Safariland Model 6360RDS: built for the Glock 47
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 47 in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6360RDS with Level III retention is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- 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.
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 47 with its weapon light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
- Mid-Ride carry. Puts the grip right at the natural sweep of the hand — the patrol standard.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in STX Basket Weave, STX Plain, 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 it available left-handed?

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. 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.
