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

The Safariland Model 6280 SLS Mid-Ride duty holster (Safariland part no. 1101580) fits the Glock 17 and 22 in a top-draw, straight-cant design built around the Self Locking System (SLS) rotating hood. That hood releases only when pushed down and rotated forward at the same time, which allows a smoother single-motion draw while giving much greater protection against an attempted weapon takeaway than a simple snap. Rated at Level II Retention out of the box, the 6280 can be upgraded to Level III with the addition of an optional Sentry device for departments that require it. The shell is built from durable, easy-to-clean SafariLaminate with a tensioning device, a suede lining, and a molded sight track to protect the pistol, and the Universal Belt Loop is offered in both a 2-inch and 2.25-inch width to match different duty belts.
