Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today the introduction of its new MOLLE Locking System (MLS) and Quick Locking System (QLS) for law enforcement, SWAT, military, and personal protection applications. The two new locking systems allow users to quickly mount, reposition, and remove many Safariland holsters or accessories to belts or MOLLE loop-equipped apparel.

The Safariland MLS allows holsters and accessories to be attached to any belt or MOLLE loop-equipped apparel using two locking forks. Squeezing the two forks together and pulling removes the MLS, allowing users to rapidly modify gear arrangements without the need for tools or removal of vests, leg shrouds or belts. The MLS can also be used for mounting holsters and accessories beneath a dashboard inside a vehicle or under a desk in a home or business.

The Safariland QLS attaches holsters and accessories on locking forks similar to the MLS, yet is designed for a duty officer to be able to slide the QLS fork onto the duty belt. The duty plate is designed specifically for the Universal Belt Loop (UBL) and will satisfy a Level I Retention pull test.

The Safariland MLS and QLS will work with any Safariland duty, tactical, or concealment holster that features a standard three-hole bolt pattern. A Safariland ALS (Automatic Locking System) holster is recommended for both applications.

The new Safariland MLS and QLS are available in black, flat dark earth brown, foliage green, or OD green.
