Wow! You managed to make an "all in one" video and explained it in more depth and faster than ANYONE at my local gun store. (not knocking them, but let's be real, this is a niche market) With that said, as a retired professional drummer, I understand that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Some brands "claim" that they have ALL the solutions...in my experience this is NEVER true. I am new to this world of never ending acronyms and am tired of cheap companies trying to sell me shit that I have to keep returning. Thank you for helping on my quest to find the equipment that suits me!

Great video! You covered a lot of ground in 20 minutes and was well presented. Over the last 40 years I've collected every Safariland mount you've shown, and then some. They're all now in my big holster box in the attic. For me, the True North MHA has beat Safariland hands down for six months now being worn four to seven days a week and eight to twelve hours per day! Not even a hint of hot spot problems so far and I haven't had a need for a leg strap with the MHA. Keep up the good work!

Super helpful video in terms of deciding on a Safariland config. I ultimately chose the True North Concepts MHA. Love it!

I'm an experience shooter looking to modernize my gun belt a little bit, and I learned a lot. Thx brothers, for this video.

I went with True North in no small part due to your video. I am very happy with the results.

wow man huge respect for covering everything so concisely and quick without wasting time on bullshit, subed

Excellent breakdown... love seeing someone getting down to the nuts and bolts. Good work QP.

Thru trial and error. I found a Safariland high ride CUBL was the way to go for me. +1 for actually mentioning higher ride and comfort. Great video.

I went TNC for both my rig. Your video was a good source of information, thank you.

Have both, TNC is a game changer for me. Flat range work and training classes. The draw is super consistent and solid💯

I think the real holster adapters were the ice vents aero that changed the comfort level of wearing a holster for the rest of eternity...that we found along the way.

Great video. If I didn’t already have a Safariland setup I would definitely go with the True North rig. Thanks Qore for being a freedom loving company!

This video is so informative and allows for the potential consumer to make the best decision based on important details. Keep up the awesome work!

The shade thrown at Amazon makes me happy. Like Walmart, sometimes they just have the thing you need, but I will always avoid giving these companies money if at all possible.

I bought a gbrs v2 assaulter belt, safariland als holster with the qls and the true north mha with leg strap. Super excited to get it set up

This is the first video to truly explain all this stuff. Thank you.

Awesome video dudes! Knocked it out of the park. You guys helped me decide to get the TNC MHA rig. Mainly due to the molle attachment and simplicity

I love AWS INC, great customer service and products! And love my UBLs. Love your video on True North Concepts! Witty sense of humor and splendid shooting. Great gear review. New subscriber from the video! You are so funny! Very enjoyable video!!!! Just may get one of these True North Concepts !

I really enjoyed this video, I am currently building a belt setup for general larping and some competition use. I really like the mha and plan on getting one eventually but I was able to snag a ubl mid in a bargain bin for $10 and so I decided to go that route for now

I run UBLs. I have both long and medium that I use for different assignments. I also have a Safariland small drop leg that sees use on specific assignments. I use QLS adapters for each UBL, and I have a female QLS mounted horizontally on the left side of my armor carrier. Why? A holster mounted in the traditional location, but on a UBL pushes the business end deep into your vehicle seat, thus compromising the material and padding below, and, due to resistance, pushing your body into imbalance. Those of us that do the job tend to retire with enough health issues as it is, I see no reason to add more. Now, my pistol is at hand height while driving, and can be moved to traditional location in less time than it takes to get out of my seat belt. I have the MHA set up for other work, with an entirely different type of belt set up. No issues to report, that I did not already anticipate. Like most things in the realm of gunfighting equipment, there is no one answer. I have a box with well over $1000 worth of Milt Spark holsters and belts from 20+ years ago when I first started carrying 1911s daily. Today, I have added to that box, a room full of vests, belts, adapters and do-hickeys that have all been given a fair shot at the starting lineup. Some were starters - champions even. But as they aged, other products were brought to market and did something a little bit better. There is no one answer. There is no free lunch. You have to open your wallet. Then you have to open your calendar. Spend the money and the time to give yourself the best chance to be the best you.

Awesome content very refreshing. you earned a subscriber!

I tried using the MHA for a while. It's a nice piece although I ended up getting rid of it and switched to using a CUBL. The MHA is infinitely more uncomfortable than the CUBL for me, and I also found the amount of customization on the MHA to essentially he worthless, since most people will simply find the exact setup that works for them and then never touch it again.

Very good comparison vid bud. I am building my first battle-belt and have found the whole ordeal very daunting. I'm not a competition guy or a military guy so my knowledge on the subject is limited. I'm also Canadian so finding peers with this train of thought is near impossible. Lol. I just believe a fella should be able to protect his family if it came down to it and having a rig that can actually hold all your gear rather than stuffing pistols and mags in pockets and waistbands.... is a good idea. It's a quick grab-&-go deal. I have spent weeks trying to figure out what to buy and I have it all figured out. I have a CZ Shadow 2 and for its configuration I'm going with the Blue Alpha Battle Belt Lite, a Redhill Tactical Level 2 holster, True North MHA, and the Safariland QLS kit. I also have a Spartan Difensa coming with both the leather and kydex sheath. I was going to get Esstac Kiwi mag pouches for my CZ mags but the buggers don't make them.... so I am still on the hunt for mag pouches. This gear is pricey but it's definitely fun and enlightening building a kit!

