Yes. I run the true north adapter without a leg strap. Very annoying during foot chases and drawing my pistol. I switched back to safariland ubl with zipties because of this. Considering the bang hanger now just because it is lighter in weight. I am concerned that it will have the same flipping as the true north.
Good breakdown. I had the MHA, got the Icevents pad for it and didn't end up needing it as I never got the "hot spot" many others reported while using the MHA on patrol. Shoutout to the Icevents inner belt. Since I've used it I've had no bruising from either my firearm holster nor my taser holster and it's held up well for the 6 months I've had it. I would recommend it to everyone who uses a "two piece" belt setup.
ANR design belt mount. Cheaper than Safariland, can fit 2 inch/1.75/1.5 inch belt loop. It is also cantable forward positive or backward negative. Comes in standard (slightly lower than safariland mid ride), or short (looks equal to safariland mid ride) design. Only $17. Combined with the QLS (which already has built in cant) there are intuitive adjustments available. It is also lighter than true north concepts being that it isn’t metal. I was able to add some pads on top of using Qore performance aero pad to block off any potential hot spots the holster mount may have. Normal thigh straps still work , I use Trex Arms thigh strap Keep it simple.
I would like to see some sort of standardized destructive testing involving the force necessary to rip a holster body (say, a 7390 or 7360) from the mounting hardware
I currently use the Ice Vents Classic pad on the Banghanger, and I have to say that while it certainly helps, it would be nice to have a more precise pad with a thicker taper towards the bottom and with full coverage on the corners. The material still digs into my thighs and causes hotspots after a few hours of wear. I find that the pad also shifts away from the corners, as it's only really being secured by the velcro strap.
It would be awesome to see wilder tactical’s mhp included as I have yet to see any reviews. Then a durability test of some sort for those of us in duty settings. Also the ride heights between them all
Flex and strength. How much can/will the adapter flex or tilt or shift if the draw isn’t perfect or otherwise effected by other factors. If someone besides the wearer attempts to remove the firearm or the wearer falls or hits the holster on an object (or gets hit) how will they hold up?
How many belt have been destroyed by the MHA??? It’s hard on belts. The bang hanger is awesome. It’s flex while worn is so much more comfortable and I don’t need a thigh strap with it like I did with my MHA.
I've seen 2 belts get their MOLLE chewed up by MHAs. Won't be a problem for a while for people who only wear their belt for the occasional range outing, but for anyone wearing their belt regularly, mounting it over the belt is the best option. Or just get a Bang Hanger. It won't chew up belts and is much nicer than having a slab of aluminum hanging off the belt.
A common problem we’ve all experienced for sure. Thanks for the solid suggestion. Do you have any ideas for how we could do that objectively/empirically and avoid subjective opinions?
Take a look at the RDR Gear MH2. Looks nearly identical to the UBL but has significant built-in cant capabilities and a really slick TQ bracket available. Good pick especially for those concerned about something that "looks different" at work.
The last three holsters I have gotten from safariland all have come installed on a cubl. That being said, i run everything on MHAs. I would love to see destructive testing of belt mounts to see what holds up the best, as well as separate testing on quick detach adapters (qls/g-code rti/ blatetech) tekmount)

True North Concepts is solid but there are two things I found annoying. First, they are adaptable but there is a price for that. If you get the adapter for Gcode and other holsters you are adding bulk and complexity. In regards to complexity adjusting is a PIA. Trying to find the perfect leg strap placement and height requires you disassemble the thing. Assembly is fine but that is a challenge with the universal adapter. Not impossible but not straightforward. The rigidity of the system can be annoying. When you sit, the long mount does not swivel. Not a deal breaker but be aware. Compatibility is limited in some combinations. I added an rti wheel. My Havok holster’s hood would not seat properly because the the thumb release got caught up with the universal adapter. A spacer solved this issue but with the adapter, rti wheel and spacer, the holster sticks out an inch! So i changed it back and won’t use the holster on that belt.
@@HockeyFan46 its about the comfort of it. I Could never drive a car with a low ride, bang hanger makes any height super comfy and you will actually be able to work out of car with the lowest height. Something that is very painful with every single other option.
@@HockeyFan46 I use it on patrol everyday for the last 6 months. Switched from the truenorth. Mainly for the swivel ability and it is easier to pull off and use on my competition belt. I’d say it’s the best one I’ve used
These Adapters were selected using a combination of audience requests and Instagram polls, so we had no hand in selecting the lot. That said, we can certainly add more adapters to the follow-on video if y'all want, just let us know here in the comments.
I would like to see how blade tech stacks up. I have a few of their holster and attachments and supposedly you can convert safari land holsters to use blade tech’s attachment systems.🤷♂️
I run a Bladetech tek-mount on a GWS bang hanger on my battle belt. When attached to a tek lock, or a UBL, it does push it out a bit more from the body. For fast application or on the flat range, I run a Bladetech UBL with Tek Mount and mag carriers on mini tek mount recievers on tek locks. For more dynamic shooting, I move my holster to my battle belt. It's much more comfortable in unconventional shooting positions.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE GCA50 - RTI Hanger. IT ALLOWS YOU TO CANT THE HOLSTER PROPERLY WITH THE SAFARILAND HOLSTERS. I use the GCA50 - RTI Hanger attached to a Safariland holster on the True North Concepts hanger with the G-Code RTI along with the Shaw concepts sidekick leg strap. I use this configuration for work and it is my prefered method of carry. I am glad you put this content out. I will be sending this video to my co-workers that have been asking me about this very subject.

