President and General Manager of Duty Gear for Safariland. “We took decades of feedback into consideration when creating the Ballast, and know we have created our most advanced duty-rated holster.
With a minimalist footprint, Ballast maximizes duty belt efficiency, allowing patrol officers to carry fill-sized firearms without sacrificing belt space.
An internalized ALS lever lock spring shields the core security mechanism of the Ballast. The textured ALS lever allows for improved thumb contact ergonomics. For added versatility, a redesigned cantable belt mount that supports 15 degrees forward or rearward angles or vertical alignment for maximum comfort and an efficient draw stroke.”
