Safariland Model 6390: built for the Sig Sauer P229R DAK 40 Bobbed Hammer
Ask an armorer what to put a Sig Sauer P229R DAK 40 Bobbed Hammer in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6390 with Level I 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.
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in STX Plain 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.
- 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 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 I 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 supplies Safariland to officers and agencies nationwide — if you’re unsure on fit or finish, ask the Network before you buy.
