7305RDS 7TS™ ALS®/SLS™ Tactical Holster w/ Quick-Release Leg Strap for Pistol with Red Dot Optic (RDO)
The Safariland 7305RDS is a tactical thigh holster specifically designed for firearms with red dot optics. The ALS® system locks the firearm in all directions upon holstering and is operable with the thumb; the rotating SLS™ hood adds retention. The quick-release double leg strap and the leg shroud with detachable buckle allow a low-profile carry.
The 7305RDS 7TS™ tactical holster features the ALS® (Automatic Locking System), and is specifically designed to fit and protect firearms with red dot optics. When holstering, the ALS® locks the firearm in all directions. The ALS® is operable with the thumb, and the firearm can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting required.
Additional retention is achieved when used with the rotating SLS™ hood. This model features the quick-release double strap leg shroud with a detachable buckle for low-profile carry. The 7305RDS holster is constructed of the innovative SafariSeven™ material, a high-performance nylon blend. SafariSeven™ is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements. With very high heat and low cold tolerances, it remains structurally sound from 300 °F to −50 °F.
Safariland began in 1964 in a garage in Sierra Madre, California: Neale Perkins built a holster at his father's request and named the company after the African safaris they had enjoyed together. The garage workshop grew into a brand that develops holsters, gear and protective equipment for duty and operational use. The company's guiding idea is "Together, We Save Lives"; Safariland names innovation, performance, excellence and legacy as its values.
- Designed for red dot sights
The holster is specifically designed for firearms with a mounted red dot sight (RDS), which it is designed to fit and protect.
- ALS®/SLS™ retention
The Automatic Locking System (ALS®) locks the firearm in all directions upon holstering and is operable with the thumb, and the firearm is drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting required. The rotating SLS™ hood (Self Locking System, Rotating Hood) adds retention. A Sentry can optionally be added.
- SLS™ hood with optic cover
To release, the SLS™ hood is rotated forward; the SLS™ strap automatically advances the optic cover forward. After holstering, the optic cover and the SLS™ unit are rotated back until they click into the locked position.
- SafariSeven™ nylon
SafariSeven™ is a proprietary nylon blend that is completely non-abrasive to the finish of a firearm. The material is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements.
- Quick-release carry system
The 7305RDS has a quick-release double leg strap and a leg shroud with a detachable buckle for a low-profile carry. The standard leg shroud has mounting holes for optional accessories.
- Air space inside the holster
Raised stand-off surfaces inside the holster create air space around the firearm so that dirt and moisture can quickly clear any contact with the firearm.
- Structurally sound down to −50 °F
The holster stays structurally sound even at very low temperatures, down to −50 °F (approx. −46 °C).
- Structurally sound up to 300 °F
The holster stays structurally sound even at very high temperatures, up to 300 °F (approx. 149 °C).
- Keeps its shape under water
The holster can be submerged in water indefinitely and still maintain its shape and function.
- Carry method
Tactical thigh holster with quick-release double leg strap and detachable buckle; the belt is slid through the upper belt-loop portion of the holster.
Material and craftsmanship
SafariSeven™, a proprietary nylon blend that does not abrade the firearm's finish; matte finish designed to decrease reflection. The SLS™ mechanism is made of stainless steel and chemically resistant plastic.

Notes
- Safariland cannot guarantee that RDS holsters are compatible with non-factory mounted red dots (e.g. Glock MOS, M&P CORE). The depth of the red dot in the slide, the use of a dovetail and the position on the slide can all affect the fit of the holster.
- The manufacturer lists versions for firearms with a mounted light; the fit applies only to the stated combination of firearm model and light module. The approved light must be mounted on the firearm as recommended by the manufacturer so that the retention works properly; a light on the firearm leaves an opening in the holster that could allow access to the trigger.
- A Sentry (model 6001) is available as an option and is not part of the standard scope; it raises the holster to a higher level of security.
- The holster can be used with QLS systems and with the Drop Flex Adapter; the Drop Flex Adapter can only be used with the single leg strap. Neither is part of the delivery.
- Safariland holsters are designed to carry specific firearms; before use, make sure the selected holster is designed for the firearm model.
- The manufacturer requires practice with an unloaded firearm before duty use; a new holster fits more tightly than after a break-in period.
- Do not store the holster near heat sources: heat can deform the polymer and in some cases cause the firearm to be locked in place (manufacturer warning).
- The SLS™ hood must never be left in the forward-rotated position, as the holster's retention is then severely diminished.
- Care: SafariSeven™ can be wiped with a damp cloth; soap and water together with a scouring pad help with cleaning.
