Multi-Holster Adapter for PhotonUpdated 8 days ago

The Multi-Holster Adapter is designed to increase the versatility of our Rapid Force product line by enabling holsters from other companies or our own holsters from different series to use Rapid Force carry methods using the Rapid Force Quick Disconnect System (QDS).  

Within our own series of holsters, the Multi-Holster Adapter is compatible with Photon, ShapeShift and Cloak Mod options with some special considerations. These options do not allow for a quick conversion back to the original configuration. Using the Multi-Holster Adapter does allow for quick changeovers to any Rapid Force carry method with QDS.

Photon Holsters can easily be adapted to Rapid Force carry types with the Multi-Holster Adapter using the existing Photon hardware. Optic options may require a specific ride height or cant. Much of this will depend on draw preference, gun size and optic size.

Photon will use the .25" screws and the square weld nuts.  If easier, you may take all 4 screws out of the Photon Shell and work with just half the shell to attach the Multi-Holster Adapter and then reassemble the shell halves.


It is helpful to not overtighten the screws until the cant and ride height are established.  When satisfied with the configuration, use a drop of medium retention threadlocker on the screws.

Most optics should work with the Multi-Holster Adapter excluding forward facing lens optics that do not fit in Photon holsters.  Most cants and ride heights should work but that is heavily dependent on firearm and draw preference.
