The Safariland SPECIES holster for the Glock 48 (brand part no. 20-896-701) is a black duty holster. Species is Safariland’s minimalist IWB entry, thermal-molded from Boltaron into a smaller package than most inside-the-waistband holsters so it disappears better under appendix carry. A suede-lined interior and adjustable tension let a shooter dial in the exact fit, feel, and draw for their pistol. This listing is configured for right-hand draw.
