Safariland Model 7365: built for the Smith & Wesson 45
The Safariland Model 7365 exists for one job: keep a Smith & Wesson 45 exactly where it belongs until the moment its owner needs it with Level III retention. That’s the balance Safariland has been refining since 1964.
Why officers trust it
- 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.
- SafariSeven construction. Safariland’s duty laminate shrugs off impact, rain, and vehicle-frame abuse that ends leather rigs.
- 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
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.
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.
