Safariland Model 6004: built for the Glock 23C
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 23C in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6004 is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- 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.
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 23C with the SureFire Light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
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
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 23C with the SureFire 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?
This listing is right hand-hand only as stocked. Ask the Network if you need the opposite-hand SKU — Safariland builds most models both ways.
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.
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. Need a fitment double-checked before you order? Ask the Network — we spec Safariland rigs for individual officers and full agencies alike.
