    New Safariland 015 Competition Holster

    All of them has something I don't like... The Safariland 014 had some wobble in the gun when holstered, and I don't like the muzzle support. Not able to get into some awkward positions that European matches love. The Everglades really jabbed me quite hard in the leg, but has a great holster body.

     

    The Alpha-X is my current holster, but with my new Venom guns they hang up unless I have a perfectly vertical draw. The hanger on the Alpha-X is pretty awesome though.

     

    Hopefully the 015 solves all the problems......

    What grip do your new guns use and what insert are you using on the Alpha x?

    Cheely E2 grip texture, which?

    I suspect the most popular is the aggressive mainly because of Phoenix Trinity making that grip style popular. I have used the regular texture and I like it. It’s definitely grippy enough in my opinion if you’re squeezing hard enough. It won’t rip up your hands. That being said, I have two open guns being built right now with the aggressive grip. Why? I feel it will be more grippy at those times where my grip is not the best/strongest. My wife chose the standard because she doesn’t want her hands ripped up.

    It would be nice to have a weighted mag for a starting mag that you can rack without dropping the mag, and a plastic mag to not ding up your magwell as much. I was told it is bad for a 2011 to thumb the hammer. I don’t know if that’s true or not.

    I can see using these as a starting mag to drop on the floor without worrying as much about the mag or your floor, and to add some weight to the gun to practice draws. Hopefully, especially with 2011, you will be able to rack the slide keeping the mag in because I find that it is a big waste of time to take the mag out, rack for the first shot, and reinsert the mag every time. There are dummy type rounds that attempt to allow this, however none that I have tried work with MBX mags in my 2011s. I feel they may be useful for reloads particularly if you are trying to reduce wear and tear on the magwell and your mags, but I also think it is useful to get used to the feel of using a real mag loaded all the way up to train yourself to the feel of really seating the mag in, and the weight, etc., This is especially true if you reload to 155 mags. These look like 140 length, so the weight probably still won’t be quite right if you start with 170 mags, and reload to 155s for example. Hopefully the weight is realistic for a 140 mm mag.
     

    I still think it’s interesting, though, and plan to buy at least 2 of these to try.

     

    I agree with more realistic versions of the mags, and hopefully revision two will include 140mm Glock, Sig, and CZ mags, and 170mm 2011 mags.

    Anyone here not a fan of the E2 grip - I've put 600-700 rounds on my  new Atlas in the last couple of days and my hands are raw..Think I must prefer grips with skaters tape..I love the size and fill of the E2 though..If I knew I could be skater type to fit it, I'd grind this thing done to smooth..

     

    Maybe try the original grip instead of the aggressive or extra aggressive. The original grip is not bad on the hands at all. Atlas can grind the points down if you want.
