Since there is no snap, the SLS allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted weapon takeaway and provides reliability in the un predictable 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 protects 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 protects the gun's sights and finish.
Special features of the Model 6005 are the Detachable Buckle on the vertical leg strap, the double leg strap and the leg shroud, providing comfort and stability. The leg harness is light-weight and simple to operate.
