Important Note! Please read before assembly: Due to the unlimited possible combinations of different holsters, QD adaptors, MHA, or other belt hanger, exact instructions can not be given. Use good judgement and test your holster setup once completed, before duty or combat use. As is the case for all equipment that could be used in a life or death situation, it is paramount that end users verify the holster configuration before use. Only use the matching thread pitch screw for your holster, making sure to not cross thread by using the incorrect thread pitch. Do not force the screw if it does not want to freely thread into the holster or binding post. Use thread locker to secure the screws 18-20 inch-pounds, approximated by “hand tight plus a quarter turn”. Failure to use thread locker can result in screws backing out over time, especially after riding in aircraft. This can result in equipment failure, and all hardware should be checked frequently. True North Concepts is not responsible for any damages caused by equipment failure. Improperly setting up your equipment can lead to disaster. Black Bag: (Mounting screws for Blackhawk!

Basic Assembly: Note that you will likely need to place the threaded binging posts into the Universal Mount holes/slots to correspond with the mounting holes of the MHA prior to mounting to the holster. After doing so, hold the Universal Mount level and press your holster against the plate to trap the posts in place before turning it over. Held level and with the plate facing up, install the Universal Mount to your holster using the appropriate length hardware. Choose spacers to control how far away you would like the holster to sit from the MHA. Trial and error for the exact configuration you prefer will be necessary. Secure all screws with threadlocker one the ideal configuration has been selected. Please refer to our website for pictures. Thank you for choosing True North Concepts.
