Safariland 6280 SLS Mid-Ride Level II Retention Duty Holster for Glock 17

The Safariland 6280 SLS Mid-Ride is a top-draw, straight-cant duty holster molded for the Glock 17 (Safariland part no. 1101696). Its Self Locking System (SLS) rotating hood allows a smoother single-motion draw while adding real protection against an attempted weapon takeaway, since the hood only releases when pushed down and rotated forward at the same time. Built from durable, easy-to-clean SafariLaminate, the shell includes a tensioning device and a molded sight track that protects the pistol’s finish and front sight through years of daily wear. Officers who need more security can add an optional Sentry device to step this Level II holster up to Level III retention.
