Nimitz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 After removing the belt attachment that comes with the 014 holster it does not appear that the 3 holes line up with the holes on the ELS 34 clip nor do the supplied nuts appear to work ... am I missing something or do I need to do some mods to use the ELS 34/35 clips with the 014 holster?

ipscjoe Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You will only have the top two line up. I run mine with just the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Does it look like it might fit on the Safariland QLS? I posted a picture awhile back showing the different attachments. I have an NIB QLS if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Would it fit on the second one from the left on the bottom? http://www.brianenos.com/forums/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-5345-0-81732900-1399065378.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscjoe Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I think it looks too large for the QLS. Here is mine on the ELS fork. I love this setup. Did you try to mount it straight to the belt? I didn't like that close to my body but you may be different. I'm a pretty big guy. Edited May 15, 2014 by ipscjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The catalog mentions using QLS with the 014 but I am with you, it doesn't look correct. http://www.safariland.com/Catalogs/EViews/OutdoorProductsCatalog/files/assets/basic-html/page46.html I have to say that it doesn't seem that Safariland did a good job with hole spacing being consistent across different product lines.

Nimitz Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 I checked the Safariland site and does say that the 014 holster works with the QLS and shows several different competition setups with the 014 holster & QLS but the pics are hard to see how it is actually attached to the belt ...

alma Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I can't see how it would without an adapter of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Alma: the second one from the left on the bottom is the QLS and that's the one supposedly that should work. I have one coming so we'll see ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Alma: the second one from the left on the bottom is the QLS and that's the one supposedly that should work. I have one coming so we'll see ... Right. This is a picture of my belt. The issue is that if the two hole on the ELS fit then you will have a problem since the QLS' holes are further apart.

Nimitz Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Understood. I will be very disappointed if the very product that Safariland says to use to enable a quick disconnect with their 014 holster ends up not working .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 The 3 holes on the QLS clip do look like the 3 holes on the vertical bar of the 014 holster ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Nope. You can't even get two of the holes on a QLS to line up with the holster. Edited May 17, 2014 by Neomet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimitz Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 ok, I just sent a detailed msg to Safariland asking them how to setup the 014 holster. I'll also contact their live chat on Monday ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscjoe Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Question. Why are you set on using the QLS when the els will do the same? Are wanting to change to a duty type holster too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I go back and forth between my Limited/Tac Scope and Open set ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I am setting up the one belt so that I can shoot USPSA Production, Steel Challenge Open & 3-gun Tac ops all using the one belt. I use my CZ Shadow for both production & 3-gun so as long as I can figure out how to use one mount for both the 014 holster & my Black Ice BladeTech I'm golden. I doesn't appear you can use an ELS for a BladeTech so I'm hoping that I can use the QLS mount for both. I know the TMMS is supposed to work for Bladetech so I wonder if I could make that work for the 014 ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 You can attach 2 holes of a els fork to the bottom 2 holes of a bladetech holster. It's what I run on my belt so I can swap between my ghost stinger and bladetech doh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Cool, good to know. The ELS is the smallest profile of them all so that would be preferable. I assume it holds it secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimitz Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Since there are no holster location restrictions for open SC I may experiment with the ELS 34/35 clip in front and the TMMS Bladetech right behind it for my Productin holster. I have the Boss attachment from Ben for my Production holster that I want to try and make work. Hopefully between the 34/35 clips and TMMS I'll get one of them to work with the Boss attachment. Obviously the 34/35 would be best since that's what I'll be using for my 014 holster and could then use the same location for both holsters ...

jon49erfan Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Doesn't the boss hangar use bladetech hole locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
