jw3378 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Have only heard great things about the BOSS other than how it runs down the lug. Just saw the Springer precision hanger and it looks to be exceptionally nice as well. Has anyone had any experience between the two? Merry Christmas and God bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayUSPSA81 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Both are great! Get whichever one you like the the looks of best. Only thing if is for a single stack gett the Boss. The springer sits a little to low to be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksm2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 There's a guy who makes something similar, check eBay or USPSA gear in FB. Price is pretty fair @ $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hello: The Safariland USPSA kit is a great holster adapter. You have to make an adapter plate if you are using a Blade Tech or Comp-Tac holster. The Safariland 5198 bolts right on. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw3378 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 I came across a deal on a BOSS that I couldn't pass. I now have the question, for single stack, is there a metal holster mount that offers the 2" offset with no drop? I'm really not a fan of plastic mounting hardware.

jw3378 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Are there any products on the market that are just the mounting hardware that I could replace a tek-lock with that are a metal construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking for a metal teklok? I've never seen one. There is really nothing glaringly wrong with a teklok straight onto your belt. They are generally well constructed and it's not like you're taking it on and off all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw3378 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Not a direct replacement to the trek-lock, just a mounting hardware collectively that is constructed out of metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPENB Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I ordered the eBay hanger today. Hooks hella stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 eBay hanger came in today, & I got it put on my Blade Tech. It is for sure heavy duty, but crudely finished, which doesn't matter to me for the price I paid. All the holes line up perfectly. It is unanodized aluminum, so I will probably shoot it with flat black Krylon or Plastidip. Appears to be a good budget alternative to the Boss & Springer.

The finish is definitely rough. Few minutes with the belt sander and a scrotch brite belt and I'm happy with it though. My only complaint is the screw for the angled slot is a little short, only engages a thread or so instead of flush to the back of the plate like the others.

mksm2016 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Garmil, I have the same issue and I haven't had a chance to go to Home Depot or a hardware store to find one that will fit. And yes, they are rough, gotta sand mine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make an adapter plate if you are using a Blade Tech or Comp-Tac holster. The Safariland 5198 bolts right on. Thanks, Eric I have the Safariland USPSA kit. Two issues. First, the belt retention strips on the back of the mount were cheap aluminum and broke (crumbled actually) when I attempted to install the unit on my belt (belt was a bit thicker than the track in the mount). I replaced them with kydex strips and no issues. there. E mails to Safariland went unanswered. Go figure. The second issue is that it appears Safariland uses the same cheap, cast aluminum on all parts of their products. Loosening and tightening the screws caused them to strip out after about three adjustments. Fortunately the ones that stripped were for the little round pad at the base of the rail, so it was not a big deal, but still annoying. Other than those issues, it works great. I'm just afraid to adjust it in any way now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hello: I broke the holding straps as well. I made some out of some thin stainless steel strapping. On aluminum pieces I always use some anti seize on the screws to help stop the galling. I am using a Blade Tech DOH hanger with some rubber washers to get the angle correct and spacing. Is there a perfect mount? I haven't seen one yet but you have to find what works for you the best. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I swap between the BOSS and the USPSA I like the adjustability of the USPSA but also like the rigidity of the BOSS, you're right I doubt there will ever be the 'perfect' hanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
