Aircooled6racer Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hello: Well I have a model 66 coming for IDPA. Bought some bullets 158 RN and have the reloading stuff now. I do need to get a IDPA legal holster and speedloader holders. What brand is the best for IDPA? I was thinking of using the North Mountain holders with some cut down Comp III's. Holster I am not sure since I have heard some are not legal (thanks Greeg K). Let me know. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I would suggest cut down Jetloaders if you don't already have Comp III's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWEAR Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I am using the North Mountian speed loader holders and Jet loaders. I have a Comptac and a Bladetech holster and prefer the Comptac by a considerable margin. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Use JetLoaders. Get Ready Tactical holster and speedloader carriers from cpwsa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr7070 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The items most folks used were mentioned above. Holster: Comp-Tac Very nice holster. I have three for my differing guns. Speedloaders: Safariland Comp III or Jetloaders Seems the Jetloaders are considered a hair better, but they're typically a good deal more money. Midway puts Comp IIIs on sale commonly for $13. Holders: Ready Tactical or North Mountain Both seem to be well liked by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway puts Comp IIIs on sale commonly for $13. Indeed, the JetLoaders are more expensive. For me, it is worth it, but I know master-level SSR shooters using Comp IIIs, and I'm only a master level shooter in my dreams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBorland Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Power Custom sells Jetloaders now. And they look to be cheaper than CompIIIs from Midway. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hello: I appreciate the great info. I will buy some Jetloaders to try also. I have one Safariland Comp III that I turned down to "Bubberize" it and it seems to release alot easier. I don't have the M66 yet but hopefully in a month or so. As for holsters I have a bunch of Comp-Tacs for other pistols but may order one for the revolver to try. I don't like that they charge extra for the M66. I will also give Chris a call on the Ready Tactical stuff also. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichetucknee Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I used a model 19 for awhile with a Bladetech holster and comp III's. They worked well. No experience with Compac or Jetloaders though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicycle Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Fixing to be in the same boat as you. I got a 66-2 torn all apart and will likely go comp tac holster, running my n frame in one. And north mtn holders too for my clips, I will probably not stray for the speed loader holders. Cannot wait to shoot ssr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Gregg: I am not positive but I think they do make one for the K frame but you have to special order it. I know they make some for the L frames. I will phone tomorrow to see. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg K Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Eric Every major match that I see Gregg Garrett at I go rub my other brand of holster up against him and tell him that I could be wearing one of his except "YOU DON"T MAKE ONE". He said that he may start shooting some revolver so maybe his line would expand when he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hello: How well will the L frame holster work on the K frame? Can it be tightened down some to fit or does it rattle badly? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr7070 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hello: How well will the L frame holster work on the K frame? Can it be tightened down some to fit or does it rattle badly? Thanks, Eric I've never tried with my K-frame. I do not think they'd work as well as you'd want, especially if we're talking competition use. Their cylinders are different diameters, in addition to other differences, and a lot of the retention comes from the friction around the cylinder and its appropriately sized fit there. Maybe someone who's tried can confirm or deny my suspicions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric I doubt it would work at all. Bladetech and ReadyTactical make holsters for the K-frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicycle Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Good to know about the holster. Still waiting on the gun plumber to call and I can order parts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
