I have a Safariland 6360RDS ALS®/SLS Mid-Ride, Level III Retention Duty Holster IN MULTICAM. I was using it with my Glock 17 and X300, RMR.
I did some trading aroudn and now have a Glock 19x with G45 lower. its a "Roland Special" build with a KKM barrel and Brake. The firearm almost fits the holster, but doesn't retain. The brake keeps it just a hair away from locking in. Has anyone every had experience modifying their G17 size 630RDS, or do I need to go up to the larger Glock size hollster (34?) Here's my current holster and the older firearm: https://www.tacswap.com/post/64d92cfc4e949e1eee335b1a I'lll shoot the 19x later if needed, but its basically exactly this but with a G45 size grip: https://ateiguns.com/product/roland-special/ Im also selling this SI Glock package ,btw,. Thanks. |

Yes you can, pop out the muzzle plug and reform the muzzle end kydex and/or mod the barrel plug end. That said you can get it to work and lock without the muzzle plug but be mindful of retention changes such as with and without a light.
If it’s just not quite fitting I’d suggest just bumping up to a 34 holster. Safariland used to sell different barrel plugs but quit for some reason Also things like this may give you a pit if clearance. |

Scout has it well covered. To see if it's a simple muzzle plug swap, remove the current plug and see if the gun with the light fits and locks in. If it does. then you just need to cut down the current plug or buy a replacement with enough clearance.
If the gun doesn't fit, then the kydex shell itself doesn't have enough room and you'll have to either experiment with heating it up around the muzzle and reforming it, or just go to a 34 length holster. Anymore, I just buy 34 length safarilands and modify or change out the plugs if needed. |

This is going to sound eminent inept, but these all sounds like things Id rather my gunsmith do. I don't want to drill out or reform a nice new holster. maybe they can do it.
Or maybe there's a trace out thee for the 3 size. Whats the model name? |

The plug is a separate part, it pops out after you remove the bolt down at the bottom of the holster near the muzzle end

Buy the 34 holster. Part number should end with 6832.

Yes, if you're not willing to do your own experimentation and work just get the 34 holster, It will work with the kkm comp. I wouldn't bother paying a gunsmith to mod a holster.

Think anyone will trade an in-the-package 630RDS for a 6832?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lavaspit11: Think anyone will trade an in-the-package 630RDS for a 6832? So currently you have the 6390RDS-832-701, which is the mid ride ALS locking duty holster for a Glock 17 with light and red dot, for a right hand shooter and multicam. If you want the exact same holster except for the Glock 34, you want part number 6390RDS-6832-701. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By D_Man: Safariland's part numbers have 3 separate data sets separated by dashes. The first set is the holster model, it defines the type of retention, the ride height, and special features like red dot compatibility. The second set of numbers defined the handgun model its fit for and whether it takes a light or not. And the last numbers determine the draw hand and color/finish of the holster. So currently you have the 6390RDS-832-701, which is the mid ride ALS locking duty holster for a Glock 17 with light and red dot, for a right hand shooter and multicam. If you want the exact same holster except for the Glock 34, you want part number 6390RDS-6832-701. None of these? https://www.opticsplanet.com/safariland-model-6354do-als-optic-tactical-holster-for-red-dot-optic-safa-6354do.html |

I've done it years back before the newer RDS holsters came out, it required heating the kydex at the optic hood and reshaping it to fit the RMR. So you could try it, get one of the Glock 34 size models but plan to have to modify it to work with your setup. |

Now way Im heating Kydex or Codura. I have a Glock 19x lower, 45 upper with KKM Precision Match Barrel and Comp, and a POS Holoson which shouldn't matter.
I feel like this is nto a unique fit. Is basically just a long 19x. So Ill go with your earlier model designation. Maybe Ill get a lower level retention system - like one of the new duty holsters, or something. Holsters are a bitch. |

The only thing you have to do on a 6354DO is trim a tiny bit of plastic that the front of the RMR hits. The forward or rearward location of where the optic cut is, some are a little more forward or rearward. It’s not rocket science That comp is enormous but it should fit a 34 holster |

It would be safer to go with the newer RDS holsters. |
