Quick answer

Mount the SAFARILAND CUBL Slotted Mid Ride Mount directly to your Tier 1 Concealed holster using the included screws, then adjust the cant angle to your preferred position before tightening fully.

Why the CUBL mount works with Tier 1 Concealed holsters

The SAFARILAND CUBL Slotted Mid Ride Mount is designed to integrate with Safariland UBL products and 3-hole patterns, making it compatible with many Tier 1 Concealed holsters that use standard mounting holes. Its cantable belt loop lets you choose the exact angle of your holster, which can improve concealment and draw speed.

A common trade-off: the slotted design gives you flexibility in cant adjustment but may require a bit more attention during installation to ensure the screws stay aligned. If you prefer a fixed cant, a non-slotted mount might be simpler, but the CUBL offers more customization for your carry style.

Step-by-step installation

  1. 1. Gather tools and inspect parts: You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and the CUBL mount with its screws. Check that the mount's slots align with the three-hole pattern on your Tier 1 Concealed holster. If using the QLS system, have that fork ready instead. Make sure the screws fit snugly but are not cross-threaded.
  2. 2. Position the mount on the holster: Place the CUBL mount against the holster's mounting holes with the slots facing outward. Decide your desired cant angle (forward or neutral) and rotate the mount slightly so the slots match the holes at that angle. Hand-tighten the screws to hold it in place. A common mistake is over-tightening before setting the cant, which makes adjustment difficult later.
  3. 3. Adjust cant and tighten fully: With the mount loosely attached, put the holster on your belt and test the draw. Adjust the cant by loosening the screws and rotating the mount slightly. Once the angle feels right, tighten the screws fully with the screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads. Check that the mount does not shift when you draw the holster.
  4. 4. Verify fit and function: Reholster your firearm and ensure the mount holds the holster securely without wobble. Test the draw again to confirm the cant feels natural. If using the QLS system, verify the fork locks into place correctly. If the holster rocks or the screws loosen, remove the mount and apply a small amount of thread locker (blue Loctite) to the screws.
