Since there is no snap, the SLS allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted weapon takeaways and provides reliability in the unpredictable conditions that occur during tactical operations. The hood can only be released by being simultaneously pushed down and rotated forward and actually becomes more secure when upward force is applied. It is also far less likely to release accidentally than conventional thumb break snaps.
The Tactical finish of the holster is rugged protecting the gun in scrape, scratch and dent incidents. Thermal-molded SAFARI-LAMINATE construction protect the gun, unlike a nylon holster which can allow dents and dings to smash right through in tough conditions. Molded sight track and soft SAFARI-SUEDE protect the gun's sights and finish.
A special feature of the model 6004 is the double leg strap and the leg shroud. The leg harness is lightweight and simple to operate.
