That is 100% legit... but my cost is nearly 10x our normal material cost. |

I don't have many videos, but here's one from a Run and Gun back in February. Had to have bowling ball "leash" in hand for all pistol targets, and then hang on 2x4 before moving to rifle position. I am short enough it just sat on the ground, so no big deal.
This was stage 5 or so of 7 or 8. I had run about 4+ miles before getting to this one, so forgive me for moving a little slow to the truck. I'm just glad I didn't face plant into the tailgate. Heartbreak ‘21 Run and Gun |

I could shoot some video of my ass rolling around on patrol. I will say I'm not thrilled with the G code mag pouches. I'm moving gear around because my mags keep getting knocked out entering and exiting the vehicle. They are adjusted as tight as I can get them and the mags still pop out.

So, up to at least 2” with those. The pouch also has laser cut molle between the belt loops, I’d imagine between malice clips or velcro one wrap you could mount it pretty securely to just about any size 2 piece belt. |

Thanks. We were thinking about 2.25" police duty belts.

I have my Burrito mounted on a Blue Alpha standard 1.75” belt with one wrap. It would be very easy to adapt to smaller or larger belts.

Next stop, success!

Hey fellas (and ladies). Question on mounting the True North Concepts MHA to my Safariland 6395 RDS. I'm finding, in my initial efforts to line things up, that I'm having to use no spacer on the bottom hole of the holster and the 2 largest spacers on the top 2 holes in the holster in order for the MHA to not push against the curved piece of plastic that is scxrewed to that same side of the holster.
I installed a nub mod and had to shave down some the plastic around where the ALS lever rides back and forth to allow for the lever to move smoothly. No big deal. But if the MHA touches that piece of plastic at all, it will press against the nub mod/ALS lever and it won't move. No biggie, that's what the spacers and extra hardware is for. The only thing I'm concerned about is not having a spacer for the bottom screw. I'll probably end up using a thin nylon washer, so not a huge deal either. So now to my question. Can y'all share some pics of how you've got your holster mounted to your MHA? I'm just curious if there's a better way. I'm also curious if any of y'all just remove the piece of plastic from the holster altogether. I'm headed out for Christmas mass and dinner with family, so I'll post pics later of what I'm talking about. The piece of plastic I'm referring to looks like it's there to keep things from falling into the holster and jamming the ALS on the side of the holster nearest your body (for righties). It may also be used for indexing on the draw or reholster, but I'm guessing. It's attached with 2 screws right under where the ALS lever sticks out of the top of the holster. I'd like to keep it, but perhaps there's a better way. Or perhaps using the MHA is overthinking on my part and I should just keep the Safariland UBL that it came with. But that would allow the holster to move around on the belt, it seems. Anyways, I hope y'all can show me how you've attached your MHA to your Safariland and I hope even more that you and your are having a very Merry Christmas!!! |

You talking about the piece that protects the button from a bad guy engaging it from the front? I took that off. Are you running the QLS? I haven't had any issues running the True North and QLS on two different belt setups. But I don't have a setup where the holster is mounted directly to the True North adapter.

View Quote Yes, I believe that’s the piece I’m talking about. I don’t have a qls attached to my holster, but I imagine that it would act as a big spacer and give the MHA the clearance I need to mount the holster and keep everything intact. |
