My use and goals for this holster: 1) active retention 2) To use the quick attachment addition with the holster to be able to transition from OWB holster, to battle belt, to fixed location mount like a car....
This will not be used for conceal carry.
All other variable aside I guess I'm asking: Is the difference simply a preference in how you draw and which unlocking mechanism feels more natural to you?
My internet research so far looks like people are more using the ALS and less using the GLS? Reasons?
ALS is the older design and you unlock the handgun with the thumb
GLS is newer (2014ish?) and gets unlocked closer to the trigger guard. Technically the GLS sits closer to the body but my research shows it isn't significant.
Thoughts? Experiences?
