What holster system is recommended for quick pistol swaps on a battle belt?

The recommended system involves a T-Rex Arms Ragnarok holster with a QLS fork, mounted on a Safariland Mid-Ride UBL that has a QLS receiver plate. This allows for rapid detachment and swapping of different pistol holsters, accommodating various firearms.

How does the Blue Alpha battle belt system attach and function?
