The Safariland Model 6280 SLS Mid-Ride Duty Holster for Glock 17 (1101684) is Safariland‘s top-draw, straight-cant duty holster built for the Glock 17 and Glock 22, using the Self Locking System (SLS) rotating hood for Level II retention. The SLS hood releases only when it’s simultaneously pushed down and rotated forward, which blocks a straight-up grab during an attempted weapon takeaway while still allowing a smooth, single-motion draw for the wearer. The shell is molded from SafariLaminate for durability and easy cleaning, with a tensioning device, a suede lining to protect the pistol’s finish, and a molded sight track. Level II retention can be upgraded to Level III with an optional Sentry device, and the Universal Belt Loop is offered in both 2-inch and 2.25-inch widths.
