Ninja Moose Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I also use the Safariland ALS for my Glock 34 because of the retention and ease of draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Blade tech WRS. It is just about like the DOH but it has a spring loaded thumb break retention strap. You can leave the strap forward and use like a regular DOH or have the extra retention if you need to go prone or run before you draw. Some of the others like the ALS and Serpa always require you to use the extra release. This...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I always used the $20 Uncle Mike's kydex for 3gun and Production. It rides somewhat high so it is out of the way and comfortable, and it's cheap:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast351 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I run the non-lock Blackhawk Serpa holster and the retention is plenty to go prone, and it's a fast holster. Depending on how aggressive you move and what kind of obstacle course you're running though, I can understand the draw to a holster that has more positive retention than just friction like the ALS holster.

EkuJustice Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Retention is more important than anything in 3 gun. Your draw speed isn't where your gonna win a match but a dropped gun is where you will loose one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just friction like the ALS? The ALS is not a friction/tension holster. It locks onto the ejection port using a block in the holster. No way the gun is coming out without you wanting it to.

larry weeks Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I have the DSG for my 6" 2011. I like it, only have one match and a couple of casual range sessions with it but it works fine, and, as someone said, covers the rear sight and doesn't have any levers or gears or gizmos to worry about. You do have to pull the gun like you mean it. I'm slow but I'm getting a shot on a popper at 9 yards in 1.65 to 1.9, with almost no practice. Don't know if it is on their site yet, I sent them an airsoft 2011 I've had another maker use as a "mold". It is a standard dust cover, not the long one. A heat gun can fix that. Only change I'd like is a back plate with ELS/TecLok holes. Going to have to make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I should have stated that better. For 3 gun, you will want a holster with more than just a friction lock. An example would be the ALS holster.

pigfish73 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 DSG ARMs 3 gun holster developed fot team noveske cant beat it. Covers complete sight track and very positive retention. built in drop and offset. Great stuff. Glad you like the holster. We'll be working on a different drop and offset to be compatible with ELS and TMMS clips in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 +1 on the blade tech. Use one on my G34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregSmith Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just started practicing with my ALS 6378. I'm amazed how fast it is with the thumb retention. Good pulls are no different than having no retention at all. You will love it. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I just got a Comptac International. It's basically the same as a DOH. I will be trying it at the next club match.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I got a Comp-Tac for speed, and a 511 thumb drive for retention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I bought an ALS because of the recommendations here but didn't like it. Most holsters I am used to have part of the front cut out, so adjusting to the ALS was difficult and eventually I gave up on it. It kind felt like I had to bring my gun upto my armpit just to clear the holster. Plus the ALS is very difficult to mount to the ELS belt system....it requires a lot of manipulation I am waiting for the bladetech WRS now....not sure if it will be any different, but hopefully it is more what I am used too. I was using a DOH, but got DQ'd from a match when it jumped out while running...I'm notoriously bad for not keeping an eye on set screws and since I shoot so many handgun matches, it didn't even occur to me it was coming loose. To compensate for my ignorance, I'll only be using a retention holster go forward. Edited July 11, 2013 by Onagoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd6x Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Blade Tech's are awesome...recommended by Gunsite and Front Sight, used by countless LEO and competitive shooters. They're perfect holsters...no frills, just right. 'Can't beat 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just got my bladetech thumb drive and I like it a lot better than the ALS. I had to drill a hole in order to attach the holster to the ELS male adaptor, but it wasn't difficult at all. Really like the thumb drive retention and ease of use.

charms Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I use a Gcode holster for my G35. It works well is fast and has adjustable tension. I have shot a lot of three gun stages and never had it work loose while running jumping etc.. +1 for GCode I use the G-Code as well. Great holster and good retention. I recently switched over from the XST (with bail) to the OSH (without bail) for a little better draw speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I just picked up a Ready Tactical 3 Gun Holster, broke it in this past weekend. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
