No Unloading Required: The QDM Difference

February 13, 2026 3 min read

Hang Your Rifle With the Magazine Installed

Most wall mounts force a compromise: remove the magazine or don’t hang the firearm at all.

If you’re building a serious gun wall, staging a home-defense setup, or organizing rifles for quick access, you need a system designed to hold your firearm with the magazine still installed.

That’s exactly what our Quick Defense Mount (QDM) series was engineered to do.

Unlike generic hooks and cradles that rely on barrel contact or “one-size-fits-most” support, QDM models are built around the magazine geometry—so your firearm mounts cleanly, securely, and stays configured the way you actually run it.


Quick Defense Mount Models Available

Below are our current Quick Defense Mount options—built for specific platforms so you get a clean fit and stable retention without compromising your setup.

GEN-12 QDM (Quick Defense Mount)

Scorpion owners know the magazine profile makes generic mounts feel sketchy. This QDM is engineered specifically for the Evo 3.

  • Secure, magazine-installed hanging
  • Perfect for gun walls, range setups, and defensive organization

Why “Magazine Installed” Actually Matters

Most mounts are built for display. QDM mounts are built for configuration integrity.

When you remove the magazine every time you store your firearm, you create friction and extra handling—exactly what you don’t want in a serious setup.

  • Slower access
  • More handling than necessary
  • Extra wear from repeated insert/remove cycles
  • A less realistic ready-condition wall setup

QDM mounts eliminate that compromise: your firearm stays configured, your wall stays clean, and your setup stays intentional.


One System. Multiple Platforms.

One of the biggest advantages of the QDM lineup is that it’s not limited to a single rifle type.

Whether you run AR-15 platforms, SIG rifles, PCC builds like the MPX or Scorpion, or AR-style shotguns like the GEN-12—you can build a consistent, magazine-installed gun wall system across multiple firearms.


Build a Wall That Matches How You Run Your Gear

The Quick Defense Mount system wasn’t created for novelty. It was engineered for shooters who want functional storage, clean display, and true readiness.
