Safariland QLS Fork Only: Setup, Fit, and Mounting FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about the Safariland QLS Fork Only: what's included, which receiver plates it fits, how the quick-transfer system works, and what to know before you mount it.
What you get—and what you don't—with the QLS Fork Only
Does the QLS Fork Only include a receiver plate?
No. The product record explicitly states “RECEIVER PLATE NOT INCLUDED.” The fork is the part that attaches to your holster, but you need a separate QLS 22 or QLS 22L receiver plate to mount it to a belt, leg shroud, or other platform.
What's the difference between the QLS Fork Only and a QLS kit?
A kit typically bundles both the fork and a receiver plate. The Fork Only is just the fork, so it's a good choice if you already own a receiver plate or want to buy plates separately for multiple mounting points.
Which holsters and mounts is the fork compatible with?
The supplied compatibility list includes Optio V2, Centurion V2, and MSP OWB. The fork connects to either the QLS 22 or QLS 22L receiver plate, which lets you transfer your holster between attachment points such as a belt loop, tactical leg shroud, or other stable mounting platform.
Mounting and retention questions
How do I mount the QLS fork to my belt or other platform?
The fork itself doesn't attach directly to a belt—it slides into a receiver plate that is mounted to your belt loop, leg shroud, or other platform. The product record doesn't include step-by-step installation instructions, so follow the instructions that come with your receiver plate or consult Safariland's guidance.
Does the QLS fork and plate combo pass retention testing?
Yes. The product record states that the QLS fork and plate combination passes the Level I Retention pull test. That means when properly assembled, the system is designed to meet that standard.
Can I use the fork with any receiver plate?
The fork is designed to connect to either the QLS 22 or QLS 22L receiver plate. Other receiver plates are not confirmed as compatible in the supplied information, so stick with those two models for a secure fit.
Ordering and shipping details
Is the QLS Fork Only available for international shipping?
No. The product record states: “This product cannot be shipped internationally.” If you're outside the shipping area, you'll need to source it through a local dealer.
What's the price of the QLS Fork Only?
The catalog lists it at USD 13.55, with a comparison price of USD 21.50. Prices can change, so check the current listing before you order.
