Key Features:
- Made in Mexico
- Product Type: Gun Holster
- Package Dimension: 8.509 cm x 17.195 cm x 24.790 cm
- Package Weight: 0.399 kg
Setup
- Inspect Components: Verify all components are present and undamaged. The holster includes the QLS 19 Fork. Note that mounting hardware (e.g., QLS Receiver Plate, belt loop, or leg shroud) is typically sold separately.
- Attach to Mounting Platform: Align the QLS 19 Fork on the holster with a compatible QLS Receiver Plate (not included). Slide the fork into the receiver plate until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the locking mechanism engages fully.
- Adjust Position: Once attached, adjust the angle and height of the holster on your chosen platform (e.g., belt, leg rig) for optimal draw and comfort. Tighten any adjustment screws as necessary.
- Test Fit with Firearm: With the firearm unloaded and verified safe, carefully insert it into the holster. Ensure it seats fully and the Automatic Locking System (ALS) engages, securing the firearm.
Operating Instructions
Drawing the Firearm:
- Grip Firearm: Establish a full firing grip on the firearm while it is holstered.
- Disengage ALS: With your thumb, firmly press the Automatic Locking System (ALS) lever located on the inside of the holster. This releases the retention mechanism.
- Draw Upwards: While maintaining pressure on the ALS lever, draw the firearm smoothly upwards and out of the holster.
Re-holstering the Firearm:
- Clear Holster: Ensure the holster is clear of any obstructions.
- Insert Firearm: Guide the firearm straight down into the holster.
- Engage ALS: Push the firearm fully into the holster until you hear and feel the ALS mechanism click into place, securing the firearm. Verify the firearm is securely retained by gently pulling upwards without pressing the ALS lever.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the holster to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure the holster is completely dry before re-holstering a firearm or storing.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the holster for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage, especially around the retention mechanism and attachment points. Discontinue use if significant damage is observed.
- Lubrication: The ALS mechanism generally does not require lubrication. If it feels stiff, a small amount of dry lubricant (e.g., graphite powder) can be applied, but avoid wet lubricants that can attract dirt.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Firearm does not fully seat or ALS does not engage. | Obstruction, incompatible accessory (optic, light, compensator), or manufacturing tolerance. | Ensure no debris is inside the holster. If using aftermarket optics (e.g., Holosun 507C, 509t) or weapon lights (e.g., TLR-1HL, Surefire X-300), or threaded barrels/compensators, minor modifications to the holster may be required for proper fit. This may involve carefully sanding or dremeling specific areas. Note: Such modifications may void the product warranty. |
| ALS lever is stiff or difficult to disengage. | Dirt/debris in mechanism, lack of use. | Clean the ALS mechanism thoroughly. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant if necessary. Practice drawing to break in the mechanism. |
| Holster feels loose on mounting platform. | QLS Fork not fully engaged, mounting hardware loose. | Ensure the QLS Fork is fully seated and locked into the QLS Receiver Plate. Check and tighten all screws on the mounting platform. |
