Safariland Bianchi 6006-1-21: ALS Guard PLN Blk Rh, Rh, 0, Black

Got this for my duty holster and I’m so happy I did because this protects the release button on holster, and it does protect it well!

Works great

Easy to install comes with all necessary parts

Takes a good holster and makes it great. I have always been a Blackhawk Holster guy but recently switched to a Safariland, once i found a quick detachable belt loop. This is a must have addition that ads a needed level of security to a holster for which the gun seems to almost want to come out of. The Safariland Draw isn't much changed from adding this level of security, as specially for someone using a Safariland for the first time.I would suggest a training barrel or some red gun practice before fielding this; as I would suggest with any holster change.I would also not this does add a little angle out to the top of the holster; the tip out is enough however to not need spacers to fit the quick detach version under a vest.My only reason for 4 stars was due to having to fit an 8-32 screw to one of the top wholes because my only 2 of my 3 original holster mounting screws were long enough after installing the guard.

This works great on my 6378 ALS holster (for Glock 20SF with TLR-1 light attached). Installed in less than two minutes. Quick and easy to use, but does require you train some with it to be proficient. IMO the Safariland ALS system on its own already provides better security than any Blackhawk Serpa holsters I have used (the BSH gun-hand index finger release out away from the user's body can be easily accessed by any potential thief if you're not alert). Since the ALS gun-hand thumb release is up against the user's body, it is inherently less easy for a potential thief to access. This ALS trigger guard makes it just a bit more difficult for anyone else to take your gun away from you. IMO in a nutshell, the Blackhawk Serpa holster systems I have used allow a faster draw, but the Safariland ALS holster systems (alone) provide better security. This ALS guard adds to / enhances that security. I will buy more for my other two 6378 ALS holsters (for my SIG Sauer M11-A1 and my wife's P229R with TLR-1 light).

I purchased this to add to my ALS holster to increase the retention to level 3 due to policy requirements. It does exactly that. It is a little tight at first, but practicing draws loosened it up a little bit. I did not want it to become too loose, so it is perfect right where it is. It takes an intentional motion to deactivate it, so the odds of it disengaging unintentionally is next to zero. Its large enough to find with your thumb immediately but not large enough that it is obstructive or digs into your side when wearing your holster, even in a vehicle, but that can also depend on body type.If you need to increase the retention on your holster, this is the way to go.

great quality
