I cannot take credit for this -- basicload from the lightfighter board was the first to draw it to my attention.
The idea is to cut the shroud down so it can be run up higher (better draw stroke and no weight on the legs)
-- All I did was pull the holster up to the height I wanted and noted where the shroud would dig into me.
Then I took a black marker and traced a half moon along the shroud - then cut along the line (I used a saw blade off a SOG tool -- but recently some of my guys have been using Dremels -- and it works a lot better)
The new (cheaper and flimsier) shroud is much eaiser to cut -- but unlike the old one the new one needs to affixed to the leg strap since the plastic sucks (it has a bracket that fall out all the time- so tape it down.
How it wears
Needless to say I've done this two two Glock 6004's here (my light and non light ones) - as well as a Sig, 1911, and BHP one back home...
