Safariland Model 6395RDS: built for the Glock 17 MOS
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 17 MOS in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 6395RDS with Level I retention is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- Uniform-matched finishes. Offered in Cordura, 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.
- 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.
- Light-bearing fit. Molded for the Glock 17 MOS with its weapon light mounted, so the pistol rides tight with the light in place.
- Optic-ready cut. Clears a slide-mounted red dot without giving up the locking hardware.
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
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.
Will it fit my weapon light?
This is a light-bearing model, molded for the Glock 17 MOS 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 optic-compatible?
Yes — the RDS designation means the shell is cut to clear a slide-mounted red dot, so you don’t have to choose between your optic and your retention level.
