I just purchased a Safariland 6280 for a G17 w/x200 and am looking for a good way to mount it on a thigh rig so it will clear the waist support on my ruck while backpacking.
The USGI (skd) model looks promising ( http://www.skdtac.com/HSGI_UDHP_Holster_SKD_p/hsg.311.htm ), but is pricey.
The eagle is attractive due to cost ( http://www.triadtactical.com/Eagle-Industries-6004-holster-platform.html ) but it doesn't appear that it is adjustable for height.
I'm also considering the 6004-10 single strap leg shroud or maybe looking around a finding a 6004 platform for cheap and modding it myself to ride high with a single strap.
I like the idea of the nylon platform and the HSGI rig looks like it would be most comfortable and secure. Since it also surrounds the holster with a cover it appears like it would be more stable than the Eagle rig which would only support the holster through the three screws through the nylon. Is this the case?
Thanks guys,
Maarten