A test that can measure holster flip during running and that “peel” effect when drawing without a leg strap would be interesting

Great feedback and excellent points! Thank you
Blackhawk & Bladetech also have mounts & quick release attachment systems, be nice to see how they stack up w/ the others

Used to be a fan of MHA. Switched to a Wilder Tactical MHP without any regrets.
Do you use the wilder in a duty duty setting? And seen any sort of stress/torture test of it? Curious how durable it is

What’s the difference in ride height between the two? Currently use true north’s lowest ride option. Always been curious
@@HockeyFan46without holding them side by side my memory is saying very similar.
@@timmarshall3651• Can i achieve a mid ride with the bang hanger?
Excellent video!
Good video. I think a vehicle sitting test with these adapters would be interesting.
A common problem we’ve all experienced for sure. Thanks for the solid suggestion. Do you have any ideas for how we could do that objectively/empirically and avoid subjective opinions?
How’s the Kore Essentials adapter?
Compare them on 2.25" LE style duty belts. Those are the widest common use duty belts.

Should’ve included Wilder tacticals MHP
i run blueforce, on a chlk belt and the leg strap. its awesome.
You forgot thr Blade tek and the wilder tactical products

I always end up going back to Safariland's CUBL.

Will your holster pad fit on the safariland leg shroud and/or the safariland drop leg/thigh holster?
I have Been running the true north concepts MHA on my grid belt from blue force gear for a little over 4 years and it’s the only superior way
Go try the GWS bang hanger. You’ll be surprised
incorrect, bang hanger is superior
Whats the difference in ride heights between the lowest options for the two?
@@HockeyFan46 its about the comfort of it. I Could never drive a car with a low ride, bang hanger makes any height super comfy and you will actually be able to work out of car with the lowest height. Something that is very painful with every single other option.
Trying to decide between bang hanger and true north.
Same. What did you decide on? Can I achieve a mid ride with both?
@@MrBigChops I just ordered the bang hanger but I’m traveling for 3 weeks so it will be awhile before I can give you a review
@@logandutton • I think I’ve decided to go ahead and get the Bang Hanger. Did you get yours directly from the guardian warriors solution website bro?
@@logandutton • Safe travels! I ended up buying the Bang Hanger tonight. Hos long did their shipping take?
@@MrBigChops I think it was around 1.5 weeks! Not terrible
Where’s wilder ? Having used most of these daily, the wilder is by far the comfiest and best working
Do you use wilder in a duty setting? And do you trust its durability? I’ve been looking for any sort of stress/torture test of it
@@HockeyFan46 I use it on patrol everyday for the last 6 months. Switched from the truenorth. Mainly for the swivel ability and it is easier to pull off and use on my competition belt. I’d say it’s the best one I’ve used
Seems lots of adapters are missing here. With the part of the video talking about bias, i think there is some bias by omission here.

You can but you add alot of thickness. I started with blade tech and went to safariland due to it
I run a Bladetech tek-mount on a GWS bang hanger on my battle belt. When attached to a tek lock, or a UBL, it does push it out a bit more from the body.
For fast application or on the flat range, I run a Bladetech UBL with Tek Mount and mag carriers on mini tek mount recievers on tek locks. For more dynamic shooting, I move my holster to my battle belt. It's much more comfortable in unconventional shooting positions.
hey I can't find a plate carrier big enough for a four magazine placard, can anyone give me a hand finding one?
