This was the most informative Safariland holster setup video I’ve seen. No sales pitch, just information.

[@recceshoe6911]

Bustin out the Top Gun reference again. Gets me every time. Thank you for putting the time and effort into these Chuck.

Man...i never saw a single video with so much tips and shared experiences, thank you!

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesfields4149]

@@presscheckconsulting3449I have a Glock 19 gen 4 with a TLR-1 HL............can you give me the Safariland holster model number that my gun fits into....

[@sofit]

@@jamesfields4149 i strongly suggest you to buy the model that Chuck use, if you will buy the model for Glock 34 it will be compatible with Glock 19, 17 & 34. You will have to change just the plastic barrel plug inside, they sell this apart (i bought a set some time ago from holsterops). Anyway, with a flashlight mounted you will not need to do that. I currently use the Safariland for Glock 34 with a 17 & TLR-1HL mounted: 6395RDS ALS. Never had to change the barrel plug and it fit the Glock 17 without both optic & flashlight. Also, if you don't like the optic hood, you can remove it very easy in less than 1 second!

"You dorked up your draw and doubled down on stupid" - Chuck Pressburg, 2020

[@skylarryals4837]

I appreciate you making these videos. Nice for someone to sit down and talk about the intricacies of the importance of gear setup.

[@teddyrasputin3850]

Thanks for the vid. I've never found Safariland's website overly helpful on the how and why of components combinations. This helps.

[@edrobinson4174]

Good stuff Chuck. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@mickeyirish4433]

Chuck, great video brother! Very thorough. Appreciate you taking the time to demo all the configurations and + and - for each set up. You’re the man!

[@kylesowards9878]

Aww snap, Chuck is ready to take over the world now that he's got his editing/intro skills down!

[@Chris_Pearce]

Thanks for the insight on the forward cant vs the straight cant. I’m gonna play around with my setup and see if I can smooth out the draw

Thank you for articulating the finer details. Much needed information!

[@jdw2150]

Extremely informative video. Thank you. Showed me EXACTLY what I needed to know. Wish I'd have seen this before I took casual advice from a retired SWAT buddy. But now I have a good SLS/ALS holster body to work with tho.

[@pityu5]

Mr. Pressburg, you make realy educational content with a fun to watch style. The struggle is real with those mid ride pistol holsters, I was fightting with my issiued Glock mid ride holster until I figured out a DIY solution (with paracord and a spare leg strap). Keep up the work and enjoy Your reitirement.

[@jasonbolin7025]

Best video I've seen yet attempting to decipher the Safari product line. 👍

[@ZeroMayhem]

loved the video super in-depth with it being short sweet and to the point along with being very informative, and none of the "I'm selling you on a holster" vibe as well as showing flaws for every version of how a draw stroke and affect the holster with retention, as well as "relaxed and comfortable" and "it's fucking go time"

[@patricksantos361]

[@justinbeggs386]

Best video I've seen for these holsters. Thank you!

[@googledoesevilnow7377]

If you own a 92 series that fits an M9 holster (I believe most but not all will), you can get full 6004's for ~$30, brand new in the packaging as military surplus. That makes it cheaper to buy the 6004 and whichever attachment platform you prefer and move your holster over then to buy the configuration you want outright; and this video is a very useful guide if you want to do that. Thanks for the great information!

[@misterjwestcoast]

I like what you’re teaching, you had my curiosity... now you have my attention.

[@erikhaw7313]

Super thorough and helpful, thank you

[@patricktx3357]

Really good video for guys just starting to set up battle belt.

[@Bulldog75stp]

Very informative video. I'm in the process of getting my first range holster and belt. I knew I wanted Safariland, but their site is a bit confusing with all the different attachments. Especially since I don't know what I'm really looking for. Thanks for the video. I believe I know what I need now lol.

[@surgetsann]

Good shit exactly what I was looking for

[@garrettbruno5061]

Thank you for this vid. All of their options confused me. That’s why I went G-Code. It makes sense now.

[@camposjrmartin]

Thank u very much for this needed video sir

[@Jason_The_Man]

Safariland should hire you. I've visited their site so many times trying to get an ALS holster for my stock M&P 40. and I'll be damned if I could figure out the whole process, A lot of information in your video, thank you.

[@dragonusmc0311]

Thanks for posting this from your Patreon …...

