Okay, I was checking the ammo supply at the local Wal-Mart here in Northern Nevada. Saw this "adjustable" Safariland GLS 576 Pro-Fit holster for wide-frame pistols.

Under $40 for a Safariland, I figure, I can do that without felling to bad if it's junk. I already have 5-6 Safariland holsters in various configurations.
Opened the package, it contains holster with belt adapter, adjusting Allen Wrench, instructions and box panel with, what it fits, supposedly every medium to large polymer handgun known to mankind.
Holster uses the same 3 screw mounting system as the other polymer Safariland holsters. There's also a paddle holster style one offered, that model is a 578. IWB is model is 575 (might have to find one of those).
Tonight I tried it out on a bunch of different handguns and was easy to adjust and make it fit properly. A couple were really finicky about getting the setting exactly right. I found the easiest way was too open the adjusting screw out with the supplied tool until the pistol was really loose fitting, then tighten until proper tension was achieved, without over tightening. Easier on some than others.

Guns that Fit: G3 G19 & G21
Ruger SR9e and American 45 ACP
Springfield XD-9
Sig Sauer SP2022, P226, P229 SAS, P320 P250sc

Ones I tried that didn't fit right: 1911's
Sig Sauer P365xl
SCCY CPX-1
 
These holsters are one of the best-kept secrets in the shooting world. I've been running mine in 3 Gun where I'm shooting in and out of vehicles. climbing ladders and running through trenches. Good retention is a must. I can draw with a sub 1sec draw. I have the small trigger guard block in it and use it for my 1911s and CZs

I got a Safariland Model 7378 7TS holster for Christmas last year from my wife. It has both a paddle and a belt loop mounting system. I got it primarily for my new HK VP9 but was pleasantly surprised that it could also be used with a few other handguns that I have.

Besides the VP9 it works with my Browning Hi-Power and SIG P229. It didn't fit with my CZ P01, CZ P07, Ruger SR9c, or any 1911 I have.

As a bonus the 578 also works with a red dot (G19 at least). I also loaned one of mine to a buddy that shoots a Walther PDP and he was able to make it work. Great intuitive retention design. The only downside is that it's not compatible with a weapon mounted light, otherwise it's been pefrect for my needs!
