Awesome comment, and the RDS is popping up a little cheaper which is nice! I actually did some messing around with mine and got it “fixed” from the issues I was having I plan on making a video here soon discussing it! My spring was a little messed up from Safariland

*cordera* covered. Fucking autocorrect!

Yeah I think I just got a wack holster Im replacing it and seeing if I continue to have any issues!

Works perfect for me. Out of the box the RDS works absolutely w/o any flaws.

I'll have to look into that, I actually plan on ordering some stuff for "modding" out the safari lands!

@@RedactedGear I think this will be likely putting a 5th gen 4-5 into a rig built for a gen 4 19. What is SL doing? They make these to order, why not design 5th gen holsters? All it would take is tweaking their molds. Do not get it.

(Lefty shooter here).., I took the plug out of the weaponlight side of the holster.., right after a spent cartridge got caught in it, and prevented re-holstering…

Yeah man its still a super nice holster but I feel like they had something good with the DO and tried to over complicate it with the RDS. I will probably be selling mine here soon after some more testing.

Glad I could help!

There isn’t anything wrong with the 6390, I find it to be a good holster just not for me.. my personal gripe with the holster is that my personal holster experiences a lot of lock ups if any amount of upward pressure at all is applied to the holster, my 6354 will still let go of the gun with upward pressure applied before the initial button press. Thats my only issue with the 6390 thats an actual mechanical issue. I dont like the size of the 6390 but thats a personal thing

It should work as long as the gen5 glock 17’s have no real dimensional changes or size differences. I use the tlr1-hl in the DO holster and they work just fine, you may just need to tighten the screw at the bottom side of the holster to tighten the draw / kydex around the light

Thanks man!!!!

@@RedactedGear just got my 6354DO in the mail today 🤙

Thanks! For the optic part, no it does not get stuck, I have caught it on the 6390RDS a bunch but the 6354DO works just fine without an optic! Mine still doesn't have an optic on it and I haven't had that issue, once you get it and try it you'll be pretty good with it! Surefire X300U as well!

Will work with or without an optic! There is a version that doesn’t have a light though so be aware when ordering

With a DO holster mine works just fine

Should work for you! I know my one buddy took his barrel plug out of the 17 6354Do and runs a 19 with a comp and minimal modification

@@RedactedGear awesome! Thanks

Thanks man! Yeah when I bought mine they were all closer to $200 all said and done with some of the QLS fork attachments. It looks like a lot of places are running sales on the holsters so I would definitely hop on while the sales are going on. The RDS is a super solid option I have just found troubles with the slight raise on the thumb "switch" not allowing for as much of a comfortable draw compared to the DO. Both super solid options can't go wrong either way!

100percent get the nub mod. It’s worth it’s weight in gold if you ask me!

That I am unsure of, Im not sure if the slight differences in the P80 frame would hinder anything, I think it should work but with that light you mentioned possibly not

I don’t believe it will fit in a DO, but then again I could be wrong I only have the tlr1 HL’s and x300’s so I cant confirm fitment, I haven’t even seen those tlr3’s in person 😂

@@RedactedGear well, now im more tempted to get the DO. If it fits cool, if not....even more reason to get the TLR1-HL 🤣 Thanks bud!

I have seen 6354’s fit acros with very little modification, Id recommend trying it with heat and kind of reforming the hood, and if it needs more “frontal” clearance to take a cut off wheel to the front portion just in front of the hood on the actual holster (part that sits right above the ejection port) if that makes sense. Not sure how a P2 would change any of that as I know its sized a little different

@@RedactedGear thanks for the reply. I know which area of the holster u are referring to. I’ll have to mess around and see if it works. Thanks again

In theory it should, the length should be correct but I am not 100% certain, I will be able to test this for sure later this week when I get my hands on my buddy's 19X.

Absolutely will . I have a G45 with Holosun 509t direct milled with Streamlight tlr1hl and it fits my DO & 6390 rds which are both G17 compatible . I just always get the G17 compatible Safariland holsters as I switch between the holsters quite a bit working the day job or side gigs dictating kit .. thank God for QLS

Thats why I took mine off I kept catching my front sight/slide on it and kept launching it 😂

Why I want the hoodless variant. They need to dump that feature. Have yet to hear a positive thing about it.

