[UPDATE 12\/16\/2011:<\/strong> It’s been a while but I just heard from Safariland that the mini-red dot Glock-o-licious 6354DO, both the light bearing and non-light bearing versions, are<\/em> now compatible with the Trijicon RMR. The sample we had was a prototype and the production version has a larger cutout to accommodate MRDSs whether milled into the slide or mounted on dovetail adapters.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We featured the new Safarliand 6354DO holster in the latest GearScoutTV episode above and mentioned that you’ll need to be explicit when ordering this holster. I have yet to make any sense of Safariland’s naming convention, but suffice it to say that if you look for a “Safariland 6354” you’ll end up with a holster, but not the right one. The “DO” is important and it refers to the requirement of the original customer that it be compatible with the Docter Optic. Below are SKUs you’ll need to use to get one of the new Safarliand DO, dual-pivot series holsters. The only dealer that has actually stocked these is Grey Group<\/a>. So if you want to save yourself some trouble, just call them and Ramia or Scarlett will take care of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we produced the video, Safariland and Trijicon got together and found that the RMR will work with the dovetail mount using the light bearing version of the holster. They are working through fit issues with the non-light bearing version, though, and Safariland will hopefully declare RMR compatibility soon. (The fit issue comes from the RMR’s unique shape. The two “horns” on the optic’s top are there to absorb shock and protect it during a drop, but they present a square-ish profile that doesn’t fit the holster’s rounded sight recess.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These holsters are special order items and are not cataloged. They are available for commercial sale via special order. Any Safariland Dealer or Distributor is able to order these but they will likely not be aware of these holsters. The following part numbers may be helpful. The only way to order one of these holsters is with the exact part numbers listed below. All of these holsters come mounted to the Quick Locking System (QLS) 19 fork and have no other mounting provisions included. Other mounting platforms are available but not factory installed on the holster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
