SQR as alternative for the Safariland QLS system.
« on: August 02, 2020, 01:54:11 PM »
I am starting to entertain the idea of getting some formal training.  So, I started to put together a belt.  I wanted to use Safariland QLS system but I could not find any Safariland holster for my CZ75 BD.  I also wanted thumb release retention because I am not too confident with the Blackhawk serpa holster. I bought it several years ago. 
So I ended up with a Hogue owb holster.  I got another holster for my P09 as well.  So far I like them, but I still wanted a quick detachment system like the QLS.  So,  I found out that Comp-tac / High speed gear makes a similar system called SQR.  Please note that the Hogue holsters uses M4 screws and t -nuts.  The SQR uses 8-32 screws and retainer nuts.

After doing some investigation, I realized that integrating the SQR into the Hogue holster are very minimal compared with the QLS. Notice the I have to drill a new hole in between SQR holes.  The spacing of the SQR holes are 3/4" center to center.



The SQR system added a little over 1/2" thickness.



The Hogue holster comes with a spacer that provide some canting.   I did not like it so I made a new one by gluing three sheets of kydex material I have around.



Here is a view of the other half of the SQR system.  Left:   Blackhawk mid drop belt plate.  Right: Hogue belt plate.  No modification done.  The BlackHawk mid drop plate provides some canting and position the gun about 3/4" away from your body.



Holster attached into the belt.  I will see which one will work for me.

I know this is an old post but it’s what I’ve been looking for. I have a P07 I run with the ARS. I’m looking to do something similar but thinking of the the QLS. I know you mentioned that it being a more difficult setup.  I have a few Safarilands I run for different pistols. My question is did you keep the plastic spacer on the opposite side of the thumb drive and does the SQR interfere with the parts for the thumb because those are external?
