Multi-Holster Adapter for ShapeShiftUpdated 2 months ago

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. 

ShapeShift Shells are compatible with the Multi-Holster Adapter. To mount the Multi-Holster Adapter to the ShapeShift Shell, first slide the shell halves apart after removing the Twist Locks. From the inside of the shell and the Rotating Adapter.

The screws from the Rotating Adapter can be used to mount the Multi Holster Adapter. The hex nuts are a little more difficult to work with but can be used in conjunction with pliers. If the Paddle Holster or Core Carry Pack configurations were initially ordered, the square weld nuts work best.  Our thread pitch is 8/32 if alternate nuts are desired. If using different hardware altogether, ensure that the screw heads will sit in the recess of the screw holes of the shell and are not protruding as that will cause damage to the firearm.

The square weld nuts can work in any of the slots for ride height and cant adjustments.  Add medium retention thread locker to the screws once the adjustments are made.  Reassemble the Shift Shell halves and secure with the Twist Locks. 

If you have and use the legacy thumb release, it will have to be removed to utilize the Multi-holster adapter as it does not have enough space between the shell and the adapter to function.
