Ok i'm new to this.
What drop leg setups are you guys using (with pics if possible)? What do i need to run one? I'm looking to run my glock 22 in a drop leg setup TIA Will |

You'll get a bunch of Safariland and whatever recommendations...not bad but bulky IMO.
I run an HSGI drop leg holster I've been running mine HARD (overseas) for 5+ years and the only thing that failed on it was a partial failure of one of the plastic SRBs...and that was when I rolled over on it during sub-freezing weather. The big reason I prefer this set up is the single, non-elasticized leg strap. Most of the rigs you see are dual leg straps and I have found it difficult to get them both adjusted "just right". And if they are elasticized (rubber sewn into the webbing of the strap) you have to get them pretty exact or they tend to pull your pants up or down, depending on how you move. HSGI seems to have found a method that works, and at least for me, works great. Just throwing it out there as something to look at. HSGI DROP LEG |
| Actually, I like the cheap Blackhawk universal drop leg holster. Ive used it overseas myself. I pulled the top strap off and run 1 strap (I like mine to ride high). I took off any extra straps i didnt want. Highly modifyable and cheap, about $40. Get a good belt, as for any drop leg holster or it will suck for your hips and knees. |
I have Safarliand 6280/6004 bodies attached to a Safariland UBL drop attachment. That sits on an ATS War Belt, and easily clears my London Bridge plate carrier.  (Don't laugh at the plastic gun - I have a real one around somewhere)  Safariland UBL hanger - drops holster without being so low as to be a thigh rig:

Hey Sleepdr, have you had any problems with that thumb shroud on your holster? I had one on my duty holster and absolutly hated it. It seemed like at the most unopertune time (times drills) my thumb would slip and get caught between it and the thumb spot on the rotating hood. Not a major issue but really annoying to me. Infact on my newest sarariland holster I gave it another chance and cut my knuckle. Maybe its just me, but I've taken them all off, just curious if I'm just weired.

I'm pretty sure it's there to prevent gun grabs but I'm not in a job that I have to worry about people getting close and trying to take my blaster. |

I've been using a 1911 holster that doesn't have the shroud, and just recently mounted that Glock holster last week. That was the reason for the plastic gun; to see how well it would work for me. The verdict? I loathe the shroud. Detest. Abhor. It not only gets in the way of drawing, but makes reholstering a pain. I'm at a quite low risk of gun grabs, and the simple retention of the holster's rotating hood will be sufficient for my needs. The only thing it does marginally well is keep the holster a bit farther away from the war belt, but that's something I can also fix by adjusting the UBL. That's easily done with a hair dryer in about 5 minutes. I just haven't had the spare time to remove the blasted thing. Maybe tonight. |
