6365RDS ALS®/SLS Low-Ride, Duty Rated Level III Retention™ Holster for Pistol RDO
The Safariland 6365RDS is a duty holster with Level III Retention™ designed specifically for firearms with a mounted red dot sight. The ALS® system secures the firearm automatically once it is holstered and releases it in a straight draw after the retention is deactivated. The thermoformed SafariLaminate™ construction with a suede lining helps protect the firearm's sights and finish. The manufacturer also offers this model series in versions for firearms with a light.
The 6365RDS holster is specifically designed for firearms with red dot sights mounted to them. Its Automatic Locking System (ALS®) builds on the foundation of the Self Locking System (SLS™). It locks the firearm in all directions upon holstering, is operable with the thumb, and the firearm can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting required.
Safariland® cannot guarantee that RDS holsters will be compatible with non-factory-mounted red dot sights. Numerous variables, including depth of the RDS into the slide, use of a dovetail and placement on the slide, can all affect the fit of the holster.
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.

Notes
- Level IV Retention™ is only possible with the optional Sentry device, which is not part of the standard scope.
- The manufacturer cannot guarantee that RDS holsters fit red dot sights that were not factory-mounted: depth of the optic in the slide, use of a dovetail and position on the slide all affect the fit. The confirmed combination of firearm model and optic is decisive.
- For versions with a light, the fit applies only to the specified combination of firearm model and light.
- A new holster fits more tightly; practice is required before duty use with a loaded firearm until the draw from the fully secured holster can be made in under two seconds under simulated stress.
- After the optic cover is removed, the small roller supplied with the holster is installed in the same receptacle.
- 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.
