Maybe how it’s carried? I’m obviously the type of rucking you did is much tougher and intense than the average American cop. I’m guessing you mostly carried it low and clear of gear. Maybe body type.
What got my hood the most was the seat belt. I guess some fat guys whose vest sticks out can have issues. Most people have no issue and never have anything bad happen with the 6280.
The 6280 I had was from 2008ish. My ALS with SLS hood has never had an issue with the hoof getting knocked down.
How tight can you get the retention on the 6280 by adjusting the retention screw?
Sorry for any typos. In Mexico City traffic sitting in the back of a car.
I can see seatbelts and sitting in the car compressing it and it unclicking. Or getting released when unbuckling.
My examples can be VERY tight with just the screw.
When I was in most of us had one of the leg straps removed off the thigh mount and as high as possible. But it's still lower than the rigid belt mount.
Beyond those already listed, few if any makers are still producing revolver duty holsters, simply because few carry revolvers on duty anymore.
You might search through here and find that he has something on hand that will fit the bill for you:

I had an issue with my external carrier knocking my hood open on my 6280, I added the hood guard and it never happened again for the 2 1/2 -3 years after that I carried it and it didn’t interfere with my draw at all.

That’s true, and it does make a difference. It’s uncomfortable to me, but if I were going to carry a 6280, I would use it without question.
Everything is trade off.
Speaking of front breaks, isn’t an issue with them that they are not super secure compared to something like an 070?

maybe AE Nelson? They do some break front duty holsters for K, L and N frame smiths.
