Does the Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS duty holster fit a left-handed mid ride position?

No, the Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS does not natively support a left-handed mid-ride position because it is designed as a right-handed duty holster. While the holster features a mid-ride design for right-handed users, it does not include a reversible mounting system or a specific left-hand version to accommodate a left-handed draw.

The Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS is a Level 3 retention holster made from SafariSeven nylon, designed to fit a Glock 17, 22, or 31 with an ITI LAM Unit (4.5″). Because duty holsters are used in high-stakes environments, ensuring the holster does not “walk” or cause trigger interference during a draw is critical for safety. We selected this model for our review because it represents a standard in professional-grade locking systems. For a left-handed user, the lack of a reversible mounting system means the holster would be mounted on the wrong side of the body, which can lead to a restricted range of motion or a “grabbed” grip. You must confirm with the manufacturer’s support page whether a specific left-handed model exists or if a custom mounting modification is possible for your specific belt setup.

Checklist for Left-Handed Orientation and Fit

Before purchasing a duty holster for a non-standard orientation, verify these technical requirements to ensure the gear functions correctly on your belt.

For a detailed breakdown of all features, see our full Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS review.

• Verify if the holster requires a specific belt thickness to maintain the intended mid-ride cant without tilting forward.
• Confirm if there are specific mounting hardware requirements to provide clearance for a left-handed orientation.
• Check if the retention mechanism can engage properly when the holster is angled at a mid-ride position.
• Determine the “sweet spot” for placement on the belt to ensure a natural grip without grabbing the holster.
• Ensure the holster’s footprint does not interfere with your hip or clothing when positioned on the opposite side of the body.

Comparing the Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS to Other Options

The Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS is a heavy-duty holster and belt carrier designed to secure a firearm with high-level retention. For a left-handed user, the primary consideration is whether you need a holster built specifically for left-handed orientation or a modular system that allows for side-swapping. If you require a setup that is natively mirrored for left-handed use, you should look for holsters that explicitly list “left-hand” compatibility in the specifications. Users who prioritize a specific grip angle or a mirrored layout over the specific brand of the locking system should consider alternatives that offer dedicated left-handed configurations.

If you are a right-handed user who requires a high-retention, mid-ride holster for a Glock 17 or 22, the Safariland 7360 ALS/SLS is a reliable choice. However, if you are a left-handed user, you should look for a model specifically engineered for left-handed orientation to ensure a safe and natural draw.
