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

If you order you gear on closeout, like me you’ll realize that not everything fits perfectly. The kit I ordered was a 2” medium belt ride UBL installed on the SLS G19 holster. I needed a 1.75” to get rid of the jiggle and this did the trick. I hadn’t realized that I’d need the cant to better align the holster. I’m glad I went with the CUBL.

Hello all,

I wanted a good holster for the range and this SLS Safariland checked all the boxes. I’m a newbie at holstering. I did already have a belt and pad from an actual rigging job. I’d wear the rigger’s belt to clip in when I didn’t need the full on theatre rigging harness. NOW, it’s my range belt.
This holster at $31 was perfect. Retailed at $180 give or take. Whatever you pay, the education is invaluable. I learned so much and I can now navigate most Safariland 6000 series holsters with confidence.
The SLS (self locking system) is the u-shaped yoke. When the SLS yoke is down- depressed the holster has only the passive retention of friction. It is set by the side adjustment screw (hex wrench provided with almost every kit that comes with screws). I run mine just tight enough for the screw washer not to rattle with thread lock (snug on STX shell but did not tighten on firearm). Easy draw and does not come out upside-down. No cartwheels just upside down with a gentle shake.
I replaced the 2” UBL with a 1.75 CUBL and installed QLS. $100 shipped with OP discounts. My draw at speed may- will most likely require a leg strap. I removed that big fin as well so, it’s just the SLS system and still at level 2 retention. I’m ordering another closeout Safariland holster but in ALS/ SLS this time. I ordered the Safariland leg strap kit with the swivel for a medium ride CUBL. I ordered the blue force leg strap as a precaution because it was different in angle and mount to UBL.

I have one and dig it the most of all the safety selectors I’ve had and have. I can appreciate good craftsmanship. I also appreciate good steel over alloys but in 90 degrees only. My L or R Stag safety follows me from rifle to rifle but lives on my test lower. I’d like one in my rifle bag and one in the parts kit. Demand is high and cost remains low. Availability? Unknown. Stag nailed the “good for everyone” true ambidextrous safety. The simplicity is’ genius. From Mil-Spec purist, beginner, seasoned builder, tester you name it. Stag checked all the boxes and more. It came at great a value. 30$ but 22$ after discounts on OP.
Badger Ordnance gen1 switchable goes for around 100$.
Ya, I could’ve saved a lot of money but only found recently and on back order. Anyway, here’s the list of other safety selectors I have although I won’t mention the screw on varietal. Radian talon (I run the L- side only/ fn featureless!), Geissele configurable (no beveled edges for the $$), Badger Ordnance switchable gen1 (too long), SOL/ FCD Q lever OEM- LWRC- That’s a solid ambi for the 80$.),
Stag Arms LorR safety rocks. Solid- affordable and does it all.

What a perfect upgrade for a pistol that requires almost none.
I will almost always replace the OEM sights on a Glock. This to me “is’ Glock Perfection. Customize fit without compromising reliability.
The AmeriGlo GL354 U Notch single dot sights are perfect for the G26.
I only change the sights, mag release and slide stop but I only require 3/64” and bevels on mag release (Agency Arms).
Tango Down slide stop on G26 or extended Glock OEM slide stop on G19.
I run a mixer of 3 dot U notch sights on my compact or full size Glocks. These AmeriGlo U Notch blacked out rear are an easy and fast transition.
I purchased the GL354 for a carry pistol and I’d be glad to try on larger frames with a longer sight radius.
I’ve been an AmeriGlo fan for some time. The Spartan, Agent, Pro i Dot, Trooper and now the Protector. Worth well over the 65$ shipped.

The flared button was truly the mystery perk. I wanted that little more 3/64”, serrations, radiuses and black anodized aluminum. Checked every box and for only 30$ USD. The slightly larger button/ mag release has to be pushed through deliberately with a tiny amount of force to install. I’ll reiterate, this tipped the scale because the mag release stays in should the spring fail.
Reach is perfect, mags drop a little easier and do not feel as if they’d drop with only a light touch. The mag release in total leans more on the duty side from my humble experience. I’ve not gone more than a few boxes of ammo and I already trust it better than OEM mag release. The stock release was short (Just…., a bit outside~ Bob Uecker) with pointed edges. Ya ya, it’s a little city boy of me and the points do hurt when I actually get to drop a mag. Anyway; edgy or not, I couldn’t reach the stock mag release efficiently without breaking stride. This is an improvement without straying from on design and operation. No added screws or wrenches to thread-lock or lose.

New Glock 19c-3gN. Zev tritium 3 dot U notch night sights. A smidge taller than stock sights as well. Otherwise, all stock Glock parts. I am anti-plugs and leaf blowers since we’re on things I detest.
