I have both the 6287 (pictured) and the 6280. For my taste, the 6280 rides too low, so it rarely leaves the drawer.
Overall, I'm please with the 6287. It fits the gun well and has a retention screw to adjust the tension. It's suede lined to protect the slide. I have the optional "Sentry" attachment to increase the retention, but not the hood. The Sentry works well and I have confidence in it. I felt the hood would stick out too much when concealed, so I haven't tried it. Compared to a Serpa that I borrowed, I found the Serpa to fit slightly more snug to my side with the pistol holstered. This had to do with the angle the barrel pointed when holstered. To achieve the same result with the 6287, I'd guess I'd need to snug my belt loop another half-step tighter. It was a minor difference, but something I noticed.
I have one minor complaint. The thumb release protrudes inward toward the body in such a way as to cause it to rub into my side when seated. This is noticeable with the holster at or just in front of 3 o'clock, but (mostly) alleviated when situated just behind 3 o'clock. This one grievance has inspired me at times to consider a new holster, but the other fine attributes have yet kept me from a trip to the store for a replacement.
So, aside from the one grievance, I don't have any complaints. I'm not familiar with the 6285, but the 6280 has a molded belt loop that doesn't share this deficiency with the flexible "butterfly" loops on the 6287. Also, note that the ride of the 6280 results in a slight cant away from the body whereas the 6287 is designed to hug the body.
If you come out for the Westland picnic, I'd be happy to show them to you.
