Frequently Asked Questions
Does the QLS 19 Locking Fork come with a receiver plate?
No — the QLS 19 Locking Fork is sold as a single component and does not include a receiver plate. To create a complete quick-disconnect system, you will also need a Safariland QLS 22 or QLS 22L Receiver Plate, which mounts to your belt attachment, leg shroud, or other platform. Both components are required for the system to function.
Which Safariland holsters are compatible with the QLS 19 Locking Fork?
The QLS 19 is compatible with any Safariland holster or pouch that features the standard 2-hole or 3-hole mounting pattern on the back panel — this covers the vast majority of Safariland duty and tactical holsters, including the 6000 series and many ALS/SLS models. If your holster already has a QLS fork installed, you can swap this coyote-finish version in as a direct replacement. Check your specific holster model's documentation to confirm pattern compatibility.
How secure is the QLS 19 connection during active use?
When properly installed and paired with a compatible QLS 22 or QLS 22L Receiver Plate, the QLS 19 Locking Fork passes Safariland's Level I Retention™ pull test, meaning the holster-to-platform connection can withstand standard directional retention forces encountered during duty use. The locking fork engages positively with an audible click and requires a deliberate release motion to disconnect, providing confidence during dynamic movement while still allowing rapid transfer when needed.
