has two retention devices. The fi rst, the
locking hood, is released by pushing the
thumb tab straight down and then pushing
it forward, rotating the hood away
from the pistol. This motion takes some
practice to get used to, but after a short
time becomes very instinctive. Since I
don’t know who may read this article, I
will not describe how to disable the second
retention device. Suffi ce to say that
with practice it is quick to use and very
secure. To the front and side of the rotating
hood is a shield to help protect the
gun.
There is a tension screw on the outside
of the holster so the user can adjust
for how much force he wants to apply
to draw the pistol. The belt hanger is capable
of fi tting any size belt. The hanger
strap uses the same three screws that
attach the body of the holster to the leg
panel. Enough adjustment is built into
the belt hanger that it can be worn down
around the knee or almost as high as a
standard duty holster. The two elastic
leg straps are approximately 1 ½ inches
wide and attach with quick-release
buckles. Both leg straps can be used or
removed as needed.
If there is a downside to this holster,
it’s that if an operator is used to a holster
with less security and switches to using
this holster without taking the time to
practice with it—and is faced with a high
stress situation—they might not be able
to draw as quickly as they need. In the
instructions that come with the holster,
Safariland cautions not to use the 6304
on duty until a draw can be completed
in less than two seconds. This, however,
is a training issue and no fault of the holster,
and becomes a non-issue if the end
user trains and practices with it.
If you are one of the people who needs
a quality thigh holster, it would be hard
to go wrong with Safariland’s Model
6304 ALS Tactical Holster. Suggested retail
for the 6304 is $192.00. §