[@adaptivesolutions1821]

Awesome info as usual man. As just a concealed guy I don’t have the experience to know what does and doesn’t work with these rigs.

[@gmaster45612374]

I run belt keepers on either side of my holster which "bolts" the outer belt to the inner belt. Gets rid of most of what little flex there is on the mid ride during the draw. I run a super stiff old school OSOE duty belt which is as stiff if not stiffer than the Ares. Using keepers isn't exactly super ninja high speed but it ads additional stability which I like personally. Something for dudes to consider.

[@koolsolutionszx12r55]

Great information Sir.. I've been trying to figure out Safariland holsters for about a week now

[@bravowhiskey4684]

Safariland does make a t-spacer if you have to use the UBL and need armor clearance, but don’t want to push it out too far or can’t run QLS. They’re about 1/4” thick. Kind of an obscure part but it does exist.

[@djl608]

I love these, and put them on every Safariland holster I carry on duty. They come in a 2 pack, and I use both.

[@wesleyarnold6018]

Correct man. Actually have a T- spacer. I have 2 diff ones that one is thin yet the other is much thicker. I didn’t measure the fuckers but they do exist

[@nathanstokes3931]

Very helpful and thank you.

[@Turambar117]

I wish i had seen this about 6 months ago before I ordered my 6354 but it's definitely good enough for my needs atm

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

[@saintbabylon7250]

Thank you so much for this. I don’t want to be one of those guys who has a box full of holster they wasted 100$ on when I don’t even have that money to waste on holster I rather buy ammo. Right now I run this kydex pancake style holster that attaches to my belt for my XD 40 with streamlight TLR 7 nicely. I’m learning that I don’t care for the retention which has a nice click when inserted but It’s a slow draw because it doesn’t have any buttons it’s just held in by how tight you decide to tighten the retention screw it also rubs on my hip bone making it uncomfortable as hell since I’m a slim guy. This video saved me a lot of money hopefully they have the mid leg strap style you displayed at the end for my XD 40 with TLR-7

[@seyahznarf]

I wish Safariland didn't use numbers for their entire product line up. I get lost. Is it more intuitive than it seems, like L3/Eotech? That isnt too bad when you realize it EXPS or XPS and a combination of 2 numbers for example.

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

There is a method to their madness but it is not intuitive. Safariland number codes would have to be its own video.

[@boogingtonthunderwood8969]

Agreed! The website is little help at all, too.

[@2atony170]

oh man so many helpful tidbits in here. Thanks for helping me figure out how to get rid of that dumb FBI cant

[@martinschultz7525]

I need to get me some of those "elastic bungee dust covers" ...🤣

[@stickmanjd]

What if you do mid hight but no quick release system just regular belt to holster setup? Do you still recommend getting a leg strap? Also I was a bit confused on how much you could “unFBI can’t” the regular setup without the quick release system.

[@petercristiano4068]

Great info thank you. One question, maybe you can help out. I have a 6354do with my Glock 19x Surefire x300 and trijicon rmr and I love it. My next gun would be the same setup just with an Aimpoint acro. Would you know if the acro would fit in the 6354 or would I have to go with the 6390 instead? Thank you very much

[@Doomdayclown]

I like you good info is allways nice

[@areaperii998]

Chuck is a hilarious dude

[@HelplmAlive]

The part at 40:00 about looking how to adjust your kit to make it more efficient. I love it. I always have a issue with people saying "Well it works for me." Thats because you've never been put in a situation where it doesnt and you explain the deficiency of their setup but "It works for me."

[@RodGriff]

Have you ever considered/tried the True North adapter plate? I appears very adjustable.

[@jarbennion2907]

Thanks for the info Chuck! Any thoughts on the 6354DO mounting height vs the new 6390? I noticed the DO mounting holes are much higher and it sits a lot lower on the belt.

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

A patreon supporter of mine let me know the 6390 was done like that (lower holes) to make a larger void between your holster and body to tuck jackets behind for patrol officers. So the 6354DO is going to clear plate carriers and stuff better but won't have as much gap for clothing.

[@DezyreHD]

Chuck speaks, I listen.

[@rossifumifan1]

Does Safariland make this model holster for the Sig Sauer 226 MK2-5?

[@TheM2oN]

Gréât vidéo.

[@areaperii998]

Want to see or hear your opinion on gen 5 and Glock in general. You run glocks and 2011 designs?

