Which Safariland SLS is best for a drop leg thigh holster?

[trbii]

I like the looks of the 6285 SLS w/rotating hood for my Sig Sauer P320 Carry Tactical (M17) 4.7” barrel. I don’t see this model for sale with the drop and leg straps. Any ideas where to look?

Are you dead set on the drop leg rig? If you are running a belt with PALS/ molle, a True North Concepts modular holster adapter works great with the Safariland QLS system.

That looks good, thanks.

Safariland is extremely modular. With their standard 3 hole mounting system, you should be able to attach that holster to a separate leg shroud.

Another holster model to look at is the 6379 RDS if you are planning to run a Surefire X300 and possibly an optic. The holster still works without a light or optic attached, but it's a little harder to holster the pistol (with the crown centered on the internal barrel rest stud) without a light attached. IMO, the ALS holsters draw much easier and have better retention than the SLS hooded versions. Below is the 6379 that I picked up for my decommissioned M17.

I agree. The 6300 series has a suede lining with not only grips the pistol, but also collects fust, dirt and other debris. Give the 7TS a try.

6300 series for sure. I'm not against the 7 series, but I don't like the idea of a molded holster. The 6300 series has a wrap around design that is proven in lots of different areas of the field and world.

Every ALS type holster needs the nub mod, thank me later as I have thanked others. LOL

I was teaching a class last month and several of the guys were running these. Just ordered one for my rig and looking forward to trying it out.
