PLEASE READ: This adapter is designed ONLY for OMNIVORE model Blackhawk holsters; IT IS NOT "DUTY SAFE" AND CAN BREAK ON ANY OTHER BLACKHAWK HOLSTER MODELS! If you have a T-Series, Epoch, or other Blackhawk holster, please view the listing for a metal-reinforced adapter at https://www.ebay.com/itm/175448420561

-------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This listing is for a single adapter plate with 3 T-nuts *ONLY*; other items shown in the pictures are to demonstrate its use and to serve as a reference when mounting it to your equipment. A Blackhawk holster and Safariland QLS or other Safariland belt loop/rig are *NOT* included, plus you must have the 3 mounting screws that came with the holster as well as at least 3 of the medium or short screws that came with the Safariland product.)

-------------------------------------------------------

This is a polymer adapter plate that connects to a Blackhawk holster on one side, and to a Safariland QLS or other Safariland belt connection rig on the other side, allowing you to use your holster with the QLS mounting system or whatever other Safariland belt equipment you're currently (or prefer on) using. The adapter works with all Blackhawk holsters and Safariland belt-side kit; if there are any exceptions, we are not aware of them. (Note that it has been noted that there are difficulties connecting it to a third-party metal Safariland-compatible system, although I cannot recall which that is.)

Connecting hardware: the adapter comes with steel T-nuts that work with Safariland screws for the adapter-to-QLS (or other belt connector), with their 3/8" screws (overall screw length is 1/2") that have a "serrated/stair-step texture" on the underside being the best to use, although non-serrated or differently sized Safariland screws will work; the adapter to Blackhawk connection uses the screws that came with your holster. Do NOT use any grommets/spacers/washers/etc.when attaching the adapter!

-------------------------------------------------------

Important Installation Notes:

  1. See the  second picture for which side faces towards the holster, and which side faces towards the QLS fork or Safariland belt paddle/rig; it is possible to accidentally install it the wrong way around, and doing so will very likely lead to the plate breaking under use.
  2. The bolts holding the adapter plate to the Omnivore holster should only be *hand tight* - as soon as the holster can no longer "slide around", you shouldn't tighten it much farther (perhaps 1/4 a turn or so). Over-tightening will lead to deformation and/or cracking of the adapter around the screw holes, which can lead to an unnecessary failure of the adapter.
  3. BOTH SIDES of the adapter plate should be FLAT/FLUSH against both the holster side and QLS fork/belt paddle/rig side of your system. Placing gaskets/spacers/O-rings/shims under the screws or T-nuts that go through the adapter plate, and/or between the adapter plate and whatever it is attaching to, will allow the plate to bend and break with use.
  4. Although it is theoretically possible to attach a Safariland holster to a Blackhawk belt loop/rig using this adapter, it is not designed for that use, and doing so will most likely lead to damage to your equipment and possible cracking or breaking of the adapter. Using the adapter for this purpose will void the return warranty.
