JJH Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Just curious if the Bladetech SRB from Henning will work for a new wonderfinish tac rail 40s&w? I plan on having SGH make me a leather holster for carry in the future, but don't want to be without gun for a couple weeks (he does not have a Witness form).

My elite match w/rail fit in my blade tech XDm 40 DOH holster with a few minor modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well, thats a step in the right direction. It seems most of the holsters available for the Winess are for pre-tac rail weapons. I really need something for use in IDPA but at least knowing one other option leaves me feeling a little better. I really don't want to buy a holster, try modifying it, and find out it has a sloppy fit. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongovb Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I dont think the BT DOH holster is approved for IPDA but it is for USPSA which is what I shoot. Ill try and post some pics this week and show you what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) The DOH is not IDPA legal, that I was aware of. I'm hoping if the DOH worked the Sting-ray may also with minor mods. Really hoping Henning's work, then its open the package, strap on and away we go! Edited May 12, 2010 by JJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Let us know if it works, I have the tac-rail 45, and have been looking for a holster for a couple months now. I really would like one in leather. bluestringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I have talked to SGH about having a leather holster made (he is local for me). He does not have a form so he would need to use my gun for the mold. I plan on having him do up a OWB snap holster this fall when I am too busy hunting to get out shooting because I will be without the gun for a couple weeks.

Tanfogliofan Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have a Witness Stock 2 and I use my old Bladetech holster for my CZ SP01 Shadow. Works just fine without mods. I don't think that there is that much difference in dimensions between the Witness with a rail and the SP01. If there is just take a heat gun to it and with a little massaging it will fit perfectly. The process takes about 5 minutes. I had a Bladetech holster for a 1911 without a rail and had to modify it for my full length dust cover plus rail (05 TRP Operator)and the thing turned out like it came from the factory. It was good enough to fool Bobby Mgee! Oh ya! the DOH can be converted to the carry model (IDPA approved)simply by taking to DOH middle part off. It's just a phillips screwdriver, six srews and ten minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Awesome! I'm certainly not afraid to massage a holster to make it work, but didn't want to end up witha POS when I was done. I've emailed Bladetech and called Henning and heard nothing back. That was monday and still waiting, so it's looking more and more like this is the road I will be traveling down. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Bobby at Freedom Gun Works checked with Blade Tech, and they do have the SRB and DOH for a full size Witness with rail. I have the Match 45 on order, and I'll be ordering the SRB for it. bluestringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary L Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Henning stocks the SRB for the Match with and without a rail. I bought one from him for my Match w/rail(no mods needed). He has it listed on his website. Hope this helps. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
