Safariland 568BL Injection-Molded Paddle for 3-Hole Pattern Holster, Left, Plain Black, Fits 1.75" Belts

The Safariland 568BL is a durable injection-molded paddle attachment engineered to secure any Safariland 3-hole pattern holster to belts up to 1.75" or for comfortable beltless carry.

Designed as a straightforward upgrade or replacement part for compatible holsters, this plain-black polymer paddle blends rugged construction with an ergonomic shape that sits behind the hip. It locks in place with an integrated self-locking hook that slides beneath the belt’s bottom edge, reducing unwanted lift or movement while still allowing quick removal when needed.

How does the 568BL attach to my holster and stay secure during movement?

The 568BL mounts using the standard Safariland 3-hole pattern, making installation quick and universally compatible with holsters that use that layout. Security comes from the molded hook that tucks under the belt to resist upward pull, while the contoured paddle surface keeps the assembly snug against your body.

• Three-hole mounting pattern for direct replacement or swap-out
• Self-locking hook slides under the belt bottom for added retention
• Contoured back reduces rotation and improves stability on the hip

Will this paddle work with my belt and can I wear it without one?

The paddle accepts belts up to 1.75 inches (45 mm) wide, covering most duty and civilian belts. It’s also shaped to support beltless carry; the large molded surface rests against the body to hold the holster in place whether you’re wearing a belt or not.

• Fits belts up to 1.75" (45 mm) width
• Broad paddle face enables stable beltless wear
• Plain black finish matches a wide range of holster styles

What materials and ergonomic features does the 568BL offer?

Made from injection-molded polymer, the 568BL balances strength and weight for everyday use without bulky metal hardware. The paddle’s ergonomic contour mirrors the hip profile to reduce pressure points and improve comfort during prolonged carry.

• Injection-molded polymer construction for durability and light weight
• Ergonomically contoured to fit behind the hip comfortably
• Plain black surface for a discreet, low-gloss look

Is this paddle compatible with other Safariland accessories or holster models?

Yes — the 568BL is intentionally made for any Safariland holster using the 3-hole mounting pattern, providing a simple parts interchange for a range of models. Because it follows the standard hole spacing, you can swap paddles without altering the holster body or mounting screws.

• Universal for Safariland 3-hole pattern holsters
• Direct-fit replacement — no modification required
• Ideal for users who want a paddle option instead of a belt loop or thigh mount

Who is this for? The Safariland 568BL paddle suits law enforcement, security professionals, and civilians who need a reliable, low-profile attachment for Safariland 3-hole holsters. It’s a practical choice for anyone seeking a lightweight, comfortable paddle that locks under the belt, fits common belt widths, and provides a hassle-free swap-in for existing holsters.
