rwoodcock01 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I know this sounds like an odd question but I have for the most part carried my pistol with on my rig, or OWB or IWB or using a Serpa holster be it a drop leg or belt/duty drop. Recently I have had the good fortune to score a Safariland for my TM 1911 with the Surefire 310r clone and another one for my glock 19 with TLR1 light. Both of these holsters will be worn with the warrior PLB belt and suspenders, however these are the first holsters I have had a little trouble getting used to. More by feel I have ended up mouting the drop let high on the belt and only using the lower drop leg strap as the other one was to high and felt like it might cause some "issues" in the old Crown jewles department. So is this the best way to mount the 6004 onto a molle belt? It feels a little "odd" but is more comfy than having drop a wee bit to lower? Been airsofting a long time but this is the first time I have tried an 6004 holster, there damm well made but I guess I just need to relearn my muscle memory I guess? I will include a quick picture and training knife and pistol pouch do not restrict quick access to the holster. Cheers Rich Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to post Share on other sites
Hut73 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's the only way that I've EVER been able to run any style leg rig, without it ending up slipping around on my leg after a while. Link to post Share on other sites
richwuk Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've recently switched to a similar style and the only way I feel comfortable with a leg holster. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Cut the shroud at the top so its shaped like this, or simply get a belt adapter, mid ride is the only way to go.

rwoodcock01 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's an interesting Mod, looks similar updated 6004 and 6005 platforms I have seen via the web, I do have a spare leg platform I might give it a go, thanks frogfish. Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Rich I edited and added a link to an ITS article on mid ride mods for the 6004, its a good read at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites
rwoodcock01 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 It was a good read I am likely to go that route on another belt rig I use for a mid ride set up. Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The mid ride is indeed the most comfy of all 6004 configurations I've tried. I however carry my P226 in a G-code attached to a rigid extension and directly to a load belt. It sits slightly higher and there's no need for a leg strap. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah I'm looking to make the swap to G-code for my 1911 and X300, have heard its a much better setup. Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 i have the gcode with the Mule system, I'll be honest i prefer the leg panel of my safariland but the gcode holster. the drop height is not adjustable easly and te single leg band is not in the right place relative to the weight of the gun. I'll be ordering the regular dual strap leg panel in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is what I've got That and a very rigid padded load belt. I recon that even with a longer extension the holster wouldn't move at all. Another advantage is that when you crouch, the pistol still hangs down instead of following your leg's direction.

rwoodcock01 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's a curious setup wingmann what parts are those on your setup? Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Holster and belt attachment are G-code. The drop extension is Bladetech. G-code make their own though. I just adapted one I already had. I'll take a picture of the belt and holster this evening. Link to post Share on other sites
rwoodcock01 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would appreciate the picture thank you. Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites

Wingmann Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The pad can be taken off, and the belt itself is really stiff. The belt attachment has no play at all, so it's very firmly held. Link to post Share on other sites
Hut73 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If it's of any interest, I've found my Bladetech dropleg rig to be VERY stable and comfortable compared to almost all of the other brands I've tried, including SERPA and Safarilands... And that's with a big honkin HK USP w/ taclight combo in it... Sent from my totally sexy, Android powered, IPod killing, Samsung Galaxy S3 ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
