The Safariland 6360RDS is a Level III retention duty holster built for the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 carried with a weapon-mounted light and a red dot sight. It pairs the Automatic Locking System with the Self Locking System rotating hood, giving patrol officers and military users active retention that locks the pistol in every direction the moment it seats. The mid-ride profile keeps the gun close to the body for a balanced carry on a duty belt, while the open design accommodates an optic-equipped slide. For agencies that issue the M&P 9, this is one of the more secure duty holsters available.
Construction is thermal-molded SafariLaminate with a suede-lined interior that protects the pistol's finish and the optic's housing. The Self Locking System hood rotates forward and doubles as a shroud, keeping dirt, water, and debris off the red dot when the gun is holstered. Drawing is a straight-up motion with no twisting once the thumb releases the locking mechanisms. The holster mounts to a 2.25-inch duty belt and supports a wide list of factory-mounted optics, including Holosun 407, 507, 508, and 509, Leupold Deltapoint Pro, Trijicon, and Vortex Viper and Venom. Weapon light compatibility covers Streamlight TLR-1 and TLR-1 HL, Surefire X300 and X300U, and Nightstick TWM-series units. Available finishes include STX Plain, STX Tactical, Basket Weave, and Cordura.
This holster fits officers running an optic-and-light setup who need retention that holds up through foot pursuits, vehicle work, and physical struggles. The Level III system resists weapon takeaways while still allowing a fast, intuitive draw once both releases are defeated under the thumb. If you carry the Streamlight TLR-1 HL on your M&P 9, confirm your light and red dot combination against the fit chart, since Safariland notes that non-factory optic mounts can affect clearance. Pair it with our weapon light options and round out your rig from our duty gear selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearm does the 6360RDS fit?
This holster is cut for the Smith & Wesson M&P 9, including the M2.0, Compact, and CORE variants, set up with a red dot sight and a weapon-mounted light. Because optic depth and slide placement vary, Safariland cannot guarantee fit with non-factory mounted red dots, so verify your exact configuration before ordering.
What retention level does the 6360RDS provide?
It delivers Level III retention by combining the Automatic Locking System with the Self Locking System rotating hood. The pistol locks in all directions when holstered. The draw is a straight-up motion once both releases are operated under the thumb, with no twisting required.
Which weapon lights work with this holster?
Compatible lights include the Streamlight TLR-1 and TLR-1 HL, Surefire X300 and X300U, Olight PL-Pro Valkyrie, and the Nightstick TWM-30, TWM-350, and TWM-850 series. Confirm your light and optic combination against the fit chart, since both affect clearance inside the holster body.
What belt size does the 6360RDS mount to?
The mid-ride configuration is built for a 2.25-inch duty belt. The mid-ride drop keeps the pistol close to the body for a balanced carry position that works well on a standard patrol belt setup.
Does the holster protect the red dot sight?
Yes. The Self Locking System hood rotates forward over the slide and acts as a shroud, shielding the red dot from dirt, water, mud, and debris while holstered. The suede-lined interior also helps protect both the pistol finish and the optic housing.
