Safariland Model 6360: built for the Glock 22 Gen 5
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 22 Gen 5 in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6360 with Level III retention is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- Mid-Ride carry. Puts the grip right at the natural sweep of the hand — the patrol standard.
- 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.
- Level III retention. Three 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
Can I carry with a weapon light mounted?
No — this shell is cut for the Glock 22 Gen 5 without a rail-mounted light. If you run a light on duty, look for the light-bearing version of this series instead.
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 III 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.