I switched to the MHA from the UBL. I like the adjustability and stiffness of metal vs plastic (less flipping). The only issue I’ve had is the metal presses against the rivets on my jeans making things uncomfortable. Similar to their holster pad, I got the Shaw concepts pad because it has a built it leg strap. Once installed, the MHA is pretty much perfect.

Damn, I'm shopping for a belt rig now and you've convinced me to get the MHA......

Actually went to your shop and bought the padding. Thank you.

You're a nerd, but I appreciate that. 🤣 I'm still experimenting to see what works and and swapping to the high rise UBL to see how that works out. The mid has been causing more issues than I'd like.

One thing you forgot is that with a true North Concepts, you have more belt room then on the Safariland product. A couple inches altogether can make a significant difference.

I found and ordered my True North just recently. I also ordered the wilder tactical UBL leg strap assembly, which is compatible with True North. It also swivels

Thank you for this video everything makes sense now ❤️

Very helpful video, thanks.

Great breakdown, thank you.

Im using Shaw concepts, sidecick v2. Period. Slow n Smooth Smooth is Fast. Cheers

Is the MHA attachment system big enough for a 2.25" duty belt? I want to add the QLS to my holster so I can take the whole holster off when checking individuals into a detention center. Could I use a high ride ubl with the MHA bar to attach it to my belt? I would just use my current mid UBL but I don't want it sticking out and off my body too far.

Great video thanks for the information

Very informative video. Thanks. As a side I currently make my living hiking the mountains and desserts on the border in SoCal but I wear just green. We could use you back down here. Honor First

I just use my extra helmet pads and stick then to UBL lol. But sometimes they fall out. I think I'm going to have to buy one of these lol.

I have both,waiting on my other belt to try the true north concepts

While it doesn't address the weight of the QUBL, Wilder Tactical sell a modified version that slips through the molle on a belt just like the MHA. Their leg strap also mounts on a swivel, allowing it to move a bit more with you. I like it, but may try the MHA next time around.

Have you guys reviewed the Strike Industries Ricci holster adapter? Great review, thanks!

Was issued safariland I like it but added the ice vent as soon as it came in due to hot spots. I like the idea of the of the mha will be looking into it for my personal stuff.

My question is wearing the True North on a patrol shift for 12hrs in a vehicle… any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Safariland didn't deliver my UBL, so I've been looking at other options. I dig the consistency of having it go through MOLLE loops.

I went with True North. I run a beretta m9 like a fudd! and i like that i can mount super low so the muzzle clears the holster without me raising up my shoulder or putting my elbow too far back.

What is the tourniquet wrap at 1:14 called?

Consider building a holster pad for ANR design Holster mount. The Aero pad isn't a perfect fit, and there is a little hot spot at the Widest point lower corner of the mount.

I love your video. A Safariland high ride ubl with the qls which allows some cant would solve most of the issues that you are pointing out. Those (high ride ubl) cost about $15 NOT $185. Like I said like your video you are very interesting articulate and entertaining. Too much of a hard sell in this vid.

I have two UBLs one hip and one a low ride in leather. Very heavy. I would like to try this out for range or tactical. I have a leg shroud to on my Condor elite tactical belt.

Love the channel but I feel you did Safariland a little dirty on the pries lol.

Where can I get the strap you have on your holster for the tourniquet ?

A company reviewing something from 2 other companies honestly….. unexpected but not unappreciated

What safariland holster is that with the hood? Seems the acro fits under it.

what are you using to secure the tourniquet to the holster?

Do you have to use a qls system to mount to safariland to mhs? Or can u mount the holster straight to the mhs?

so do these work with a EDC belt ? or must I have the War belt

Do you know when you will have the ice pads back in stock for the tru north?

Black Scorpion Gear has the best easy cant adjustment quick attach holster system

very good info thank you

Anyone know of a tact holster for this set up which accommodates ROCK ISLAND 1911 10mm FS Tac double stack Tac with a Streamlight TLR 1 also suppressor ready?

I just bought a Safariland Glock 21 holster like the black one in this video used for $15.00 in a pawn shop.

I use a VUBL with the Safariland pad and have never had a hotspot issue.

Can adjust the cant with the QLS. Doesnt get to a true 0. But damn close, ubl, qls, call it done. What ive done for years. And never exoerienced a hotspot even in the dead of florida summer

What about the issue of the Safariland "slack" in the belt loop slots? For example, the AWS SMU belt I'm running is 1.75" but the slots in the Safariland UBL are larger, leaving some slack and extra up and down movement when you draw your weapon. Anybody have a solution for this?

