The one issue I have run into is with a full mag and a heavy gun, the holster can work its way loose on the pivot and the gun will move around a little. This has only happened a couple of times in the past few years and is the result of a full 170 mag and the pistol part of the stage was after a long with both other guns first. Are you running the Racemaster or Alpha-X? I had the same problem with the Racemaster. I had to Loctite and really snug it down and still never really liked it for anything but Steel Challenge and USPSA. The Alpha-X is, by far, more solid.

JAF1680 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I am running the Racemaster. I'll have to look into the Alpha-X for 3-Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC702 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Honestly, until you are close to winning and that's what you are going for, your pistol draw is one of the last edges you can get in Multigun. You have plenty of time to see what others are using in the meantime. You can draw from a confidently secure Production/SS-legal holster and it won't affect your standings until you are in matches with 300+ competitors. Until you get good at the rifle shooting and the shotgun reloading, anything related to your pistol gear is way down the list of improvements to make. I use the same SS-legal Bladetech kydex holster for all disciplines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 @Mac, i think that the key to a holster for 3gun is holster retention, not so much draw speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 get with Adam Weber at Weber Tactical he made 2 open holsters for me. I have a Tanfo and a 2011 both with optics and thumb rests and he made me some amazing pieces of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepunishur Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just had a guy get DQ from a gun falling out of a CR speed. I run a Safariland 014. When the lock is on, the gun ain't coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the CR Speed, it is a pain to lock/unlock during a stage run, sometimes this is incorrectly done or not at all. Bottom line is that the CR Speed is not a good holster for 3 Gun due to its locking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the RO asked if he wanted to lock the holster on the previous stage, and the shooter said he doesn't need to lock it. One stage later, he's complaining about being DQ'd.

Last weekend, I was trying to knock my gun out while standing on the hotel bed the night before the match, and it wouldn't budge. I reached down to unlock it when I put it away, and realized I was jumping and beating on the magwell with the lock off. I ran around for 3 days without issue. With that said, I was still nervous that it was going to come out, and cause me a DQ at my first Major... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCH Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 FWIW, I've been running a safariland 014 in both tac ops and Open, and have yet to have a gun fall out. I keep the holster locked until I need to draw; in most instances there is plenty of room to unlock it without slowing down the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balwolley Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Right now I'm using a crSpeed and shooting a tanfo open gun. It's fine for uspsa since I've never heard of a stage that requires you to run or move with the pistol being drawn, or the ability to have your hand on the gun while moving. As for 3 gun, I hate it. I do NOT trust the thing, I have had 2 instances where the gun "popped" out . Both times I felt it and was able to keep it on my but I had to stop and re insert and re lock the "retention" device. One time was just sitting down in a car it popped out and the other was a quick burst of movement. As others have said it's pretty easy to draw the gun even while locked. I will be getting a race master as soon as my new open gun is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
