I put the ALS guard on all of mine. It adds another level of retention without the bulky SLS strap like a police duty holster. It’s a cover for the release button that snaps closed over it.

Personally, I will not use an OWB holster without at least level II active retention. I learned my lesson in an attempted gun grab a few years back now. As a result I destroyed over 100 holsters from all sort of name brand manufacturers, all, except a relatively few I had tried out, still in original packaging that were not active retention and stopped giving them away.

It’s comfortable with the newer adjustable paddle, though the ALS holsters are a bit bulky. I never open carry without active retention outside of the house or range.
