It is a very subtle mod, but it slicked up my drawstroke quite a bit. If someone were to do this, I would tell them it is important to only take material from *in front* of the thumb release and be sure to leave holster body material that rides inside that slot cut into the release.

    That kydex plate does curve to the hip and not only snugs the holster in to the body, but also spreads the load across a broader section of the belt than the plate that the holster comes with. Safariland's design ethos frustrates me to no end. They put *a lot* of thought into the design of the holster bodies - and then just bolt everything to various mounting plates that someone ginned up after lunch.
    Thanks! I switched over to the smaller Safariland loop a few months ago, but I’m finding they still sit too proud on the belt. Your design looks like an improvement to me, I may give that a try.
