Modified Safariland 6004
I’ve received quite a few emails inquiring about the standard Safariland 6004 for a Kimber Warrior/TLE/RL with Surefire X200 that I modified to single strap use.
The only reason I wear a drop holster is to clear my vest as my torso’s too short to have any clearance between a belt holster and the bottom of any vest I wear. I dislike having a drop holster sit all the way down on the thigh especially when running or moving around – the lower down they’re mounted, the more flopping there is.
I’m not the first to modify my 6004 this way, others have done it, and in fact I was inspired by my buddy Diz, after seeing pics of what he did to his. Trimming the thigh panel to convert the 6004 to single-strap use isn’t absolutely necessary – you can remove the upper strap and just wear it higher. However, it’s not as comfortable as having the corners trimmed, so that’s what I did.
