MLS vs QLS

[M4Fundi]

These are questions as this crap is giving me a headache and Safariland's website is no help.

Only functional differences between these is MLS is breakaway and QLS is LEO Level 1 Retention?

They are both "equally" strong/rigid for holding the same weight?

Physical difference is they are not interchangeable and the MLS is a 1/3 larger.

The MLS fork is used on the receiver back to hold it to MOLLE and then you need a second MLS fork to attach to holster?

Can you use an MLS fork to attach a QLS receiver to MOLLE and just use the QLS system for a smaller footprint on hip an chest?

What other pros and cons between these?

What are you trying to attach to what?

I wouldn’t consider QLS to be level 1 retention. It’s a mechanism for attaching a holster to a carrying system. The holster itself has all of the retention characteristics.

QLS was designed for LEO to meet Level 1 Retention according to Safariland and is industry standard for LEO quick detach.

Not to derail too much but have you considered swapping everything over to G-Code's RTI system? Its a little more expensive and I usually have to order the RTI mounts and holsters from two different places, but all of the opinions I found online pointed to the RTI being slightly superior and lower profile. Just a thought.

Add a safariland holster shank of your choice.

Mount a female end to the shank and to the molle fork. Add the male end to your holster. The

I cannot speak to the rigidity of the MOLLE molle fork or to mounting a holster to a PC.

There was a thread somewhere. IIRC the MLS has a lower breaking weight vs. QLS .
