Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up a QVO secondary holster with a UBL and leg strap?

To set up your QVO secondary holster with a UBL and leg strap, first attach the QLS fork to your holster. Then, slide your belt through the UBL and position it. Place the leg strap against the UBL and secure the QLS receiver plate to the UBL, ensuring the leg strap is between them. Finally, slide the holster into the receiver plate until it locks.

What is the purpose of the Safariland QLS system in holster setups?

The Safariland QLS (Quick Locking System) allows for the rapid attachment and detachment of holsters to various platforms like belts, chest rigs, or vehicles. This modularity enables users to quickly swap holsters for different firearms or carry methods without reconfiguring their entire belt setup.

Why is a leg strap important for some holster setups?

A leg strap is important for holsters without built-in retention devices, like some open-top designs. It helps keep the holster securely against the leg, preventing it from shifting or bowing up during movement, which ensures a consistent draw and prevents the firearm from becoming dislodged.

How can I make my QVO mag carriers compatible with MOLLE belts?

QVO Tactical now offers an optional MOLLE-Lock style clip for their mag carriers. This clip attaches to the carrier via screws and threads through MOLLE webbing on a belt or plate carrier, providing a secure mounting solution for various tactical setups.
