Safariland Model 6390: built for the Glock 19
When a shift goes sideways, the holster is the one piece of gear that has to work twice — hold the Glock 19 through a struggle, then give it up instantly to a trained draw. The Safariland Model 6390 does both with Level I retention.
Why officers trust it
- Level I retention. One independent retention mechanism stand between the pistol and a gun grab — each defeated naturally by the wearer’s trained draw, and only by it.
- Mid-Ride carry. Puts the grip right at the natural sweep of the hand — the patrol standard.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in STX Basket Weave, STX Plain, STX Tactical to match agency uniform standards.
- ALS (Automatic Locking System). The pistol locks the moment it’s holstered, and a straight-back thumb release frees it in one natural drawing motion — nothing to pinch, rock, or think about.
Who carries it
Patrol officers, sheriff’s deputies, and campus and transit police carry this class of rig every shift; agencies standardize on it because armorers can service the hardware and every officer draws the same way.

Common questions
Does it need a break-in period?
No. The shell is molded to the firearm, so retention is set by the locking hardware rather than friction — fit is correct out of the box.
Is this an approved duty holster?
It’s a Level I retention design of the type worn by patrol officers nationwide; approval always rests with your agency’s uniform and equipment policy.
Is this a duty or concealment holster?
Duty — check the ride and belt attachment in the specs to confirm it matches how you intend to wear it.
About Safariland
Safariland has been building holsters since 1964, when Neale Perkins sewed the first ones in a Sierra Madre, California garage — and it went on to define modern duty retention, including the industry’s first Level III retention holster. 911 Network stocks the Safariland duty line deep — outfitting one officer or a whole agency, ask the Network and we’ll spec the right fit.
