I don't know of a single Chaos from shooters around me that didn't have problems. Significant ones too.
Pass.

Have had the tep 100 for a few years and were great, now I get about 45 min to an hour out of 1 of them and its shuts down. Ended up buying a set of walkers non BT and they work ok just prefer the charger on the Tep 100.
Yup. I get these for ~$200 on eBay, so I figure getting 4 seasons out of them ($50/season) seems very reasonable given how well they work. My current TEP-200 work very well and I don't see any issues for a while to come yet.

Peltor TEP-100 or TEP-200. The latter has some wireless audio transmission capabilities, but not very useful for competitive shooters (requires some neck loop to be worn).
I have use these for years now. Battery lasts all day for at least 4 years before the built-in batteries deteriorate. With skull screw tips in, I find them working well enough stand-alone with an open gun outdoors.
I have several pairs of passive custom molded plugs, and found that within 2 years or so they don't fit as well as they once did. Guess I'm still growing at 30? These are even the soft silicone ones, rather than hard plastic moulded ones.

Don't waste your time with Red Hill Tactical holsters. Far better options (already mentioned in this thread) out there.

Buy a large and cheap golf umbrella. Grab a PVC tube that will fit the handle of said umbrella. Drill a hole through the pipe, put a bolt through and secure with a nut. Zip tie on to the range cart. Put umbrella in as needed.

3M Peltor TEP-100 or TEP-200. Love the charging case that takes AA batteries or USB. Their skull screw tips work well enough for me to use alone outdoors with open guns. Battery lasts all day at a match.

Don't have the muzzle support. Don't see the need for it either since I'm still very happy with the way this holster functions. I only shoot USPSA/IPSC if that matters.

Excellent news!
Let's hope it gets sorted out and made official soon.

I would have to think Atlas consulted some officials before they put this pistol out there for IPSC Standard.

Our BUL SAS RADICAL 5.4/5.7 was approved for IPSC few weeks ago.
Attached you can find the conclusion of the meeting regarding the RADICAL of what is the reason for the approval.
Please let me know if you need anything else

that what i found.
Do you take the word of a firearms manufacturer, or the word of the organization that guns and governs the sport?
I may be wrong - it's a idiotic rule that needs to be changed - but I personally wouldn't buy or use such a gun at any IPSC match that matters until official announcement is made from IPSC. All official evidence and sources currently point to sight blocked guns being illegal for Standard division.

from 1. 1 .2020 it's legal. from this reason i own one.
I wouldn't risk it. From the IPSC website (Rules -> FAQs)
Standard Division
1. Standard Division prohibits compensators. If I have an attachment extending forward of the barrel & slide of my gun, but there are no holes in the attachment other the hole in the barrel from which the bullet exits, is this legal?
No. A weight attached to the end of the muzzle is still deemed to be a compensator, even if it does not have holes.
-
Just a reminder for anyone that cares (might be very few on here) - sight block guns are NOT legal for IPSC Standard division even if it fits in the box. Sight tracker barrels are good to go.

I love the SVI grip with their own mag release shape. Fantastic as it allows me to reach the mag release without needing an extended paddle which always gets in the way for me.

Suspenders are objectionable? I could see them with some political or unethical message, but otherwise I think I'd take it up with a RO at a match.
Pretty sure it was a joke.

Almost 15,000 rounds now and not a single issue with my 015. SVI metal grip + Cheely XWF built by Venom Customs. I have a pair of guns (one match, one practice) and both work 100%. No desire for a muzzle support either.
Sold my Alpha-X. Don't see a need for another holster.
-
I’m suffering from hearing loss from watching match videos with my headphones, where the gun shot noises aren’t being attenuated quickly enough.
-
Peltor TEP-100 or 200 for me. Been using them for years. All day battery life (though my first pair started only holding about 5 hours of charge about 4 years in). With the skull screw tips they are good enough to shoot and RO open guns. Not so much indoors though.
-
Not having a muzzle support is the reason I like this holster. Less hanging material means I can move better. Wouldn't be interested in the platform myself, much like the alpha-x holster platform being superfluous to me.

I was just curious on the locked versus unlocked draw. From reading the thread I wasn't sure if you were required to keep it locked and unlock it on the draw stroke or if you could use it unlocked like other race holsters
I haven't found a need to lock it in all the times I've been using it. And that's with some weird IPSC start positions

Any new negative feedback at all other than dropping the gun out in dry fire once?
A minor one - it makes a squeaking noise when I walk around on the range. All screws / bolts are tight, so I don't know where it's coming from.
I now have 6 matches, ~90 hours of live fire and 7 weeks of daily dryfire with it. It truly is my favourite holster and I can't think of anything I'd like to change. And from my previous write up, you know I'm picky!
It doesn't dig into my leg, it still has the best release I've felt, and I don't feel the need for increased adjustment options. I know people here have had issues with the hanger, but I don't. I have a 014 holster here too, so I could put that hanger on - but don't see the need.

Has anyone done a video review other than the one posted from shot show?
What do you want to know that hasn't been covered by this thread?

Ordered a few for my club and some friends. Excited for the timers to come in.
I wish there was a pocket clip option. I really like the Pocket Pros for that. Clip into a pocket and just go. The Shooters Toolbox belt clip seems to be more of a permanent (I hate having to deal with screws) solution. Anyone with a 3D printer willing to make some brackets that can go around the AMG timers with skin on and also have a clip?

Is it digging in the leg at all? Especially when comparing to Alpha X holster?
After a few matches now.... nope. No issues with digging into the leg with the thighpad on!

The only thing down my barrels are bullets.

I simply couldn't be happier with my guns that Don built. I supplied parts to him that I preferred, and he also let me know what he has experience working with and likes. His communication, even with me being in Canada, was fantastic. I didn't mind one bit that he prefers facebook messenger (I do too) - my pair of guns were built with just one phone conversation. Everything else was done via messages. This means that I can send him a note when it was convenient for me, and Don can reply when he had time between building guns, or whatever else he might have going on in his life. Most of the time, it was a pretty damn quick response from the man.
His wait time is still far less than many other builders, and the end product is very comparable to the top tier names we have building custom 2011s in this sport. I came from a FGW gun, and Don's work is absolutely a notch above. I had dreams of having SVIs built before... and now I don't. I've used and competed with Atlas guns as well, and I find Don's work to be superior to AGW guns too.
A pair of open guns, 6000 rounds through the practice gun, and 800 through the match gun now. The fact that I was comfortable with using the match gun after 400 rounds of practice is a testament to how much I can trust Don's work.
I haven't posted videos on YouTube recently, but check out just how my Venom Custom guns work from my Instagram:
It doesn't dig into my leg, it still has the best release I've felt, and I don't feel the need for increased adjustment options. I know people here have had issues with the hanger, but I don't. I have a 014 holster here too, so I could put that hanger on - but don't see the need.

My builds from Don sure can run fast... even with our silly Canadian 10 round mag capacity.
