Help finding a holster for battle belt

[AWW34]

I am trying to put together a battle belt. I need a holster for my MP9 with TLR1. I'd like the holster to have at least 2 levels of retention and be able to clear my plate carrier. Never tried a drop leg holster, but read that many don't like them. Looking for help from those who've had to make this decision! Thanks in advance!

Also I have the HSGI battle belt, with a 1.5" Inner belt if that helps.

Thanks!

The Safariland 6285 might be worth looking into.

I get asked a lot about what rig and components I run when Instructing, specifically Carbine (AR or AK) or Shotgun. I thought I'd lay everything out, label it and go over it.

The rig is modular. The only thing that stays the same from course to course is the belt (inner and outer), the Safariland holster platform and the Rolly Polly. Everything else easily removes and attaches. The holsters snap into a plate on the rig.......they're the easiest part of the entire system to switch out.

I usually run a vest with IIIA armor in it. If I need more than 3 Carbine mags (1 in the weapon, 2 on the belt), I have a carrier that fastens to the front of my vest and carries an additional 4 magazines.

1a: Jones Tactical outer belt, with Cobra buckle
1b: Jones Tactical inner belt
2: Maxpedition Rolly Polly, large. I tried the medium, but found it sometimes difficult to get a mag in there while shootin' n' scootin'. Also, as an Instructor, I'm always sticking stuff in there like PACT timers, courses of fire and other gear.
3: Safariland 6004-25 holster platform using the QLS (Quick Locking System) plate. This allows just about any Safariland holster to be mounted to this rig. I've always hated "drop leg" holsters, but this one drops just far enough to get below vests and/or armor, but it's still mounted on the hip, not the leg. Super stable and secure, yet very quick.

4b: Safariland 6377 holster with QLS attachment, SIG P229
4c: Safariland 6377 holster with QLS attachment, Gov't model 1911
5: Safariland kydex Teklok pouches, AR15
6: Blade Tech Teklok pouches, AK
7: Ready Tactical kydex mag pouches, Beretta 92
8: Talon Tactical kydex mag pouches, 1911
9: Ready Tactical kydex mag pouches, SIG P229
10: California Competition works shotshell caddy
11: Safariland SxS shotshell holder. I usually put shotshells in the California CompWorks caddies and slugs in the SxS's.

Have you used that holster with a battle belt before? My main concerns are that it's low enough to clear armor, but not flop around when I'm running.

The holster setup you have is basically what I'm looking for. I've heard people seem to like ut, and it's very solid.

I've used about every drop leg holster there is, the above is the only one I like. It really isn't a drop leg, it only drops the holster far enough to clear a vest/plate carrier, so it's still sitting in the hip, just a few inches lower. I can still drive a vehicle while wearing it and it's very stable, doesn't move when I run.

The leg plate will take any of the Safariland holsters.

And basically all I'm wanting on the belt is 2 ar mags, 2 pistol mags, dump pouch, pistol, and ifak.

There ya go. Add an IFAK to the rig I have above you're good to go.

I'm teaching a STRESS Shooting class in Bethlehem on March 19. Come on over and you can look over my rig and holster to see if it will meet your needs.
