So I've seen a number of posts about Safariland's website, and had similar issues navigating it myself. However, I am also 0 for 2 calling and speaking to actual people.

I called some time ago when I started looking for holsters about whether the 7 series had an open bottom or not to fit a pistol with a threaded barrel. I was assured they were not, so I kept looking. The 7TS I purchased for a 229 without threaded barrel arrived yesterday as does have an open bottom that looks like it would/could accommodate a TB. I call that the first miss.

The holster that arrived was the second miss, their website was unclear as to which of two holster models (7378-447-411 or 7378-474-411) would fit a Legion P229 9mm. So I called, and the rep I talked to assured me a "447 is what you want for that weapon". I hope she's wrong, because the pistol locks into the holster seemingly securely, but rattles around the slide quite a bit. Probably because it's fairly clearly labeled as being for a .40 pistol. I'll have to deal with return postage and reordered one that will hopefully fit.

I like Safariland's designs, because I don't think your trigger finger should be used on the release mechanism for a locking holster. However, finding which holster you need from them and what will work doesn't seem at all like an easy process.

The .40 slide and the 9MM slide have different external measurements. (9MM is narrower)
Don't worry about the Rattle. Once it is in , it is locked secure and you don't really notice it when you carry.

I have several Safariland holsters for various pistols, all are top quality and function perfectly.

Sometimes you will have a particular pistol that they don't list a holster for, Sig 1911 TacOps with the Sig slide for example. They also don't list one for the traditional slide either, I have the Traditional slide.

I went to a local shop and tried holster made for other 1911s and found one my pistol fit, wrote down the complete model number and ordered the holster I wanted.

The middle three (or four) numbers on Safariland holsters will tell you which pistols it fits and is usually (not always) the same across holster models.

Hopefully you can find a local store that will let you try the holsters out to find the right one.

Keep trying customer service. I got through first time when I called. As mentioned, even though the online holster picker may not list your gun, a rep may tell you what holster you need. I had that problem with a level 3 for an MK25.

Try Holsterops.com it's a division of safariland. I would say they know their stuff I called and talked to them about a leve II retention duty holster for the legion 226 SAO, its not a perfect fit as I had to mod it just a little.
