Look, you’re not going to find better for $30 American. Made here too. This pouch gets 5 stars.

Chest, hip butt, I hung it from a chest rig and a 2 piece pistol belt using the hook and loop flap. Yes, it rode backwards hanging from the chest rig and pistol belt. The sharpie and flashlight stayed in the elastic loops with all the moving around.
I kind of checked out the warranty too. Kind of.
I sent in an inquiry to possibly warranty the pouch because of weak button snaps. I declined further action before the process started. I’m positive that the Savior Warranty is solid. They contact you right away. Video proof required as that is pretty standard. I unfairly compared the basic snaps to the BladeTek super tough pull dot snaps. If you have this issue; just back it up with one wrap to keep the button snaps flat and secure. There is 3 extra places to attach other ways.
I decided not to fuss and will attach the pouch with one wrap or the like. Lives perfectly between the two outer pockets on the Savior 22takedown pack without attachment. Not cutting the straps off because the exposed male snap might dig in on the pack or wearer (me). Not so much in a “your gun is digging into my hip,” but best to avoid.
Yeah so, super tough. The IFAK buddy is great. It will protect your life saving gear well but keep the goods handy too. The zippers are rock solid and smooth. The hook and loop almost duct-tape like after repeated pulls. The button straps are doubled up like belay loops on a l

Amazing. Small differences from my most relatable Safariland holsters (6378USN and 6360-8252). The small differences make a huge impact.
For starters, the 6354RDS-2832 is my 1st brand new and latest generation of Safariland OWB holsters I own.
The leverage on the RDS holsters is perfect and the throw seems slightly more. This holster doesn’t seem to need a nub. The Holosun SCS can clear the RDS shield in the down position.
Locks up other no light or no red dot Glocks securely as any ALS I have (G23gN3-G36gN3). This is the last holster I should ever need for the Glock 19 gN3 Holosun SCS with TLR7 X or HL. Flys in and out of the holster. As well and as fast as I am safely able to draw to be perfectly clear. My pistol is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction during this review- unboxing. One more thing. The 6354RDS lever throw may or may not be more but It is much faster and easy. That said, I do have to focus on the follow through to not allow the ALS to reengage before the pistol is fully clear.

Oh yeah: Unboxing-unzipping proprietary Safariland plastic re-sealable bag. Holster with cardboard spacer and silica snack pack. OEM neutral scent. Important papers, 1/8” hex key and 1” tape (used).

If you have a like pistol and any reservations. Don’t. I waited for a good sale and picked mine up at $180 OTD.

This is only my initial impression from unboxing to dry-firing.

Thanks,

I thought about sizing up to fit 17 or 34 Glocks (not all at once). Ha.
Glad I didn’t. The muzzle

To the meat of it. 5 stars. This is no detractor. All positive notes and opinions from previous review remain.
The swivel is fast, loose and teeters out allowing movement away from the body at my 3-O’clock. Works with mobility but works against the intended use of a thigh strap.
It has 2 grinning slots on the main MHA plate. I’ll put the newly grommeted strap directly on the MHA plate allowing a pivot that doesn’t flare out on a snug draw.

I started building a competition belt and didn’t want it breaking the bank. I want it to resemble my all day padded pistol belt. It’s built as a put it on and go system with the basics and a couple extras.
So far; the decision to build the same thing but lighter, less gear and cheaper is working out. Well sort of. Tough to find cheaper and’ lighter components so sticking to the less is lighter concept.

Checks all the function related criteria. Color and matching are not a concern but I try to steer away from plain black (hot town). I try but not with a deal like this.
While seeking an FDE and/or Coyote brown mid ride 1.75” QLS system with a leg strap I found the Wilder Tactical QLS belt mount. This was the only mount I could find complete for well under $100.
A mid ride QLS belt mount that comes with stabilizing thigh strap (retail $95).
I would’ve had to purchase everything online “a la carte” putting a Safariland 1.75” CUBL with QLS receiver, Forge Concepts grommeted leg strap w/ Cobra buckle easily over $100 before tax and shipping.
I snagged the Wilder Tactical Black, Multi-Cam Black QLS system with a Cobra buckle for under $62 shipped. I picked up a 12% discount, free shipping and threw in my hard earned 2.40 OP bucks. What A Steal.
Onto why I dig the actual mount. It’s a well thought out system and a complete package.
Takes up significantly less real-estate on the belt than a CUBL. The leg strap has a unique swivel with varied-threaded mounting positions availab

