The Safariland 6390 ALS Mid-Ride is a duty holster built around the Glock 17 Gen 1-4 w/ Light, pairing a purpose-molded fit with a retention system officers can trust under stress (Safariland part no. 1151436). The Automatic Locking System (ALS) locks the pistol in place the instant it’s holstered, with no strap or snap for the officer to fumble under stress. A mid-ride belt loop keeps the rig riding close to the body for a low-profile duty carry, and a suede lining protects the pistol’s sights and finish on every draw. The molded shell accommodates the pistol with a weapon-mounted light attached, so the setup stays holstered and secure without printing or catching on the draw. It’s built as a Level I retention open-top holster for uniformed patrol duty, offering fast presentation without the bulk of a full thumb-break flap.

Key Specifications

• Uses the Automatic Locking System (ALS), an internal lock that engages the moment the pistol seats, so there is no external strap to release under stress.
• Rated for Level I retention, the entry point of Safariland’s duty retention tiers, balancing security with a fast presentation.
• A mid-ride belt loop keeps the holster riding close to the body rather than sitting low on the leg.
• The interior suede lining protects the pistol’s sights and finish from wear on every draw and reholster.
• Molded to accommodate the pistol with a weapon-mounted light attached, keeping the light-equipped setup fully seated and secure.
• Molded specifically for the Glock 17 Gen 1-4 w/ Light, so the fit is snug without needing an aftermarket shim.
• The thumb-actuated ALS release lets the shooter disengage the lock and draw in one motion, without a separate strap or button.
• Open-top design keeps the silhouette low and speeds up the presentation compared to a strap-retained holster.
