6390RDS ALS® Mid-Ride Duty Rated Level I Retention™ Holster for Pistol RDO
The Safariland 6390RDS is an open-top duty holster with Level I Retention™ designed specifically for firearms with a mounted red dot sight. The ALS® system (Automatic Locking System) retains the firearm internally in all directions, with no straps or snaps to manipulate; the holster is fully operable with the thumb. The mid-ride belt loop keeps the holster close to the body, and the suede lining protects the firearm's finish. The manufacturer also offers this model series in versions for firearms with a light.
The 6390RDS holster is specifically designed for firearms with red dot sights mounted to them. This open-top holster features the Automatic Locking System (ALS®), an internal locking device that retains the firearm in all directions with no straps or snaps to manipulate. Once the firearm is holstered, it locks into place. The holster is completely operable with the thumb, and once the ALS® is deactivated, a simple straight-up draw is used. It features a mid-ride belt loop that rides close to the body.
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
- 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.
