Safariland Model 6365: built for the Glock 17
Retention you don’t think about is the point of the Safariland Model 6365 with Level III retention. Holster the Glock 17 and it locks; draw it the way you trained and it’s simply there.
Why officers trust it
- Low-Ride carry. Drops the grip below belt line — clears body armor, vest kits, and vehicle door frames.
- 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.
- 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
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 III — three independent retention mechanisms, each one released naturally during a trained draw.
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 17 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.
About Safariland