I have heard the hoods do need modifications to fit anything other than an rmr which kinda blows paying so much for a holster on top of having to buy so much stuff along with it to make it worth the investment

So the 63 54do will work with the P80? Gen3?

I have been using them both for a bit now, I have gotten used to the different placement of the ALS but the holster is still locking onto the gun even when depressed I believe my ALS system is out of spec. I am slowly warming up to the 6390 in terms of its size and differences but the lockup issue is the one thing keeping me from liking it more.

@@RedactedGear Yeah bro that's a pretty big issue . Safariland has a horrid website as far as the holster finder goes but they do have fantastic customer service . I was having a fitment issue when we were first issued our gen5 G17's 4 summer's ago with the torch fitment in the also new Safariland 7ts torch compatible holster . After I explained to Safariland's customer service that school was starting in a few days and I really needed that holster and I would do whatever they wanted me to do they said "No worries , a new one is on the way " . I received the new Safariland 7ts torch compatible holster dated 6/18 which is gen5 compatible (which was the issue my department wouldn't help me with) within 5 days at my front door . The Safariland rep was very helpful after I told her my issue & that I couldn't have the holster not work when I needed it she was all over it . 🤷🏻‍♂️ Couldn't hurt to give them a call

6390 RDS would be my next choice, but what makes you say the gen 5 wont work with the 6354? (I haven’t had a gen 5 to test in my holster) may be something I have to look into 🏴‍☠️

@@RedactedGear well it looks like on the website its not a choice for gen5. 4 and below. something about ambi slide release. But i saw they have a 6354RDS.. might get that

You can use without a light, it just makes it somewhat awkward because of the empty space for the light!

@@RedactedGear so it does wobble around or is it just difficult to holster

It does wobble a little, but most just awkward to get reholstered without a light

My DO just arrived and it fits my Shadow mr920L perfectly without the light 0 wobble. Light arrives today. I ordered the Streamlight TLR7a fingers crossed

I'm sure you could get something from safariland and have it modified, I know a lot of guys will bevel out the 6354DO to clearance optics, unfortunately they only make holsters like this for surefire x300's and TLR-1's not the T7

@@RedactedGear Thanks for getting back to me I will look into it

I just ordered a 7390RDS for a G45 with RMR and TLR-7. I wish I knew if the Holosun 507 would fit or not.

According to Safariland website the 7360 RDS will work with the G19 Gen 5 with holosun 507 & TLR-7 but it’ll run you $170 with a cupon code and $230 out-right.

Just got one for the staccato, once its done being wrapped and modded by ghostmen I will make a vid!

​@RedactedGear awesome can't wait to see it. I'm not sure I like the als lever but I'm sure you'll go over it too

I think the RDS serves a purpose I just think Safariland took one step forward in some places and three steps back on other things with the 6390. I get a lot of flack for this video but honestly I'm just not a fan when the 6354 DO just works with no gimmicks.

@@RedactedGear Yea. I think that the flack that they took over the gap in the trigger guard with the light bearing holsters made them change design. Not a fan. The 7ts holsters are way better. Thats what I will stick too until yet another change. I think in this case they actually listened to reviews too much. They shouldve just stuck to what THEY do best….designing holsters that work.

I don’t believe the TLR7 would work amazingly but it could possibly work depending on size compared to the TLR1 and TLR1 HL

Just tried this on my 6354do and didn't fit very well. It retains the pistol but it's really loose in there. Didn't try tightening the retention screw tho. Doing that would prob make it more manageable but still not super great.

Yes you can! Unfortunately it is a little awkward to re-holster without a light but it is useable without a light!

