GrumpyOne Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Like the belt poll, just wanting to know what everyone uses and why. If you vote, please add your comments as to what you like/dislike about your current setup. Thanks! PS. If you have a holster you would like added to the poll, please ask! And, please, if you vote "Other", please leave some comments as to what "Other"! Thanks! Added "Null vote" for those of you who only shoot in one of the divisions listed.

John Kane Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I like the Ghost since I can switch back and forth between lim and open seamlessly and I don't have to look at it to holster which is nice for dry fire. It's secure when it's locked though you do have to get used to it and remember to lock it or you run the risk of dropping a gun. I had a CR speed but didn't like having to move the cup thing at the bottom and never got comfortable with putting it in the holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hello: I use a Ghost pin holster for Open and sometimes limited, Blade Tech old DOH for Limited sometimes, Comp-Tac for Limited and Production. I voted Ghost for Open and the one that came with the gun since you don't have Comp-Tac. I like the Ghost old style pin holster since it is very fast and secure. I have had some holsters in the past that were not so secure. I use the closed holsters for pistols that I have not drilled a hole in the trigger guard yet or when I need to lay on the ground alot(3gun).The Comp-Tac I use since it is the fastest holster I could find for Production and they have great customer service For your next poll I use Safariland 771 mag holders for USPSA and Comp-Tac for IDPA. For revolver I am still looking at which is best for me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Limited - Ghost. If I had a regular kydex DOH, I'd consider using that instead. I don't think it really matters that much. I do like the adjustability of the Ghost for limited, though. When I get an open gun, I'll use the same rig. I use a Comp-Tac belt holster in Production and sometimes IDPA. I use a Bladetech in Single Stack. I think the Comp-Tac is a little nicer, but it's not worth switching (I've had this holster for 5+ years).

Garrett Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I put "other" in Production, only because it wouldn't let me vote only in Open/Lim. I don't shoot Production. I use the CR with my Open gun, and an old Safariland 011 when I shoot Limited. If I happen to shoot a Glock (Open or Lim) I use a Hogue PowerSpeed. I had tried both the Limcat and pinned Ghost. Neither worked well with a steel-framed gun. Both would tend to "grab" if you didn't draw the gun just right. Neither seemed to have this problem if using a gun with a plastic trigger guard like an STI/SV or a Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmw5142 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use a Bladetech DOH holster for limited and Comp-tac belt or locking paddle for production and IDPA. I like both setups, but for pure speed, I prefer the bladetech because of the DOH attachment. I really love the quality and durability of comp-tac's products. If they made a dropped-offset holster, I would drop the Bladetech like a hot potato. I used to think it might benefit me to use the Comp-tac belt holster all the time for draw stroke consistency. As far as I can tell, if I practice with them both I switch back and forth seamlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I like the Ghost since I can switch back and forth between lim and open seamlessly and I don't have to look at it to holster which is nice for dry fire. It's secure when it's locked though you do have to get used to it and remember to lock it or you run the risk of dropping a gun. I used a Ghost in the past for my Open gun with good results but shifted to a DAA a couple of months ago specifically for this reason. The DAA is much more secure and I like the fact that I can just change inserts if I ever change brands. The Bladetech DOH is what I use for both Production and L-10. IMHO, it is far and away the best option out there for non Open guns. If I shot Limited, I would use it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks everyone! Keep it coming. I'm hoping this poll (and the other one about belts) will help out anyone who has questions about the belts or holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2osport Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use a Arredondo for limited. I like the different levels of retention, and the lock is rock solid. Bladetech for production. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvhendrix Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I currently use a Blade-Tec DOH for Limited, L-10, and Production. I use a early Blade-Tec for SS. Recently came into possession of a Speed-sec and haven't used it enough to try it in a match yet. Like the idea just have used the Blade-Tecs for years after moving away from Safariland. Tried the CR and like the Blade-Tecs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I like the CR speed for Limited because I use the back of the holster as a guide for my hand to scoop the pistol out of the holster. For production I use a Uncle Mikes kydex for my Glock, it has the option of dropping it a little and it's canted out some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 CR Speed, because I love the sound of an expensive pistol hitting the ground. Going to try the new DAA when I get the $ for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug S Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I switched to the Ghost since I can use the same holster and mag pouches for my STI 9, 38S and 40. Makes the wife happier that I don't have 3 different setups! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use a Blade-Tech Standard Belt Holster in both USPSA and IDPA because it's the same holster I carry in every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShot Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use a CR Speed. As a lefty, it was the only thing in stock at the time. One thing about it, I will never accidentally unlock it. In 2 1/2 years I have never "dropped" my open gun. I lock the holster at the end of a stage and don't unlock it until "Make Ready". Yes, you can draw through the lock, never needed too.

spanky Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Limited - ghost Production - ready tactical drop/offset The bladetech doh jammed my thumb or I had to change how I engaged the pistol in the holster. I modified it a bit but it still wasn't good. The ready tactical is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Safariland 010 for limited/lim 10. Bianchi Hemisphere for open. I'd like to replace this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninemmbill Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Another vote for the Bladetech DOH. For me it came down to being able to use one holster for Limited, or Multi gun. The one holster makes for a consistant draw no matter which I am shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use a Bladetech DOH, but only because Comp-Tac doesn't make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Bladetech DOH for production and limited. Singlestack is a std bladetech. Just have to worry about one draw when switching betwen the guns and just feel it is more secure than the open holsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
