Alternate Safariland 6004 Strap

Details
Category: Prototypes
Created: Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:05

      

Nothing fancy here, just thought I'd show it. I got a 6004 recently and didn't like the hassle of the default belt strap. Although pretty secure, it takes a while to fasten and unfasten which is even harder while on your body. Based on other belt connections I've seen work, I came up with what you see here. Made of 2 layers of 17337 webbing and velcro. Used the soldering iron to stab in some holes for the screws and sewed some boxes around them for good measure.

For length I sized mine for a mid-ride. I haven't had comfort issues so have not modded the shroud yet even though using it in 1 leg strap mode.

The velcro seal may seem a little risky at first, but since it goes down so far, the holster itself keeps the velcro flap sealed. I thought about using an SRB, but if I were to do so at the same height, the SRB would be in the way of the rotating hood. The velcro flap makes a nice clean slide for the thumb to use the rotating hood.

Options for further mods:
-Although I haven't had any issues with the screws pressing into my leg, another 17337 flap and velcro could be added to cover the screws.
-Add hook velcro to the inner flap to interface with gun belts that have velcro. This will prevent belt placement shifting.
