Safariland Model 7365: built for the Glock 23 Gen 5
Ask an armorer what to put a Glock 23 Gen 5 in and this series comes up fast. The Safariland Model 7365 with Level III retention 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.
- 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.
- Low-Ride carry. Drops the grip below belt line — clears body armor, vest kits, and vehicle door frames.
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 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.
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.
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.
