If you mean the hood, then a lot. It makes it nearly impossible to defeat the retention thumb drive from the front.

I'm looking at the Safari-land ALS with the MLS (Molle locking system) in a low ride setup.
MOLLE mounting makes for a floppy holster. You want the belt mount one that mounts to the stiff inner belt and THROUGH the padded belt.
