Does anyone know if you can change the paddle out and put a belt slide on this for duty carry?

The paddle can be taken off of the holster without a problem and if a compatible belt-slide exists, then I'm sure it could be attached. However, I'm not aware of a compatible belt slide. On a side note: I rarely use this holster anymore. I only conceal carry, so I use a Frontline IWB holster.

Hello, If you are using solely the paddle attachment then this could support it if made sure the belt is tight and the paddle is used to sit into pants as intended. It will not be compatible with the belt attachment though as it a very thick belt.

If your vest is for suty use, I would say don't use this holster. The retention isn't good enough. It can't be set up for low ride either. I use a CR speed belt for IPSC and it is fine when I use my chest rig for carbine. I am not law inforcement, but this is what my law enforcement guys comment. I also don't use the paddle version. I use the belt loop version.

Yes you can. Even though it is meant for pocket carry, you can still use it IWB. I found it to be a little bulky for my liking in my pocket (not the holster but the gun). I really only use it IWB anymore. The rubber grips all over the holster help keep it in place. I advise you to where a belt which also helps keep it in place. However, you must be careful when undoing your belt since there are no clips your gun could just fall. I know its not really meant to be used this way but its comfortable, concealed and i'll wear it all day. Used with Sig P238.

Actually, I bought the Double Magazine Pouch, Belt, Glock 9 &40, HK 9 & 40 Sold by BIGFLYSPORTS in 2012 and it did not have the paddle, merely belt loops. What was nice was that it was slightly curved and fit well when placed at hip side. I tried to "re-look" it up but keeps showing the picture of the one your intersted in which appears to be mounted on paddle only but says "belt version".After searching Amazon in Fobus, there is a RP (rotating paddle) version that looks the same for $28.36.Email Fobus for more info.

I tried and it is really awkward and isn't tactical or practical on a belt. My advice is to get a molle vest or plate carrier for this. I used it on one of my old plate carriers and it is effing sweet. Practical and tactical. Its not big and bulky and is easy to use. Durable too. Hope this helps

I bet it will be hard to find a paddle holster that has light/laser capabilities. You can find universal holsters for lights or lasers just not in a paddle holster.. But hope you find one! If you do, let me know

Yes, you can attach the male side of the QLS to the holster, and the female side to the paddle. I have done this, but I didn't like it, because it rode too high when attached to the paddle. Imagine the bottom screw hole on the holster being at the top of your belt.

It is a great holster and the paddle holds the gun for any type of draw. I love it being left handed and not having to take my belt off to remove the holster. it fits over your belt and paddle is inside the pants to add greater stability. The holster works great with the small Ruger LCP.

Yes, the paddle attached to the holster will slip over a belt or a waist ban and fit tight in both cases.

There are much better holsters available to work in your handbag. The paddle would ad unnecessary bulk, unless you want to be able to simply pull it out of your bag and slip it in the waistline of your pants.

It should work no problem. I used this system to transfer my holster from a safariland paddle to by duty belt.

If it is a C.O.R.E. gun, yes. If not you will need to get a new slide that is designed to accept it.

If the class specifies a belt holster this paddle holster will not be acceptable. It can be used with a belt but will not be attached like a true belt holster. Best to contact the instructor of the class and verify if they will accept this holster. If you don't have an acceptable holster you may not be able to do the class at that time.

Neither. The paddle is designed to slide inside the waist band of your pants or shorts. You can use this holster with or without a belt because it will sanwhich the belt along with the pants or shorts. I bought one & it's a very comfortable fit. I like it better than the belt clips because it distributs the weight over a larger area.

neither. It is a paddle holster, the paddle goes inside the pants and over the belt. the holster part stays outside of both. It can be removed without undoing your belt or your pants. The paddle part is padded on the portion that is against the body. I wear one everyday usually all day long.

A belt is not used or required for this holder, it "clips" over the edge of your pants instead. The paddle goes on the inside of your pants and the holster is on the outside. The rubber on the outside of the paddle, the part that sits against your leg inside of your pants, helps it grip. From what I recall, if wearing a belt there is a recess on the paddle that helps the holster grip a little better and adds to the stability of the holster, but I have not had it slip around without a belt.
