Here are some pics of my Modified 6004, UDL, 1911 ALS, S&W M&P with Light ALS, and MLS quick release mounts.
The main reason I posted this is to show the MLS system which I really like a lot. The MLS is a system of plates and clips that cannot only be mounted to holsters and shrouds but also to furniture, vehicles, and even PALS webbing!
The MLS system is adjustable for cant and adds about 3/8" thickness to an existing holster set up(not bad as it makes it easier to clear armor).
I purchased these kits from www.extremeoutfitters.us/search.aspx?manufacturer=35 who I highly recommend. Not only was their pricing and shipping in line but I called them with a question and even was lucky enough to talk to a kind human!(very rare these days)
I will be painting the UDL and my 1911 holster to match my other gear with Brownell's Alumahyde II Coyote Brown.
I was concerned that the MLS might have some wiggle but it is as solid as a rock. I rolled around a bit to see if I could get it to come loose with no luck. The MLS kit comes with a ton of hardware and the appropriate hex key to install the system. I like the ability to tune the holster/shroud to my exact needs whenever I want. I use a Tactical Tailor MAV for my gear and tried a Blackhawk SERPA but the damn thing would fall off when I was running around, the mount to the PALS webbing was just not solid, the MLS has an extremely positive lock to the PALS webbing and I don't for see the same problem.
Here is the M&P mounted to a modified 6004 Shroud:
Here is a 1911 mounted to a UDL:
And finally here is an MLS mounted to PALS webbing along with a side by side of a 1911 MLS vs. a MOLLE mounted Blackhawk SERPA. For reference after using the rig a moved the MLS rig down and adjusted the cant a little to even out the weight.
I am extremely happy with this purchase and like many of you already know, Safariland makes a top tier product. If you were on the fence about spending the cash for this I hope this helped make your mind up.
