Safariland Model 6390
Retention you don’t think about is the point of the Safariland Model 6390 with Level I retention. Holster the duty sidearm and it locks; draw it the way you trained and it’s simply there.
Why officers trust it
- Mid-Ride carry. Puts the grip right at the natural sweep of the hand — the patrol standard.
- 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.
- Level I retention. One independent retention mechanism 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 this an approved duty holster?
It’s a Level I retention design of the type worn by patrol officers nationwide; approval always rests with your agency’s uniform and equipment policy.
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.
What does the retention level mean?
Safariland grades duty holsters by the number of independent locking mechanisms between the pistol and anyone who isn’t the officer wearing it. This model is Level I — one independent retention mechanism, each one released naturally during a trained draw.
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.
