belus Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I use the same holster (SP-01 Blade Tech) but I stick a pre-B in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay870 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I run the BladeTech minus the DOH hanger, which I guess just makes it a BT StingRay. Thing that really turned me off about the PDR is the "overhang" of material along the bottom (rear as holstered) of the trigger guard. I like holster that allows the middle finger of the strong hand to ride up under the length of the trigger guard when holstered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 one guy here shoots with the DAA. it's a cool holster, but i found it bulky? one feature you can do is swing the butt of the gun outwards - the slide is still inside 2" keeping it legal. that, and infinite retention.

Spin Control Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 thanks. Ordered the Blade Tech DOH. I've been shooting a Wilson CQB in Single Stack and just got the Shadow. I love my 1911 but the Shadow is one sweet pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunshrink Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The new Double Alpha PDR holster. Great design, suede lining. I use the same thing and really like it but in the beginning found that my gun would stick coming out at the start of the stage. Someone suggested that I get some silcon spray which I did, worked into the leather and did again. Works great now through a complete season.

Jody Waring Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 In Canada, we shoot under IPSC rules, and I have the Bladetech which I used last season, a Ghost and CR Speed and I think I will be going back to the DOH. I am no faster with the race holsters, and the retention of the DOH removes any worry of the gun coming out inadvertently. Fit and quality is excellent, I would recommend it to anyone.

justaute Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This new holster from Blade-tech would be cool, except it's only legal for IPSC Production, not USPSA Production.

heckofagator Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Are you saying the Bladetech DOH is not USPSA production legal? Also, how big of a deal is the suede lining in the Double Alpha holster? I like the idea of something that doesn't mark up the finish on the firearm. I actually emailed Bladetech today to ask if anything "softer" was available for the DOH and I got a reply that no, it isn't, and in fact the regular material is very soft and won't do any damage to the gun what so ever.

justaute Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 No, no -- I apologize. I forgot to include the link to the new speed DOH holster from Bladetech. The regular/BlackIce Bladetech holsters are USPSA production legal, but not the new speed holster. http://www.blade-tech.com/Speed-Rig-D-OS-Holster-pr-1314.html Are you saying the Bladetech DOH is not USPSA production legal?

heckofagator Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for the clarification. When you said "new Bladetech" I didn't think you were talking about the DOH, but I just wanted to confirm as this is what (I think) I've decided on.

Regarding marking, I do have a holster wear mark on the front LH corner of the dust cover (referenced when looking at the rear of the slide) on my Shadow. Finish is worn down right to bare metal. Anyone else have the same issue using a Bladetech DOH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have the same issue using a Bladetech DOH? I do have wear marks on the lower corners of both sides of the dust cover, just above the rail. Pretty minor on my gun, though. Frankly, I don't know why people get so worked up over holster wear on any kind of hard-use gun, such as our competition rigs. I spent all of this money to run it hard and fast - in doing so, things are going to get worn, dirty, and so forth. Who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckofagator Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah, its probably not a huge deal, but if you had the choice of 2 holsters, fairly similar except the fact that one marked and one did not, which one would you chose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 they're not that similar. i prefer the BT DOH for simplicity. i've found the DAA to be bulkym don't like the hang, and don't care for the knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I have a Safariland suede lined holster and it will still wear the finish. I have a witness that has only been used in that and it looks like other guns that have only seen kydex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