Nice review ,good points,well put together. MHA for me, with some sort of padding underneath,because it's chewing thru the pants material. As for moving with it, if it's on the exterior of the thigh, it doesn't bother me,if i put it in front of the thigh,in a sort of slight 14 a clock position,then yes ,it's rubbing and kind of impedes in some movements. (did you ever sustained a left shoulder injury or something? your constantly moving your left shoulder upwards)

Safariland GLS holsters and blade tech tmms worked for me. Tek-lok for accessories.

What belt are you running at the beginning?

I noticed that for the price of the safariland cost analysis you chose to add up the UBL, VUBL, QSL, FORK, CUBL DFA, and leg strap vs the True north concepts you only took into consideration the MHA and the leg strap, which begs me to ask how am i going to quickly connect and remove my gun with the holster (If i don't have the fork that safariland sells) if that wasn't included in the cost analysis. Kinda of a little biased no? Great comparison truly but I'm genuinely asking as I am considering one of these options.

Great video! Watching from Poland. Can you sit whilst wearing a MHA drop leg panel? About to buy one and thought it might be uncomfortable. Thanks Hamish

When is the IceVents Classic for the MHA going to be available?

What tq strap is that?

Out of curiosity which Safariland is able to accommodate a Glock with an Acro P2? My safariland will fit my G19 w/ Acro, but the optic hood will not fold all the way over the optic like seen in this video.

Good stuff

I’m a cop in Thailand. The prices of these stuffs are 2-3 times more expensive than in the US😢 And it’s soooo hot here, heat is the big problem. Really need those pads, it would be a lot more comfortable to me. But thing is i don’t know where to buy it here and buying things from oversea is a bit too complicated for me

Question would you pick the True North over the Blade Bech Tek Mount System?

What is the strap you're using for the TQ on the green holster?

Could you do an ice vent for the Wilder Tactical rotating UBL leg strap assembly?

How does the MHA do with sitting though? I plan on running a drop leg with a strap and Thats the one thing I keep coming back to because it looks so rigid. If youre running and gunnin', bending, standing and everything in between; how is this thing with a leg strap attached if youre on one knee?? Thats what I wish was in the video.

Have you tried the Wilder tactical safariland ubl modified mid ride hanger truly changes the setup for me

You need to come up with some universal appendix carry ice vent options. Those of us who AIWB carry full sized guns need more help than anyone, lol.

I have a Safari Land CUBL and it’s ok but I need something new. I am going to go with the MHA. I’ll just attach a Tek Lock to the top for easy on and off.

i have been running the mid rid with the UBL pad for work. this video is making me spend more money

How is the safariland drop flex compares to ubl?

By minute 16 of this video, I ordered a true north MHA. Well done.

Been running the UBL for a few years and IMO it’s sub par. The rounded bottom end digs into the leg with or without a leg strap, and it naturally tips the gun handle out away from the body. SL should have just made it kin line with the leg. Just decided to put out the money for the True North.

What’s the strap holding the tq on the holster

What was the old job this guy is alluding to?

They make a adapter for Gcode to fit safariland qls holes

Dara holsters are excellent. I own both safariland & Dara & to be honest, I find Dara a lot better & nicer in every aspect

I like my drop leg but cant for duty so I run a lowride, only downside is sitting (depending on your holster length) pushing the top of the ubl into my hip at time and hurting like hell over time. And that mha looks like it would to it even worse.

Who makes the best holster?

I have a long holster adapter it's made out of leather and it sucks to heavy. The thing bumps on my leg and rubs on my leg giving me bruises. Just go to a low ride system. There 30 or 40 bucks.

For any real duty belts i really think a safariland UBL is still best ik a lot of ppl I work with use QLS sets , im sure they are good but anything that is a moving part will eventually fail regardless of how well made , I feel adding a possible failure point to a duty weapon setting is not super wise

That is Peacemaker training Center isn't it??

Ice belt pads ?

Idk i run a CUBL low ride with a leg strap , I dont know if its really the most inavative choice but what i find is that law enforcement equipment is not alwaya somthing i want to be super inavative, I agree that on duty goinv with stuff thats been orove over decades and over thousands of ppl

The MHA is brilliant in its versatility but there’s a huge difference and thus problem between it and the UBL. The MHA I straight. Most people’s bodies aren’t. If you did all chest and arms for the chics and skipped leg days great but for me at 6’6” 280 it didn’t work. The can’t of the MHA was always away from the body at the bottom. I tried using spacers at the top that TNC even sent me for free but it’s just awkward so unless I use a tourniquet as a leg strap it’s never parallel with my body. I switched back to the UBL mid ride and might even bump that up to a standard ride because I hate leg straps. They don’t play well with shorts. I’d definitely say try it cause if it works you’re golden. If safariland could just make the UBL not paddle sized that would work too. Safariland or someone needs to create a curved UBL you can bolt to a teklok. Lose the loops. Problem solved except the thigh strap.

My biggest reason for using the MHA is that i like thigh straps and can get them to ride a little lower and minimize the crotch wedgie factor. I would switch back to the UBL if anybody out there knows of a nifty little thigh strap extension piece i can pick up. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Just finished assembling ubl 😭

That music in the beginning is going to raise suicides by at least 10%

What retailer sells MHA?
