Safariland Model 6304: built for the Glock 17
The Safariland Model 6304 exists for one job: keep a Glock 17 exactly where it belongs until the moment its owner needs it. That’s the balance Safariland has been refining since 1964.
Why officers trust it
- SafariLaminate construction. Safariland’s duty laminate shrugs off impact, rain, and vehicle-frame abuse that ends leather rigs.
- 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.
- 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 17 with the Streamlight TLR-2 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 17 with the Streamlight TLR-2 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.
