I had purchased a 6365 holster and the tactical shroud that Safariland sells separate. I bought it this way because I wanted to try the tactical drop leg holster and couldn't find it in stock. It also gave me a way to try both setups with the ability to return one if need be.
After shortening the strap on the shroud I had a perfect fit. The only problem is I noticed when I ran or went prone the belt loop had a tendency to slide on my belt. If had the need to un-strap my leg, the shroud would move all over.
None of this was a shock. I have read it happens to others all the time. It was the biggest reason I bought the parts separate. Like I mentioned above.
Besides that it was already the modified version of what several seem to have done to their drop legs.
I had purchased one of these 3404
Don't buy one. What a pain and it didn't work at all.
Just as an after thought I decided to see if I could mount the 1 1/2 drop UBL to the front of the shroud. I had to use slightly longer screws but it and the holster went right on.
Works awesome. Holster stays in place regardless of what I do. I also noticed when running I didn't have the feel of the holster and shroud flopping.
This setup works great. For anyone who has modified their drop leg to ride higher you need to try this.
I am actually surprised Safariland hasn't tried this. It fits on the front of the shroud like it was purposely designed to be there.
If anyone is interested I will take a picture later. Here's the parts I used:
I took this:
3406
And mounted it along with the holster to the top of this.
3407
Obviously I took the strap off first.
