Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Level III retention work on the Safariland 6360?
The 6360 uses a two-stage retention system. The Automatic Locking System (ALS) automatically engages a locking mechanism that secures the pistol the moment it is seated in the holster — no manual step required. The Self-Locking System (SLS) adds a rotating hood over the back of the slide as a second layer of security. To draw, the shooter deactivates the SLS hood with the thumb and sweeps forward, releasing the ALS simultaneously, for a fast and intuitive single-motion draw once practiced.
Will this holster fit a Glock 19 with a weapon-mounted light or optic?
The standard Safariland 6360 (model 6360-283-411) is designed for the bare Glock 19/23 without a weapon-mounted light or optic. Safariland does offer light-bearing variants of the 6360 (such as those compatible with the SureFire X300 or Streamlight TLR-1) under separate model numbers. If you run a light or red-dot optic, verify the specific model number accommodates your configuration before purchasing.
Is the Safariland 6360 compatible with standard duty belts?
Yes. The 6360 ships with a belt loop attachment compatible with standard 2.25-inch duty belts commonly used in law enforcement. It is also designed to interface with Safariland's Quick Locking System (QLS) and Universal Belt Loop (UBL) accessories, giving you the flexibility to swap the holster between different mounting platforms without tools — ideal for officers who transition between patrol, plain-clothes, or tactical configurations.
