X5 Duty Holster? Login/Join

Anyone running an X5 (or X5 Legion) in a duty holster? Having some difficulty with this not being a "traditional" duty weapon. Preferably with WML and RDS. Also, if you have one you wish to sell please let me know.

RDR Gear mods the Safariland to fit, the 6390 and 6360 with RDS and WML. He gets good reviews.

There is an option for plain black, you don’t have to get it wrapped.

I've been using a Safariland ALS for a Springfield XD5 for about 12 years.

I swapped the locking mechanism out with one from a used eBay P226 ALS holster. It fits and works perfectly with my 2010ish X5 tactical.





I set up one each, with and without a TLR1 light. On the light holster I had to remove the plastic muzzle plug. I put some plastic tube on the screw in case the muzzle made contact, to prevent scratches.

Safariland added a factory option a few months back for the X5 Legion. They're a bunch of guys running them as their duty gun at my department.

7360-4522-481
or
7390-4522-481

The old way to to do it (what RDR was doing) is take any 6360RDS or 6390RDS, remove the barrel plug and either file it down or replace it with OTD barrel plug (https://www.ghostmendesigns.com/product/otd-threaded-barrel-plug-for-6000-series-holsters/) and then just gently heat the muzzle end of the holster with a heat gun and put the gun in the holster. The gun will fit perfectly.

All good info I was not aware of.

How are the 7xxx series holding up?

The ones made after 2020 seem to be holding up just fine (they made some changes).

It's even easier to take a 7xxx series holster and remove the barrel plug. The X-5 will drop right in, at least with a WML.
