I honestly believe the main reason they developed the 7000 series was for the military contract. The suede lining can get waterlogged. The 7000 is also lighter. I’ve run both and still love my 6360 the best for duty use. It seems a little less noisy as well. When I first started in LE in 2004, I was issued a 6280. Still have that thing as well, and there is nothing wrong with it. The 6360, is definitely lighter in the STX than the older 6280 in Safarilaminate. It is a pretty noticeable difference.
Been running a 6000 series since 2007 without any issues. Great holster and it has been through numerous dynamic courses and 5 years of daily carry as a cop.
Most popular reason why people remove the plug is because if you’re out In the sand, mud, snow and any of those things found their way into the holster while let’s say laying down to fire and it gets packed up with that excess the gun will not be able to seat properly when you reholster your weapon. To avoid all that it’s best to remove it so as crap falls in and as you get up it’s falls out or your gun will push that excess through as you reholster.
I have quit a few of the 6000 series and they've always been great. I recently picked up a 7000 series for the SIG M17 with the LMD. It will also work with the Streamlight TLR7,& TLR7 A. It works fine so far, but I favor the 6000 series. The 6000 just seems easier to fix if something broke than the 7000. Hopefully,the 7000 will hold up, but only time will tell.
I love the 6000 series, HOWEVER, with my p320s I can pull the trigger of some variants while it is holstered. I cannot do this in the 7000 series. Also the 6000s do wear out badly. My local SO kept their 6000s well past their service life. They only got new holsters when one of the deputies got shot by his HOLSTERED m&p when he was fighting for it with a suspect. They replaced them with 7000s which are dramatically tighter around the trigger. The 6000 is definitely the cooler and more feature packed option but in my recent experience the 7000 are slightly “safer”. The state hasn’t had problems with their 6000s but they use Glocks and switch models before their holsters have the chance wear out 🙄. Bottom line is I would recommend everyone civilian or LE to test out both with the model gun that they use before making a choice.
I am seeing about a quarter inch of vertical movement within the 7000 series rds on a Sig Spectre Comp X5 with an Olight Valkyrie. This makes a significant amount of noise whenever I am running. 1) Is this normal for this holster?? If so, I am NOT impressed. 2) Any suggestions on how to perhaps pad the holster internally to prevent this movement and reduce my sound signature? Thanks!
Have both but prefer the 6000 series. Only reason I purchased the 7000 was because the 6000 series would not accommodate the P320 X5 Legion w/o modification. Should have just taken out the plug in a 6 series.
@@sirlost94 This was from a year ago. Yes, the barrel was too long. Would assume that’s still the case. Nothing removing the llug and maybe a little heat gun can’t fix.

I just got my CZ P10F OPTICS READY WITH THREADED BARREL..my light is x300..no red dot yet..Can you please tell my if my gun can fit in a safariland holster?
In the exact same boat. Just got the cz p-10 f optic ready threaded barrel and was looking for a safariland holster for it. Going by the vid I would need a 6000 series instead of the recommended 7000 series for the threaded barrel
@@jcmoon671 So David took a look for you and found that any Safariland holster with the center code 28327 (type that in to our search bar on our website for options) will work for your Glock 23. On this link below our website just lists the Glock 19 and 45, but it is an RDS ready holster that will fit your Glock 23 and the streamlight TLR 7 you mentioned: www.copquest.com/safariland-6390rds-als-level-i-mid-ride-duty-holster_23-4600.htm
I got my 7360 almost a year ago and I think they added a adapter before shipping it to fit my G19 is there any way that I can remove that adapter to fit my G17 G5
6000 series much stronger made holster & way to go. More expensive to produce though. The 7000 series has some weak points where folded. Search Lawrenceville Police holster incident.

CopQuest does a great job explaining and simplifying all the confusing Safariland holster.
Appreciate the comment!
Amen!!
Im so confused. So you made an amazing holster the 6000 and then decided to make a new holster remove the amazing parts and call it the 7000?
I honestly believe the main reason they developed the 7000 series was for the military contract. The suede lining can get waterlogged. The 7000 is also lighter.

Excellent comment! Thanks for adding that info.
There is a company that makes a replacement. It's like a donut,so it helps keep the shape, while allowing debris to pass through.
WTF r u doing playing little soldier in the mud boy? 😂😂
@@reiniergarciawhat kind of comment is this? You telling me cops don’t get dirty ever?
thank you! it's crazy how their website doesn't even have like a compare option or an easy difference chart or some sh*t to make it ez on us

Hello thanks for reaching out - is your 7000 series SLS only or ALS/SLS?

Dang I had no idea. I just ordered a series 6 for my x5 legion. What’s wrong? Barrel too long?
@@sirlost94 This was from a year ago. Yes, the barrel was too long. Would assume that’s still the case. Nothing removing the llug and maybe a little heat gun can’t fix.

What is that nub piece on the outside of the holster screwed in?
Correct me if I'm wrong but should be to adjust the tension on the light itself to reduce wiggle

What is that oval part that is on the outside of both holsters. It has a hex and flathead screws. I'm just curious on what it i s for
great info thx
Thx for the nice comment!
I have a Glock 23 with a TLR 7. I’m thinking about purchasing a red dot down the line. Which holster(s) would you recommend?
What generation of a the Glock 23?

If only the made the 7000 series in ranger green/OD green
Hhaaa! My 6380rds is the best
Mmmm. DuPont likes using harmful and forever chemicals in their stuff. Remember Teflon? I believe I'll choose the 6000.
So the 7000 series is actually worse. Cool.
