Which works for you? I’m kind of torn. Tek-Mount seems better for me, but mostly because a few $$ cheaper. And seems a little more flexible.

Is one fundamentally better?

Trying to put multiple holsters on one belt.

What kind of holsters / what kind of belt?

I have two belts with Tek Mount receivers on them. Never had a problem. The adjustable cant is nice if, for whatever reason, you want to change it on the fly. My bro broke a fork on the QLS, but that was a long time ago and the one he's using now sees a lot of use and is fine.

Not sure it matters, but 1.75” molle belt and KT-Mech holster.

Having both in front of me, it was clear that the better system was tek-mount.

QLS is fine, but Safariland needs to either work on their snap fit or work on their tolerances….and about 10 degrees more rotation. I’m sure it is durable, but maybe a bit loose.

I’ve switched everything I have to Tek-Mount. No regrets.

This interests me. I'm still curious of all the benefits, more robust sure, but is it simplier? Lower profile? The one big benefit is that switching from the QLS, it's not a massive investement into the MT ecosystem; just the mounting platforms and and attached inserts. I do have a good dozen+ QLS holsters and mounting platforms though, so while they're cheaper it's not a small number. I also were prefer that if I swap, I do them all to avoid the mixing and matching. At least you can still use all of your curren mounts and holsters.

They do basically the same thing. QLS might be 1-3mm thinner. Tex-mount is stronger, tighter lock up. The rotation could be nice, but for my 1 mount, it will likely never be at another angle.

I don't switch holsters out enough to see a point in either systems, plus the additional offset seems like more of an annoyance than anything, I already have a hard mounted safariland clacking against everything.

I'm sure a professional trainer might benefit for moving the same holster around to different belts, but I can just as easily slide a UBL off the belt, since I offset the buckle a bit to avoid having anything blocking the holster.

YMMV, but I think the simpler, more robust solution is best for this application. I use a T-rex speed belt, which isn't the sturdiest of gun belts, but it's got a nice quick adjust feature, and the buckles are small enough to fit through a UBL or equivalent.

Yeah I loved the idea of QLS and wanted it to work, but hated the extra offset it gave the holster.
