7285 7TS™ SLS Low-Ride, Duty Rated Level II Retention™ Holster
The Safariland 7285 is a low-ride duty holster with Level II Retention™: the rotating SLS™ hood allows a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways. The SafariSeven™ material is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements. The Universal Belt Loop mounts to duty belts 2 or 2.25 in. wide.
This holster features the Self Locking System (SLS™) rotating hood and the Universal Belt Loop (UBL) that mounts to a 2 in. (50 mm) or 2.25 in. (58 mm) duty belt. The SLS™ allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways. Includes a molded sight track.
This model is constructed of the innovative SafariSeven™ material, a high performance nylon blend. SafariSeven™ is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements.
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™ retention with rotating hood
The rotating hood of the Self Locking System (SLS™) allows a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted takeaways.
- Level II Retention™
The manufacturer lists the 7285 as a duty holster with Level II Retention™ ("Enhanced Retention"): the SLS mechanism requires two hand movements to disengage. With the optional Sentry installed, Level III Retention™ is possible.
- SafariSeven™, non-abrasive
SafariSeven™ is a high performance nylon blend that is highly durable and practically impervious to the elements. It is completely non-abrasive to a firearm's finish; raised stand-off surfaces inside the holster create air space, so dirt and moisture clear quickly. The matte finish is designed to reduce reflection and can be maintained with a simple scouring pad.
- Cold tolerance down to −50 °F
Structurally sound down to −50 °F (approx. −46 °C); the manufacturer cites a very high cold tolerance.
- Heat tolerance up to 300 °F
Structurally sound up to 300 °F (approx. 149 °C); the manufacturer cites a very high heat tolerance.
- Stable under water
The holster can be submerged in water indefinitely and still maintains shape and function.
- Universal Belt Loop (UBL), low-ride
The Universal Belt Loop (UBL) mounts to duty belts 2 in. (50 mm) or 2.25 in. (58 mm) wide. The holster is a low-ride version with a 1.5 in. (38 mm) belt drop.
- Molded sight track
The holster includes a molded sight track.
- Adjustable tension
A tension adjustment screw on the wedge device inside the holster lets you adjust the fit on the firearm: turn it clockwise to tighten the fit. It should only be adjusted if more resistance is needed.
- Carry method
Duty holster worn outside the waistband (OWB) in low-ride position, with Universal Belt Loop for duty belts 2 in. (50 mm) or 2.25 in. (58 mm) wide.
Material and craftsmanship
SafariSeven™, a high performance nylon blend, non-abrasive to the firearm's finish, with a matte finish and raised stand-off surfaces in the interior. The SLS™ mechanism is made of stainless steel and chemically resistant plastic.

Notes
- Level III Retention™ is only possible with the optional Sentry device. Hood Guard and Sentry are optional accessories (order code examples with installed accessory) and not part of the standard scope.
- The manufacturer lists fits for pistols with and without a mounted light. With a light-equipped firearm, an opening is created in the holster that could allow access to the trigger; the selected firearm model is decisive.
- Before use with a loaded firearm, the manufacturer requires practice with an unloaded firearm. Do not store the holster or accessories near heat sources, as heat can deform the polymer.
- Care: wipe SafariSeven™ with a damp cloth; soap and water and a scouring pad help with cleaning. A firearm fits more tightly in a new holster at first; if the holster remains tight after the break-in period, the manufacturer recommends a liberal amount of common silicone spray inside the holster.
- Manufacturer restriction: S&W M&P40 M2.0: barrel length 4" or 4.25"; with and without thumb safety; S&W M&P: barrel length 4" or 4.25"; with and without thumb safety
