This holster comes with the optional SLS Sentry and SLS Hood Guard pre-installed, bringing it up to Level III Retention.

The Model 6280 with Sentry and Hood Guard is a Level III Retention™ holster with a top draw and straight drop cant, a style popular with major police departments and a personal choice for individual officers. These features allow for a quick, easy draw and a familiar feel.

The Safariland SELF LOCKING SYSTEM™
A higher level of holster safety. Made simple.

Safariland's revolutionary SELF LOCKING SYSTEM™ holsters feature a patented rotating hood design which secures the gun in the holster more effectively than a traditional thumb break retention system possibly can.

SLS Self-Locking Hood: Since there's no snap, the SLS allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted weapon takeaways. You simply push down on the hood and rotate forward as you obtain your shooting grip-a move that takes no more a move that takes no more time than opening a snap. Re-holstering is faster and far easier than with a thumb break holster. You just pull back on the hood and the SLS system locks itself. No snaps. No straps. And it's all done with one hand.

Take retention to another level in practically no-time with these SLS options.
You can order your Safariland SLS holster with either or both of these popular, practical options preinstalled. Or order them separately for an easy bolt-on retrofit to any SLS holster.

SLS Sentry adds an additional level of security…in two-tenths of second.

SLS Hood Guard provides more protection against grabs; no moving parts.

SLS Sentry and Hood Guard combine to give you maximum protection.

SAFARI-LAMINATE™ Proven durability. Lasting good looks. And a perfect fit. Safariland’s original and most extensive collection of holsters and accessories Law enforcement professionals recognize SAFARI-LAMINATE as the hallmark of the modern Safariland line. Each piece is molded to the shape of the weapons or accessories it is made to carry, then heat laminated with a durable, attractive SAFARI-LAMINATE finish. Maintenance is almost too easy. SAFARI-LAMINATE will not absorb water or sweat, so it keeps its shape and secure fit no matter how many times it gets wet. It dries quickly and cleans with just mild soap and water. A little ArmorAll Protectant keeps your holster or gear pouches looking new on the outside. While a soft Safari-Suede™ liner absorbs excess oils or lubricants, and protects the finish of your guns and gear on the inside. No matter which finish you choose, you’ll enjoy long-lasting security for your weapon and critical equipment, more comfort during long, slow shifts…and reliability during high-speed operations.