@@RedactedGear thanks for the reply appreciate it a lot

Also I bought both through optactical, RDS was 185 in Feb '21, DO was 133 in August '19 both before shipping. RDS didn't come with the fork either. RDS was very tight at first but seems better now after use. I didn't adjust anything on either one because i never bothered looking into it. The DO seems very loose but it is a smoother draw for sure. It seems like the RDS internals are tight. They are my first Safariland holsters, so I don't have much to compare too other Safarilands but I can compare to a couple T-Rex Ragnaroks and they are great holsters too, but I seem to like the draw better on the Safariland DO. The only reason for getting the RDS is because Im going to try the Trijicon SRO over my RMR and the DO is too small, the RDS can be modified from what Ive seen here on YT. Sorry for the ramblings. I requested a follow on IG too. dune stock

Awesome man Im glad to hear that, and thanks so much for the support, I love making these videos to kind of show off this stuff before someone drops serious coin on something and hates it, I've just found with the RDS the thumb button placement is off just enough to lock me out from a draw sometimes and like I said I take that thumb guard off every time I use it because it seems to just block my hand or I hit the guard with my hand all together, I know that comes down to training at a certain point but the thumb button placement is just not as smooth and natural like the DO is for me!

DO is older, RDS is newer, slight updates and what not but both are great. I have ran irons forward and rear with an optic in both and never had an issue

Yes a 19 will fit in the safari lands I have but it will come up about a half inch short

Slr rifle works

I am here for the ppl 🫡

BRUH DONT EXPOSE ME LIKE THAT 😩😂

@@RedactedGear lol

Yeah I was just thinking KZfaq should have a “flip video” feature so viewers can flip the handedness. Just mirror it over to the other side we won’t even notice except for written words which like 90% of these reviews don’t have. Darn lefties making such unrelatable content

😂😂😂

Yeah I believe so, I always see them popping back in stock on sites like OP Tactical!

They have been discontinued by Safariland. New/old stock pops up from time to time. The 6-series and 7-series RDS options are the manufacturer replacement units. By the Nub-Mod for the newer RDS and call it a day.

It is still possible to find DO's with some searching. Of course they will always propose you the RDS. They need to sell what the have in stock. )))

@@BountyXP I agree. The nubmod is fantastic. Just got my 6360RDS and I put a nubmod on right away. Makes for quite an improvement.

Locktite should solve the issue.

Yeah grab some blue locktite from Home Depot! You’d be surprised how many times its come in handy for that and other little things!

Yes. without any issues.

It kinda works but I would not recommend doing that its finicky

Im wrong handed 😪

@@RedactedGear that's myst be hard to find used holsters

I want to like the RDS so bad, but I am having a lot of issues with mine, still experiencing lock ups which is my main issue with it (could just be my holster I have contacted safari land about it) Im also using a glock with no RMR and only a light. Hopefully safari land will take a look at it and see whats going on!

Oh ok, they have a store?

Its a left handed holster and I'm still debating on selling it

@@RedactedGear I’m left handed please keep me in the loop if you want to get rid of it.

Constantly working on my setups, I have changed a few things since that video!

Hey now!

No I understand that 100% I use that holster on and off, I am just experiencing an actual lock up and that is a problem for me. I do take the hood on and off, I just meant more so if I leave it on I leave the hood closed is what I meant to get across, Im personally not a fan of the new hood design I understand why they did it but Im just not a fan and that may be different for everyone. If I could grow longer thumbs I would man trust me 😂

I know where he’s coming from. I had an rds and loved everything about it…until it was time to reholster. Felt like a square peg going into a round hole. Crazy. It was sold next day. Gotta use what you are comfortable with. To each their own. And I think in this video he was just basically saying that.

Oh, that being said, I have probably 12 other Safarilands, from sls to als to sls/als and none of those are hard to reholster with red dot or not.

The glock does have a trijicon rmr, I was in the process of building a slide with a dot

It makes a difference when you actually use it and the added half inch of holster length and the fact it sits up higher, just not a fan personally

I do run an optic, that was just my stock slide. I stand by the 6390 being boof. I put the nub mod on it and its a little better for me, it's just weird to me idk.

My bad chief

Boi get your NRA-supporting, built like boneless chicken wing, boxcar headass outta here
