I've recently applied to become an Arizona Ranger. For those who are not familiar with the group, they are an unpaid state police force in Arizona whose primary function is more PR and keeping the traditions of the original Arizona Rangers alive than it is law enforcement. They do, however assist with Law Enforcement as well (some communities more than others).
Enough about that- all prospective Rangers are required to purchase their own gear. I've chosen to go with a Safariland SLS holster (I have the paddle holster andSafarilandsells the conversion kits to make it into a dutyholster for $25- a good deal IMO)but haven't been able to determine the pros and cons of the 6280 mid ride versus the 1.5 inch drop of the 6285.
I was hoping some of you fine folks on here could tell me your preference and why. Not specifically on Safariland per se, rather on why one would go for a drop holster versus a mid ride holster. Primarily I'm looking for opinions from LEOs but anyone with any information please pass it along. Thanks.
