Aircooled6racer Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hello: You have to make an adapter plate. Easy project if you can use hand tools and tap two holes. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks Eric. Found your answer on another thread. Thanks buddy. I'm actually asking red hill tactical if they can make a holster to fit the holes for the uspsa kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I just confirmed with red hill tactical that they can make one for the safariland uspsa kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutist Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm hoping some Entrepreneur will start producing the adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hello: It is an easy adapter to make. Working on the one for my single stack right now. It needs to hold the holster up higher than my limited holster. The limited one is 4 drilled holes and 2 tapped holes. The single stack one will have 3 drilled holes and about 8 tapped holes.

Thanks, Eric "Easy" is relative. Sounds like you have access to Tap and die kit... and other tools that most of us don't have at hand. I would like to see a picture of your adaptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hello: I'll take a pic of them tonight or tomorrow. I not only have a tap and die set, I was a Tool and Die maker in a past life. Tools are like guns the more you have the more fun you can have.

Aircooled6racer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hello: Well I tried the new adapter I made, I am now on version 4 which will work for single stack and limited type pistols. I ran into 2 problems with the USPSA kit. I broke 3 of the straps that fasten the mount to the belt. They seem to be a cheap cast piece and broke right at the attachment screw. I e-mailed Safariland on Monday and Wednesday about getting a replacement but never heard back from them which kinda sucks. I will be calling them Monday to see what they suggest. Having a holster fall off my belt would not be cool. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 doesn't suit me I have gone to the Ben Stoeger version I like the adjustment of the Safariland just can't get it where I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Hello: The Safariland is very adjustable with the Blade Tech holster and a good adapter. I like the leg support as well. Just need to get the strap problem sorted out. Thanks, Eric Edited December 19, 2015 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike821504 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Here are two photos I just took of the bracket I just fabricated. I am going to clean them up today by rounding off the corners and trimming off some stock. I would have done that straight away, but I needed it for a match yesterday. It was a fairly simple build. I just picked up some aluminum strap in the hardware section at Lowes and a 10x#24 tap. I cut the aluminum to size with my Dremel Tool then marked the location of all of the holes for the holster and the Safariland ball joint. The bracket just needs holes big enough to fit the T-Nuts. For the Ball Joint taping the hole is easy in the aluminum. Everything got a dab of Blue Loctite. The whole fabrication took only 30 minutes total.

Aircooled6racer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Mike: That looks good to me. It will work for a limited gun but will be too low for a Single Stack setup where the gun has to sit higher up. I made a couple for the limited setup before I got it right but only one for the single stack setup so far. I will take some pics today.

mike821504 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yeah, I am able to bring it up enough for the but to clear the belt for production. Thanks again for finding it on eBay, it was a great find. I like it a lot better than the the BOSS and not even comparable to the DOH.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck TLE Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I have heard that the USPSA Kit works with Comp Tac holsters out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The Safariland USPSA kit comes with a metal T bracket. That T bracket bolted right to my blade tech holster. No home made adapter needed. Must have changed designs in the 2 years since this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcoeng Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) On 6/12/2017 at 4:20 PM, jon49erfan said: So you are running an ELS belt with an ELS fork. Are you still good on the 2-1/8in rule? I was thinking of getting the same setup but using a QLS fork. Could you share your offset measurement from inside of belt? I'd be using with Shadow 2. Thanks Edit: @jon49erfan forgot to ask about durability? I've read some people are stripping out holes on the Safariland kit due to cheap material but it was mostly with the belt attachment, you're not and I won't be using. Have you had any other issues with durability or holes stripping? Edited June 17, 2017 by jcoeng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 you can adjust the cant of the holster so you will be able to make the 2" rule. No issues with durability so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck TLE Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I just took delivery of my Safariland USPSA KIT (the new model is called "USPSA KIIT -2") - and the mounting works correctly with both BladeTech and Comp Tac International series holsters. All three holes line up correctly with Comp Tac. Very nice piece of kit - my recommendation would be to purchase from Midway or Brownells and get it well below MSRP, as opposed to purchasing from Safariland direct at MSRP.