I like building my own belt systems because most sizes run outside of my meager needs or usage. I’m not a wannabe operator nor a mall ninja. I only hit the outdoor range and BLM land for pistol training. Some classes when I can afford it. I use 1.75 (small) ESS rigger belts or 2” (small) SafeLite Defense belts with varying size ESS pads. For inner belts used as the main stiffening component, inside the pad it’s always the SafeLite Defense (2” small). A 28-29” waist allows me to use a medium ESS slim pad with overlap or a small pad with a 1-1/2” gap. Either way works well. The ESS Slim pad checks most of the boxes for my applications. Safari-land 2” CUBL does not move at all once positioned on the SafeLite system. Because of the stiff double layer, I could only pass the belt through the 2” CUBL but the inner belt hook & loop attachment helped keep it in place too. The other system couples the 1.75” ESS riggers belt to the 2” SafeLite Defense inner belt so the 1.75” CUBL had a little play. 3/8”cam style buckle- nylon helmet straps seized that right up. Found on NiteRider lights helmet mounts. Polymer panels were used as stiffeners and take up slack when mounting gear directly to the ESS pad but the QLS holster mount and Bladetek mag pouches are mounted directly to the belt where it avoids using the ESS slim pad sleeves. The benchmade hook tool with it’s plastic sheath jam in almost perfectly. I run mine upside down close to buckle on the right. Some ESS slim pad slots may vary

I run a standard G19-3 in an SLS only holster at the range. I shoot on out of the way BLM land mostly by myself. I wanted a like set up both to train on the ALS system and keep a dedicated pistol loaded- securely on my person. I picked up the Demo holster at $50 with an added $20 for a QLS 19 fork as it goes between 2-3 varying rigs. My camping chest pack has a QLS receiver plate as well.
This holster filled all the boxes I wanted checked. The ALS keeps the pistol safely and securely when jogging downrange. The size only fits G26’s -27’s and doesn’t get in the way on my left side (cross-draw). I carry the G26 at the 4 O’Clock on my AR15 training kit to keep it out of the dirt so, I’ve no real world tests with grit in the ALS action. The draw gets easier with every session without sacrificing my safety or security of the firearm (3-4 O’Clock and cross-draw). I’m late to the modern holsters game and all of this has been stated previously on the web somewhere. After testing for myself, I trust the setup and highly recommend the Safariland ALS rigs. I’ll eventually pick up the ALS only RDS holster for my G17 as my confidence grows with training (Cordura when I can spare the green).
Thanks for reading

Locks in securely. I run the QLS system semi-permanent on my holster rig. I wanted the freedom of switching firearms but mag carriers would need to be changed as well so I’m leaving it as is. Until I move to the ELS system anyway. Because it’s semi-permanent, I put some O rings on the QLS 19 hooks after snapping in to take care of the 3/32” of jiggle left in my draw.
The QLS is burly and I’m sure it’ll outlast me. Came with all the necessary hardware but I’ve added spacers (longer screws) to improve the angle of my draw.

The Cobra buckle enhanced CO Shooters belt is perfect if used as intended; CCW. The CO is for the buckle. 1.5” is for everyday pant- belt loops. Yes, I have to undo the male side for putting on a new/ clean pair of pants. Yes, the tip will have to be maintained. Just the tip.
These I call trade-offs as there is no perfect belt for everything.

I’m well over 1/2 a century old with a well rounded experience in belts, clothing and secure buckles. I’m a Up-Rigger in the stage and lighting industry. I’ve also rock climbed and tethered myself to Air frames, lift frames and fast attack jeeps some years back. I’ve also spent a few years diving shoreline commercially (boat cleaning). I know my webbing material.

I agree with most of the positive aspects on previous reviews. I wouldn’t back the negative points listed. Most negative reviews appear to lack experience and stray from the intended use of the product.

Here’s why: I have several Cobra buckle equipped belts and I wear this one (1.5”) the most.
The Cobra buckle is not meant to unlatch under load. It will be difficult to disengage as that is the intended purpose. That said: it is my fastest belt to unbuckle when I have to go potty.
It is not meant for rapid adjustment. I maintain my gut size and never eat-drink so much I have to unbuckle my belt or pants. Please learn some self control before judging a unique yet simple belt/ buckle combination.
I have a 28” waist bare. With jeans and underwear, the small reaches around to

I wanted to like it but it’s the sweat pants of the pro leg strap world. If you want tactical comfort, this is a good start. I was sold on the idea of an articulating leg strap mounting system to aide in mobility. It does that just fine.

The strap is big-thick doubled up on my’ leg and fragile. You don’t want to catch the fully elastic strap on anything. It already suffers every readjustment with it’s own hook & loop wrap. I replaced the velcro with belt keepers. The strap is actually ok. It has silicone strips on the inside keeping it pasted to itself where there’s no keeper. I’m sure it was meant for the strap to not ride up or down on the pant material (the strap is definitely not for use with TFBtv style short shorts).

On the big buckle. It’s big in all directions and flat. Where the strap meets the male-end buckle, it sticks out and forward 5/8 of an inch. That does help keep friction and the direction shift starts a natural curve around the thigh.

On drawing it works great if I’m standing upright with little to no bend in my hips & knee. I’m short and narrow so, I blame me. Like shopping for a pair of board shorts, I have to watch the seam. Too low is no good…. I’ve reattached the leg swivel to a 1.75” mid ride CUBL. I used the short length screw mount to take more off the drop. Still long and it still flexes like a modern rollercoaster. Again, fine if not seated.
It’s the thin webbing on a single swivel screw at the bottom of the CUBL. 2 swivels if you count
