Safariland QLS Mounting Plate for Black Scorpion Gear Holsters
Free US shipping. Same day dispatch before 2 PM EST.
One of the most common questions we receive is whether our holsters are compatible with the Safariland Quick Locking System (QLS). While our holsters could technically accommodate the QLS fork, we found that the positioning was less than ideal, often causing a lack of thumb clearance and an uncomfortable draw angle. To solve this, we designed a purpose-built QLS Mounting Plate to ensure seamless integration with our competition holster shells.
The QLS Mounting Plate is machined from high-strength 6066 aluminum, offering superior durability without unnecessary weight. At just 5mm thick, this plate maintains a low-profile setup, adding minimal separation between your body and firearm while preserving an optimal draw position.
Note: If you're planning on using the QLS, order the OWB Paddle Holster, remove the attachment and use this mounting plate to properly install the QLS fork to it.

Aluminum mount is sturdy and quick change is great!
Fits great with adjustable retention. Quick release works great and stays put until I want it off.
It's awesome to be able to switch guns and holsters in an instant without removing the hanger!
Nice fit for my guns. Simple and functional.
I have switched all my belts and holsters to black
Scorpion!!!
Thanks

I will rate 11 of 10 in terms of product design, quality, price and delivery! Awesome!
Been waiting for something like this for USPSA since I like to train and shoot a couple different guns! Easy to change out holsters in seconds! No need to change belt and all that! Awesome awesome product! I’ve got 3 mounting blocks now for 3 guns on the same hanger!
I started using Black Scorpion paddle holsters with a Smith & Wesson M&P9. Great fit and optic cut.Now that I am switching to a competition belt setup I converted my 3 paddle holsters with Quick Release Male Adapters. I can switch between the M&P to a 2311 or a H&K Vp9 in seconds. If I just want to have some range fun without the competition belt I just slip on the Quick Release Female Adapter paddle holster.
The quality of this Belt attachment by far exceeded my expectations. Well made, rigid and once you have everything locked in preforms outstanding on the range. I’m not a competition shooter, retired law enforcement professional that trains and required to qualify twice yearly. This attachment paired with pro idpa holster and pro idpa belts was exactly what I needed for the range. Excellent products!
i ordered thru their amazon store but they send me defective and used holster …
Extremely pleased with these QLS Mounting Joints, I’ve got them on most of my IPSC/USPSA/IPDA rigs. They are sturdy, strong and extremely versatile and reliable and stand up to hard use
This mount is really great. I have different mounts and nothing comes close to the Black Scorpion Ball Joint Belt Attachment.
This is the fourth one I’ve purchased. It makes it so easy to switch between holsters. Saves a ton of money. I don’t have to buy multiple rigs and I don’t have to take the whole setup apart to switch holsters.
Very impressed with the QLS mounting plate. Fit the holster perfectly - well designed and thought out. I particularly appreciated that it had integrated hardware for attaching the fork.
I upgraded to the Black Scorpion ratchet belt and had to replace one of my magnet attachments. This is so nice that all I need to do is manage two screws. If “on the fly” adjustments need to be done at a match I can now do it with a simple screwdriver. Thanks for making such high quality gear
I am extremely satisfied with this accessory. It is sturdy, easy to mount and provides a level of freedom that is hard to find. Freedom in the sense that you can use multiple different pistols and only need 1 belt setup. Fully adjustable magazine pouches and the quick detachable holster mount means I can run almost any pistol I want and I only need to purchase a holster for it. I couldn't be happier with this product. Highly recommend.
This is my 9th or 10th Black Scorpion Quick Release OWB Holster. I started with the quick release setup and my belt is setup for it so it is easy to switch from ds 1911 to glock 34 to Echelon without having to remove anything. The Black Scorpion holster have all been perfect fits the only modification I have done is to replace the top screw with a cam locking lever so the holster is loose and has no drag in competition but with the flip of the lever it's locked in and won't come out.
I used this to mount a more personalized holster and it worked perfectly. It doesn’t come with instructions but between the pictures on the website and the video they had on YouTube, I was able to figure it out no problem.
The adapter brings a needed 2nd holster to the game, however the fit seems a bit looser than the original piece. Still perfectly serviceable.
This was great. Already had a holster from a previous purchase and was able to use it on this new system. Great job.
Excellent product! I really like Black Scorpion products. Sleek appearance with excellent performance
Sturdy well machined and well built attachment device that is easily adjustable to the desired angle and can’t of the shooter. I recommend an extra Chicago Screw fastener for the third hole in the rear though
Love the quick mount! It makes swapping guns so much easier! The only minor complaint I have is how sharp the edges are on the holster mounts.
I own three of them and they are great. It’s nice to switch holsters quickly at the range
Submitting a correction. My belt is 2 inch, not 3 inch. Fact remains, the quality of this drop attachment is excellent. But It will only fit up to a 1 3/4 inch belt. Please update the product description with this essential detail.
Excellent quality, does not fit a 3 in belt. Description fails to mention that. Not happy. Other black scorpion belt attachments have two plugs that allow adjustment up to 3 inch. Again, not happy.
Great quality, works great! Thank you!
I’m a big fan of BSG and this quick mount system. I own several for different rigs. My only complaint is that with some BSG holsters with low holes (e.g., MPA DS9 with thumb rest), the holsters sits higher than I would like. I wish they had a longer, lower hanging belt attachment for those holsters that ride too high. Also, you are unable to cant the holster to your preferred position. The new BSG quick mount system with the ball joint feature helps with the latter problem.
I love this quick mount ball joint. It can be adjusted to the perfect position and with the quick mount I can still swap to other holster easily. BSG makes great stuff I love all their gear.
