Safariland Model 7304: built for the H&K P2000 DAO
Ask an armorer what to put a H&K P2000 DAO in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 7304 is a standard-issue answer for a reason.
Why officers trust it
- 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
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 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.
Can I carry with a weapon light mounted?
No — this shell is cut for the H&K P2000 DAO without a rail-mounted light. If you run a light on duty, look for the light-bearing version of this series instead.
