So when opened, the whole holster drops down about three inches and the straps hold the belt against the flap thus holding the flap open??? Is that it???

Yep. It drops down and is held open by it's own weight, which converts it to an open holster. It's pretty ingenious as you can use it in different states of readiness, and it eliminates one of the drawback of the flap holsters. "For Defcon 1, pull the strap"
