    Boss rig vs safriland uspsa rig

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    Yes this is what I was afraid of really makes it a tough decision the safari seems to be far more superior technically and for a open or limited rig later on a quick change so I'm on the fence I mite just go with the boss to make it simple now to adapt to my bladetech and like someone else suggested if I want to change post it on the classifieds. Thanks I appreciated your response very helpful!

    Hello: I think the USPSA kit is more adjustable. It uses a ball and a slide rail. You will have to make a plate to mount other types of holsters besides a Safariland's own holsters. I don't own a Boss but have seen quite a few of them here. You get more adjustment with the Safariland. You can turn your single stack rig into a dropped/offset holster for limited 10 by just loosening 3 screws. I am still playing with the Safariland rig right now for single stack. Thanks, Eric

    That looks very good I like it!

    Look at the pic in my avatar. That is my son's rig and it is still 1/4" away from being at the limit. He doesn't deal with the muffintop issue like I do and I wear the same hanger with the same 1/2" spacers and it feels like the gun is hanging way off my side. I know my draw got a bit faster and smoother once I started running a hanger.

    Makes perfect sense I think this made the most sense and gives valid points thanks a lot! For your non biased opinion! Have a great day!

    I've run Safariland in the past, it's good stuff. But after looking at how many people at the Nationals were running BladeTech, I decided to give that a try. The "DOH" was not bad, but my thumb hit the drop piece, so I added the "BOSS" hanger. I like it better than the DOH but I could run either...

    In the end, I don't think there's a clear "winner". I'd try the BladeTech and if you don't like it you could move it along in the classifieds here pretty easy. ;)

    Chutist that was a huge help definitely makes sense thanks for your help I do believe that going with the boss should be fine I really like the safariland but the lack of universal adapter plates to bladetech makes sense and I can see wear both of these are very close competition based on what I take from everyone and what I've researched the safari has a lot more adjustable functions and that's nice but lacks the ability to adapt to multiple holsters the boss is very universal and has good adjustment. I feel if I buy the safari I could end up needing a new holster or fabrication to use with my blade tech I do believe the safari is a better product but not nessary for me at this point in my shooting career as much as I want the safari it's just to risky to take a shot on to buy! Thanks to all who posted it's been a great help!

    Yes I'm sorry I was typing and doing other things so my question came off kinda awkward. But I'm trying to decide between safariland uspsa rig or the Boss rig that attaches to your holster to make the necessary adjustments to make comfortable and fast draws. Dr. Mitch hopefully that makes sense. Aircooled I kinda felt the same way so have you made a adapter plate for the uspsa rig? I was curious since I currently run a bladetech obviously it will bolt up to a boss rig but not a safari rig. Thanks
