Safariland Model 6390: built for the Glock 17 Gen 1-4
When a shift goes sideways, the holster is the one piece of gear that has to work twice — hold the Glock 17 Gen 1-4 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.
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 17 Gen 1-4 with its weapon light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
- 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 Hi Gloss, 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
What does the retention level mean?
Safariland grades duty holsters by the number of independent locking mechanisms between the pistol and anyone who isn’t the officer wearing it. This model is Level I — one independent retention mechanism, each one released naturally during a trained draw.
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 17 Gen 1-4 with its weapon light in place. Run the exact pistol/light pairing before ordering — a bare pistol in a light-bearing shell will sit loose.
Is it available left-handed?
