Description
A Drop Leg Rig That Arrives Ready To Wear
Our QLS-compatible holster comes fitted with the Safariland QLS fork and ships mounted on a Safariland tactical leg shroud. The shroud rides on a paddle, and the QLS receiver is included — so the holster locks in, comes off in seconds and moves to any other QLS platform you own without tools.

Don’t See Your Firearm? We’ll Build For It
We can build this holster for almost any pistol — we just need the firearm itself. Same lead time as any other holster; the clock starts when your firearm reaches our Charlotte shop rather than the day you order. That is why lead times are quoted as a range.
Made For Guns With Or Without Tactical Lights
Running a weapon light is optional on this rig. Choose your light when you order and the holster is molded around the gun and light as a pair, so the fit is correct for the combination. Carrying bare? Select no light and it is molded to the pistol alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly comes in the box?
The Watchdog Tactical holster with the Safariland QLS fork already fitted, the Safariland tactical leg shroud, the paddle it mounts on, and the QLS receiver. It is a complete rig — nothing else to buy to wear it.
How does the paddle mount work?
The shroud rides on a paddle that slips over your belt and pants, so the whole rig goes on and comes off without threading a belt. The QLS receiver sits on the shroud and the holster fork locks into it.
Can I move the holster to another platform?
Yes — that is the point of QLS. The fork on the holster drops into any Safariland QLS receiver: a belt plate, another shroud or a carrier. The swap takes seconds and no tools.
Does it work with a weapon light?
Yes. This holster is made for guns with or without tactical lights. Choose your light from the list when you order and the holster is molded around the gun and light together; choose no light and it is molded to the bare pistol.
Do you make this for my gun if it is not in the list?
Yes. The dropdown shows firearms we already have molds for, which build immediately. For anything else we make a mold — we just need the firearm in hand. Lead time is the same; it starts when your firearm arrives. Request a custom build.
Will it fit a red dot or suppressor-height sights?
Yes. Optic cut, suppressor-height sight clearance and threaded barrel are all selectable options when you order.
Is the draw too tight or too loose?
Retention is adjustable. Tighten or loosen the retention screw until the draw feels right.
How long does it take to make?
Every holster is made to order in Charlotte. Lead times are quoted as a range — call the shop at (980) 224-9835 for current build times.
