So I did this same thing to Ghost "The One" Holster as well, to fit the SJC weight. The sides had to be cut down further, as that weight is bigger then the Toni one. I had to then also inlay the trench that the barrel rod lays in, so that it would clear the weight, and work. It isn't the greatest looking, (my dremel and I got squirelly,) but it works great. I will post some pics soon.

Love my DK Custom kit and it's production legal, well according to the old rules, I think now you can shoot a real open gun in production.
As long as you have an email saying its ok

I am debating what brand or if I even want to upgrade the trigger bar in my G35 Gen 4. I currently have a lightened lonewolf striker, TTI disconnect/spring kit, which I am much happier with then the ZE springs, they seem the crispest.
I am curious what peoples opinions are on a ZEV trigger vs Apex or if I should just stick with the stock bar and use the money for ammo.

is it a toni system mod'ed unit they sell on their website?
don't know who offer this holster, they're goin to sell quite some as they're the 1st one selling a speed holster to accomodate this increasingly popular set up.
very neat.i love what has been done to the ghost unit ; does it involve cutting in the material only or did they had to relocate some of the holster's internals ?
very cool
Yea it modifies the holster, you have to cut a significant portion of the plastic of the holster away to make it fit on there.

That looks good, I want to do it tonight, but have a match tomorrow, might be a job for the weekend.

Do you mean more like a front view? And yes, there is a shallow channel for the flat bar portion of the barrel guide set up. Will try to get a photo up tomorrow.
Yea, just a pic or two showing how deep that channel is would be perfect!

My photos should give you a pretty good idea how far to go.
since I am not a machinist and don't have access to the necessary equipment and tools, the Toni System weight and modified holster was the way to go. Since the holster retails for about $145 alone, my total cost about $200 for holster and modifications by a professional made sense.
No I like how yours looks! I would have considered going that way if I was aware of it. I plan on working out the kinks on the holster this weekend, I will post pics of the results. Could you possible post a pic of the holster without the gun in it? I am curious how far they cut down, It looks like there is still a small channel for the barrel guide.

Here is another picture after I took the barrel plug off. I will put it back on once I get it milled down and the gun sits more level.

I was able to get the holster to work just fine with about a 1/4 turn of the locking mechanism. It locks in solid, I was shaking my belt up and down hard and the gun didn't come out. When unlocked, I moved around into about every weird start position I could think of and had 0 retention issues. It sits in it a bit canted, but nothing milling the holster down about 1/4 inch won't fix.

That is weird.. I had called SJC a while back and they said they only did the Ultimate.That is what started me on modding mine.
Their site even says it.
The SJC Frame weight hangs down below the accessory rail of your pistol, causing inadequate clearance issues with some holsters. This in shop service disassembles your Ghost super ultimate holster (you must mail to us). fills much of the hollow void in the holster body with resin, reassembles and then machines the holster to allow clearance for the SJC frame weight. Shipping is added at check out. This will not work on the ghost the one holster
Yea it was my fault for not reading that before I sent it in. They refunded me the difference between the mod cost and the kydex holster. I think I can mill out a part of the holster where the weight sits to make it clear

Do you have a ghost ultimate? If so, it has a different locking mechanism than "The One" (a stainless ball vs a weird angled one that limits the angle that the gun can be drawn). SJC mods the ultimate only if I recall.
I have the Ghost "The one" and I just got it back in the mail today, so I am going to see what I can do or how far off it is when I get home tonight. The funny thing is that Michelle Viscusi just posted today on her instagram of her set up, and she confirmed she runs that holster, with the weight, so It can be done.

I never finished it. I cut an aluminum angle piece down to slide into the groove on the back side of the holster vs the front but never made it to my brothers to use his drill press to make the mounting holes.
I’ll try to finish it. It is literally drilling 2 holes and screwing it together at this point.
Mine is on its way back from SJC right now, along with one of their Kydex holsters so I can at least run my gun, but I was thinking that it would be as simple as milling down the metal body of the frame, to make the weight clear when the gun is holstered. very anxious to see what you have

The ghost ultimate is the one that SJC will mod. I'll be posting a a thread once I am done with modding my Ghost One. It probably won't be pretty but it should be functional.
Did you ever mod this? I ran into the same issue, and I have a hard time justifying spending more $$ on another race holster, and I would like to use this holster.
speed holser for glocks with frame weight-thumb rest ?
in Glock

The ghost "The one" holster, SJC won't modify that, you would have to do it at home, with a dremel and a file. the CR Speed holster is light sanding, it really just comes down to which holster you like the best. The other Ghost model is the one that SJC will modify.
