So after getting a Blackhawk Omnivore holster and liking it for the versatility I knew I had to do something to replace the belt attachment options that they had because 1. the belt slide is weak and under built 2. I don't like the paddle style 3. I wasn't going to buy a whole bunch of Blackhawk disconnect kits since I have so much Safariland stuff.
Every single thread I read about this end the same way with everyone (like usual on the internet) ignoring the original question. How can I attach a Blackhawk Omnivore to standard Safariland belt attachment options?
After looking for a solution, and every single thread getting derailed with: 'just buy this thing instead' or 'drill out QLS plates' I found (read: I did not make, simply passing this along) someone who made a 3D printable solution, and after getting 2 made, they are working quite well. I made this thread to help out others who wanted to use the Omnivore couldn't find a way to attach it to Safariland equipment. This uses the standard Blackhawk screws to attach the adapter to the holster, and standard Safariland screws (male/female components), so no going to the hardware store to 'find something that works'. If anyone updates the files and refines it please let me know so I can have a few more made to try them out. Links/files/credit all below

If the link dies or does not work, IM me and I will email you the .STL / .SLDPRT files
There are 4 Safariland screw sizes and I had to use the one highlighted
I also had to remove the bottom numb from the adapater
