6305RDS ALS®/SLS Tactical Holster w/ Quick-Release Leg Strap for Pistol RDO
The Safariland 6305RDS is a tactical thigh holster for pistols with a red dot sight (RDO/RDS). The ALS® system locks the firearm automatically once it is holstered, and the SLS rotating hood adds further retention. The suede lining helps protect the firearm's sights and finish, and the double leg strap with quick release and leg shroud is designed for a low-profile carry on the leg.
The Safariland 6305RDS is an ALS®/SLS tactical thigh holster for pistols with red dot sights. The pistol locks automatically when holstered. The SLS rotating hood provides additional retention. After releasing the retention systems, the pistol can be drawn straight up.
The suede lining helps protect the sights and firearm finish. The SLS rotating hood complements ALS® locking. The model family uses a leg shroud with two leg straps and a detachable buckle on the vertical strap.
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.
- ALS®/SLS retention
The ALS® (Automatic Locking System) locks the firearm in all directions once it is holstered and is operable with the thumb. Once the releases are deactivated, the firearm is drawn straight up with no twisting.
- Designed for red dot sights
The 6305RDS is specifically designed for pistols with a mounted red dot sight (RDO/RDS). The holster has a removable optic cover (Optic Cover).
- Leg shroud with quick release
The double leg strap with quick release and the leg shroud with detachable buckle are designed for a low-profile carry on the leg. The vertical leg strap is adjustable and has a quick-release detachable leg harness; silicone strips on the leg strap provide non-slip traction.
- SafariLaminate™
The thermoformed SafariLaminate™ construction protects the handgun and its sights.
- Suede lining
The suede lining helps protect the firearm's sights and finish.
- Hood Guard standard
The Hood Guard is standard on the 6305RDS.
- Adjustable tension
An adjustment screw, accessible from the muzzle end of the holster, lets you set the retention tension so that unnecessary movement in the muzzle area is removed. Do not over-tighten, so that the draw is not affected.
- Carry method
Tactical thigh holster (drop-leg) with leg shroud, double leg strap with quick release and a detachable buckle on the vertical strap.
Material and craftsmanship
Thermoformed SafariLaminate™ with suede lining; the finish is Cordura® nylon or STX Tactical®, depending on the version.

Notes
- Safariland cannot guarantee that RDS holsters are compatible with non-factory mounted red dot sights (e.g. Glock MOS, M&P CORE). The milling depth of the sight in the slide, use of a dovetail and the position on the slide affect the fit.
- The holster is designed for pistols with an approved, mounted light system; the light must be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- If the optic cover is removed, the optic cover instructions says to install the small roller included with the holster in the same place.
- The Sentry (6001) and the Hood Guard/Sentry combination (6002) are optionally available and not part of the standard scope; the Sentry raises the holster's security level.
- 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: 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.
