Safariland Model 6305: built for the Glock 20 Gens 1-4
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 20 Gens 1-4 in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6305 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.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in 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
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.
Can I carry with a weapon light mounted?
No — this shell is cut for the Glock 20 Gens 1-4 without a rail-mounted light. If you run a light on duty, look for the light-bearing version of this series instead.
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.
About Safariland
