Paul Burtchell Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Any word if Blade Tech or Comp-Tac is coming out with a holster for this rascal in the near future.? Really don't like the idea of the protruding barrel using the current holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepickles Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm using a 4.5 holster right now. I too would like a dedicated holster that fully envelopes the muzzle. I've spoke to Bladetech twice, my feeling is the more calls they get the more likely we'll see a product. Right now, as far as I know, no one has a purpose-built 5.25 holster available.

The_Vigilante Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I just tried the holster I used for my XD9 Tactical and the XDm 5.25 9mm fits in there nicely. Not a 100% exact fit but close enough. It is a Blade-Tech BTW. The barrel doesn't protude using this holster!

KentG Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I called them as well with the same "we dont make one, yet" reply. I will wait since the end of the match season is rapidly coming in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGO Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I am using a Safariland 5198 and it is now available. Not sure if the website has been updated but the design is done and in production. I was using the same model for a XD tactical and the 4.5 XDm and both worked fine. SLide and Barrel protruded about .100 in on the 4.5.

ihatepickles Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Comp-Tac website is now selling dedicated 5.25 holsters. I ordered a belt holster for my 5.25. I took the DOH hanger off my Bladetech XDM 4.5 holster (with some muzzle protruding) so I could set it up for IDPA last week. When I put the DOH hanger back on so I can shoot my local USPSA this upcoming weekend, I realized I like the non-DOH setup better. Funny how stuff like that happens. The Comp-Tac setup should be great stuff, it'll be nice to have the proper protection for the frontsight on the 5.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriskexplorer Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Anyone use a Kytac holster? Thoughts? Looking at this instead of the Comp-Tac: http://www.tds-us.com/catalog.php?ref=tds&dt=92757&pd=2148364∨=3409558 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepickles Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My Comp-tac arrived today. I have the belt holster model with 1.5 loops for the 5.25. Construction is quality and the fit is perfect. The muzzle is fully protected and there's plenty of inside clearance for a full grip while still in the holster. I've run this on a CR Speed belt and on a Wilderness Tactical (think IDPA) and both feel great, I do recommend some sticky-back velcro to help the holster hold even tighter to a double belt setup (I do the same with my mag pouches). It's a very good holster. A few hundred more draws and I'll really be in the groove. Going to a belt holster (vs. a DOH style) has improved my draws by .2 seconds, I really hope every DOH user tries this at some point - I think it could really help some people find more time in their draw..

Robert King Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 While waiting for blade tech to release a holster, I am using my old faithful Houge holster. I have yet to find a gun that does not fit. The retention is fine for USPSA and most but not all Multi-Gun matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 On the 4.5 Blade-tech DOH I tried the 5.25 in, the slide/barrel only protuded about 1/4 inch, barley noticed. I know - should have stuck out .75 inch, but it didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejadoo Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 My Comp-Tac arrived yesterday - I have not had a chance to put it on the belt and give it a whirl just yet, but the fit & finish are great. You cannot beat the quality or customer service Comp-Tac provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
