The Safariland 6304 ALS Tactical Holster includes all the features of the popular 6004 Tactical holster, with one key addition – Safariland's exclusive Automatic Locking System (ALS). While this model employs the SLS as the primary security system, it also includes the ALS internal locking device that retains the weapons in all directions when the primary device is open.
The Model 6304 Tactical Holster design provides three key design elements different than previous models. Once the weapon is holstered, it “locks” into place, providing an extra measure of security for the weapon. Further, the holster is completely operable with the thumb, making it very instinctive to use. And finally, once these retention devices are released, the weapon can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting or other motion required.
The inclusion of the SLS rotating hood system is ideal for the tactical situations encountered today. Since there is no snap, the SLS allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted weapon takeaways and provides reliability in the unpredictable conditions that occur during tactical operations. The hood can only be released by simultaneously being pushed down and rotated forward and actually becomes more secure when upward force is applied.
The tactical finish protects the gun in scrape, scratch and dent incidents. Thermal-molded SafariLaminate protects the gun and the molded sight track and soft SafariSuede help protect the sight and finish. Key to comfort and stability of the 6304 is the double leg strap and the leg shroud. The leg harness is lightweight and simple to operate.
