DJCAREY Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Im thinking about using safarilands els belt for 3gun, but most of my gear is bladetech. Will the els fasteners interchange with the tech lock fastener? Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mberry Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just switched everything on mine with no issues. TekLok holes and ELS clips match up just fine. The only thing I did not switch to ELS was my holster, I just left it on belt loops so I can easily slide it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fueddy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have everything setup on the ELS...just like winmagfrog says its a piece of cake. If you want your holster setup also get the QLS for gun...ELS isn't rated strong enough fyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Blade tech has the new tek lok fasteners that allow you to switch out stuff just like ELS. Really slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If you have a BladeTech DOH holster, the DOH attachment holes (2 of them) will line up with the QLS fork, I had to drill the third. I had some BT pouches w/o the teklok and I had to drill one hole in there too. Also I set up a CR Speed double mag pouch and used the metal backer plate to attach the ELS fork - holy crap! The metal must be made of a super duper space age invincible material because it took forever to drill just one hole in that darn thing and ruined my drill bit. Anyway, most of it should line up and if you have to drill a hole or two, don't be afraid of it, it's goes pretty smooth except for that last issue.

Kyreb Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Another GTG here. The holster was somewhat problematic. I had to remove the drop offset to get the proper fit and angle. I have a lot of Tek-Lok attachments in the parts box now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCAREY Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Can the man mountain engineering shell caddies be attached to the els system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blu46and2 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I never had any problem running my holster on ELS clips but did move over to QLS for my holsters recently. The ELS will hold them but the QLS holds them better. In my case, modification to the belt holes was required to mount the QLS plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon9 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Can the man mountain engineering shell caddies be attached to the els system? Yes. I had some older ones I had to drill and tap myself but they turned out great. I could be wrong but I believe the newer ones may be easier to adapt.

prreed10 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I modified my DOH Singray to work with the QLS - Had to add a couple holes and screws. Made me feel more comfortable due to the weight of the pistol. Down side is I believe it now sticks out too far from the belt to be USPSA legal.

If you buy them direct from Mountain Man you can order them already set up for ELS, just screw the forks on. That's what I did, hassle free.

eric4069 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I modified my DOH Singray to work with the QLS - Had to add a couple holes and screws. Made me feel more comfortable due to the weight of the pistol. Down side is I believe it now sticks out too far from the belt to be USPSA legal. This is a common issue with the Bladetech DOH regardless of attachment type. Many people just put a spacer between the holster and the DOH attachment at the bottom screw. I used a rubber washer, works great. It changes the outward leaning angle of the holster enough to make the distance legal.

triggerhound Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, in every case my Blade-Tech gear has been compatible with the ELS system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
