Safariland Model 6520: built for the Taser X26P
Retention you don’t think about is the point of the Safariland Model 6520 with Level II retention. Holster the Taser X26P and it locks; draw it the way you trained and it’s simply there.
Why officers trust it
- SafariLaminate construction. Safariland’s duty laminate shrugs off impact, rain, and vehicle-frame abuse that ends leather rigs.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in STX Basket Weave, STX Plain, STX Tactical to match agency uniform standards.
- SLS (Self-Locking System) rotating hood. A deliberate push-down-and-forward motion no one can defeat from in front of you, adding a layer between your sidearm and a grab.
- Level II retention. Two independent retention mechanisms stand between the pistol and a gun grab — each defeated naturally by the wearer’s trained draw, and only by it.
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
Is it available left-handed?
This listing covers left hand and right hand configurations — pick your hand in the options above before adding to cart.
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 II retention design of the type worn by patrol officers nationwide; approval always rests with your agency’s uniform and equipment policy.
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.
