Safariland Model 6360: built for the Glock 17 Gens 1-4
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 17 Gens 1-4 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.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in Basket Weave, Hi Gloss, Plain, STX Basket Weave and more 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.
- 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.
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 Gens 1-4 with its weapon 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 covers left hand and right hand configurations — pick your hand in the options above before adding to cart.
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.
