    I like using the Safariland UBL and attaching it the inner belt of a war belt setup. Drop legs got caught up too much and posed too much of an issue and mounting the holster directly on the belt put it too high and didn't give me much room.

    If I need to ditch the belt I need it gone and especially don't need a few extra clips to undo.

    To the guys running the UBL, are you using the low-ride or mid-ride? With which belt?

    Mid ride, with one leg strap to keep it put when running and jumping around. I like the mid ride because it clears side plates but also keeps the pistol high enough to easily reach with my firing hand. Not sure of the inner belt, it's just something I picked up locally with a cobra buckle, but the outer belt is a Velocity OUB.

    I have long arms and use the low-ride with the padded belt from CTOMS.

    I wear my drop leg with a single strap, about as high as I can get it. It doesn't move around that much when I'm running. It's probably about as high as the low ride UBL pictured above, but I find it more stable than a UBL, which I was able to pull away from my body from the bottom part of it. To each his own, I just hate seeing low loose drop leg holsters, it's probably my pet peeve.

    Does anyone using a drop leg attach the unit to their pants belt and run their war belt over the drop mechanism? This would assure you'd keep your sidearm, even if you ditched your war belt.

    I have never seen that done by anyone in a training environment or in the two groups I have worked closely with... being LE narcotics and SWAT.

    I wear mine like this, but I don't use a "war belt" type setup, just a regular gun belt at most. It allows me to drop my belt, and add a mag pouch if I'm doing more administrative stuff, or quickly add a belt if needed.

    This is what I've been using: http://www.safariland.com/quick-atta...5.html#start=1

    Much more stable than a lot of other setups. The DFA really helps stop the rig from moving. Although I'm interested in how the UBL works for people as well.
