6285 SLS Low-Ride, Duty Rated Level II Retention™ Holster
The Safariland 6285 is a duty holster with Level II Retention™ in a low-ride configuration. The rotating hood of the SLS™ allows a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways; Level III Retention™ can be achieved with the optional Sentry. The SafariLaminate™ construction is durable and easy to clean, and the suede lining helps protect the firearm's finish.
This holster features the Self Locking System (SLS™) rotating hood and the low-ride Universal Belt Loop (UBL) that mounts to a 2" (50 mm) or 2.25" (58 mm) duty belt. The SLS™ allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways. An optional Sentry can be installed to achieve Level III Retention™. A molded sight track and suede lining are included. The SafariLaminate™ construction is durable and easy to clean.
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.
- SLS™: rotating hood
The Self Locking System (SLS™) secures the firearm with a rotating hood. It can only be released by being pushed down and rotated forward at the same time. This allows a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways.
- Level II Retention™
Duty holster with Level II Retention™. Level III Retention™ can be achieved with an optionally installed Sentry.
- Top draw, straight draw
The holster is a top-draw holster with a straight-drop cant: the firearm is drawn straight up.
- Low-ride with Universal Belt Loop (UBL)
The low-ride molded Universal Belt Loop comes in two sizes for duty belts 2" (50 mm) or 2.25" (58 mm) wide.
- SafariLaminate™
The thermoformed SafariLaminate™ construction is durable and easy to clean.
- Suede lining
The suede lining helps protect the firearm's finish.
- Molded sight track
The holster has a molded sight track.
- Adjustable tension
A tensioning device lets you adapt the retention tension to your firearm. According to the manufacturer, it is adjusted with an Allen-head screw: clockwise for more retention, counterclockwise for less.
- Fits for pistols and revolvers
The manufacturer offers fits for pistols and revolvers, each for firearms with and without a rail-mounted light. The selected firearm model is decisive.
- Carry method
Duty holster worn outside the waistband (OWB) in low-ride position with Universal Belt Loop; top draw with straight-drop cant.
Material and craftsmanship
Thermoformed SafariLaminate™ construction; suede lining. According to the manufacturer, the SLS™ mechanism is made of stainless steel and chemically resistant plastic.

Notes
- Level III Retention™ is only possible with the optional Sentry device, which is not part of the standard scope.
- The manufacturer requires practice with an unloaded firearm before duty use with a loaded one; do not store the holster near heat sources, as heat can deform the polymer.
- Care according to the manufacturer: wipe SafariLaminate™ with a clean damp cloth, clean suede with a soft brush.
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
