LoganbillJ Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have been shooting open for just under a year now and have been looking for a little better holster for better draw speed. I do want good retention at the same time as well. I am currently running a cut Safariland 6004 SLS. Pistol is a Glock 22 with a Burris FF3 melted into the slide. I prefer to run a dropped platform due to my extremely long arms. I am about 5'11" Wingspan 6'5". Any insight or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Kahai808 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 have you tried the Safariland 014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Safariland only offers that for the 34 and 35. I have not tried it though. I have seen other guys run them but have never handled one personally. Do you think it could be modified to fit the length of the 22 slide?

Onagoth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I dont think it has to be....the G22 is shorter than the G35. I rountinely use all my holsters designed for a G34 with my G17...most lock by friction or retention at the trigger guard, so having a gun with a shorter barrel in a longer holster makes no difference EDIT: Sorry, just noticed you're looking for an open holster. My comments may not be applicable in that regard. Edited August 20, 2013 by Onagoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Racemaster. Lock the holster and its not coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamisonMcCollister Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 You could also look into Ghost international. They make nice open holsters for glocks. They are fully adjustable but are alittle expensive. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/353144/ghost-international-ghost-holster-glock-9mm-40-s-and-w-models-polymer-black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Does anyone have any measurements of the actual drop of the Ghost, Racemaster, and Racer? I read somewhere the racer had more drop but the rod could be purchased separately and swapped onto the Racemaster. Also is there much difference between the Racer and Racemaster other than material construction(plastic vs. Aluminum) and tension screw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagi Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Try Speedsec...Fast, secure and way cheaper than any other... IMHO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoked4AA Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I run a racemaster on my G17 open glock and its great!! +1 ON THAT SETUP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Manny Bragg USA Futuristic Magnetic holster is what I'm using for my Limited setup - I love it. 1/4" up out of my holster and the gun is free, and when locked it isn't coming out. Had a Racer (which I think is the same as the Racemaster in function) and did not like it - had to come straight up about an inch or it was a rough draw...felt like I had to be more strict coming out of it than with my BladeTech Production setups, and if that's an area I can leave sloppy so I can work on other things, I'd have it that way.

Noximus03 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 There's a bunch out there, none of them are cheap. 1- Manny Bragg 2- Ghost 3- DAA 4- Guga Ribas In that order. Haven't tried the Speedsec, or the Safariland so I can't comment or rank them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sousa Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I just picked up a Safariland 014 for my Glock 17. It fits perfectly. It adjusted perfectly for my Glock 17 with Jager comp. Edited September 26, 2013 by sousa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTex Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hope it's not too late. I had a question about the Manny Bragg holster. Would the magnetic roller system even work well with a glock? I was wondering what kind of tension it provides as the the only metal for the magnet to react with is the guide rod. Btw, I'm just now getting into open and have only ever used blade-tech.

There's no magnet for the Glock version of the Bragg holster...the muzzle is held to the holster with a piece that the frame rails set into. Works great - the gun is held secure when locked and when unlocked it isn't coming out unless you pull UP...and when it's time to draw, it's *maybe* 1/4" up and the gun is free and ready to present to the target...

WestTex Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks cpa. I was leaning towards the daa racer but may reevaluate my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Un4givin Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I would strongly look at the racemaster, I haven't used it for a Glock but it is amazing for my 2011. Plus the insets makes out easy to change platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