[@yawenclaudio5756]

So I was looking into it for military work and some guys would take their holsters and move them to the top of the plate carrier during transport and/or vehicle missions and they were using the G-code RTI wheel and had one on their belt and one on their carrier to switch out the placement of the holster when going on foot. What do you think about that system, what do you think about plate carrier mounted holsters for vehicle ops, and what do you think about the capability to switch from one to the other?

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

I'm not against chest holsters, I used them many times. I'm not a fan of a large belt holster on the chest. The bulk of the holster inhibits being able to see things under your chin. It creates a blind spot if you drop something in the vehicle floorboard, to find it. It creates a HUGE seat belt snag Hazzard for rapid egress as well. The concept of getting the holster off the hip and on the chest was better than the execution.

[@yawenclaudio5756]

Presscheck Consulting Thank you so much on the insight, I see where you’re coming from

[@joshstewart3339]

What model would you order if you have A Glock 19 G4 with a Comp and a Surefire x300U-B and RMR Trijicon ? Glock is the same length as the Glock 17 model so would have to order a 17 model holster ? Safariland 6390 holster on the web site says wont work?

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

Go with a holster for the G34.

[@mrsir1872]

do you feel the UBL points in towards your leg when holstered? i just bought one and the inward angle on the ubl is disturbing.

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

Nope, never thought that it did

[@echozero7skillsetdevelopme479]

Chuck, have you messed w/ the Safariland VUBL? I run a 17 mrds at times and a 2011 at times with the mid ride UBL. Problem is the 2011 safariland holster rides a bit higher and I want them to both sit at the same spot for consistency. I was hoping that the VUBL would do that for me.

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

I have not used that thing yet, partner

[@RR-gp8bu]

I like the high ride. All the other give me a blister on my hip if Im walking all day....or the thigh attachment

[@2424DMC]

Man did this video just save me a fist full of money.

[@midengine3sgte]

What model safariland are you using for you night fighter with the light and rds? Thanks in advance Chuck

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

My Night Fighter holster is a pre production prototype. One of only two in existence that I am aware of. The holster for an M&P Core 5inch gun with RD and Light is what you need for NF but you will have to remove the barrel plug and take a heat gun to the front of the holster to re contour it at the muzzle of the 2011/2019 5in slide.

[@daviddavid1320]

thoughts on the 6360rds series?

[@scottydoo919]

I love the high one. I’m a deputy sheriff and the lower hanging attachment rides to low in the squad car. For 8 hours it kills me. Also it is out far enough from my body so my winter coat can be tucked in and I can still draw my gun.

[@Dixie9mm]

I didn’t know they made a 2” UBL high till I stumbled on a amazon listing from a 3rd party on like the 5th page.

[@dpaulday]

Anybody got a link to that scene from "The Italian Job" that he mentions, with the guy subconsciously removing his holster retention as he disembarks a helicopter? I'm not finding it with my weak Google Fu.

[@joshuafreeman4459]

KZbin “delta Italian job”

[@BassFlatsBeyond]

So what do I need to order to end up with a straight cant ALS holster for a light fighter with SRO?

[@michaelflentge6484]

Bass Flats & Beyond I don’t know about the SRO factor, but if you get a 6360 attach the fork set up to the holster itself then to the UBL of your height desired you can adjust to a straight up and down ZERO cant. I run this to get rid of the FBI cant on my duty rig.

[@813todd]

Just need ya to loan a brother that Safariland holster to fit my Staccato XC until they release them :)

[@bengoldstein6293]

What ended up being a solution for relocating the promask to get the carrier off the leg

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

I used a USGI 2 quart canteen pouch with the canister exposed and a tape pull tab to keep dirt and shit out of the filter canister intake hole.

Hey Chuck, if you right click on the sound button at the bottom right and click volume mixer, then hit the mute button under system sounds, it'll get rid of all the annoying windows sounds while you're recording. Thanks for the great info! I was just looking at the long (as a civilian) and I think I'll look at the mid because I'm not that interested in a leg strap to wear while hiking

[@mitchschutter4302]

Chuck! How do the Crye (looks like field pants) fit? I've got some larger legs from lifting and I wonder how you like them. Looks like the crotch is higher and it doesn't look like too much extra material like BDU's. Thanks.

[@presscheckconsulting3449]

Those are combat pants which run looser than field pants. They have a tweave crotch and are pretty loose normally. I have gained 20lbs since the Rona though.
