The Safariland 6360 Duty Holster is compatible with the Glock 17, 22, and 31 models when equipped with a light. These specific models are the only Glock variants confirmed for this holster’s design to ensure the retention mechanisms function correctly.
The Safariland 6360 ALS/SLS Level 3 Retention Holster, which we selected for our comparison based on its high-security locking systems, features a mid-ride height and a 2″ belt loop compatibility. For a duty holster buyer, verifying specific model compatibility is critical because a slide that is too short or a grip that is too thick can prevent the ALS or SLS mechanisms from fully engaging, creating a safety risk during a draw. While the holster fits the 17, 22, and 31, you must confirm if your firearm has a threaded barrel or a compensator, as these additions can change the slide profile and prevent the holster from seating flush. Additionally, ensure your magazine baseplate does not protrude beyond the holster’s geometry, and verify that aftermarket extended slide faces or custom grip textures do not interfere with the internal locking path. For details on specific clearance for non-standard modifications, consult the manufacturer’s official compatibility page.
What to Check Before Buying the Safariland 6360 Holster
Before purchasing this leather-look holster, verify these technical details to ensure a secure fit for your specific setup:
- Confirm your Glock model is specifically a 17, 22, or 31 to ensure the locking geometry matches.
- Measure your magazine baseplate to ensure it does not protrude past the holster‘s front face.
- Check that your firearm does not have a compensator or threaded barrel that alters the slide’s profile.
- Verify that any aftermarket grip textures or slide faces do not interfere with the ALS/SLS locking movement.
- Ensure your duty belt has a 2″ loop to accommodate the holster’s mounting system.
Comparing the Safariland 6360 Holster to Other Options
This holster serves as a high-security option for those who prioritize Level 3 retention and the reliability of the ALS (Automatic Locking System) or SLS (Self Locking System). It is a durable, thermal-molded holster designed for professional use. If you require a holster for a Glock model not listed here, such as a “Compact” or “Slimline” variant, or if you need a different ride height to clear specific gear, you should look for a model specifically engineered for those dimensions. Users who do not require the high-security locking of a Level 3 system might find other options more suitable for their specific carry requirements.
