Raiden101 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for the info. My dad is looking at coming with me with his beretta, so I'll point him in that direction too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman00 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm new to competition shooting as well. I'm a lefty, so a decent hoslter was harder to come by. I finally got a cheapo Fobus combo, holster and mag pouch from Amazon. It was horrible, way to tight. I had to heat the kydex (plastic) and reform the holster with a propane torch (at the trigger area) to loosen the retention. But after these modifications, I'm quite pleased with it now. My two cents, stay away from Fobus - at least for a Glock anyway. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theautobahn Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Most gun shops have a "used holster bin". Dig through those and you might find something that will work for a while (usually cheap, too!). Or check the classified boards on the various forums - used holsters tend to sell for significantly less than what they go for new. Almost everyone has that drawer full of holsters that just didn't work for them and occasionally they get sold. And has also been suggested, there are lots of small, local kydex holster makers popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc5 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 BLADE-TECH !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrock Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Blade tec or comp tac are both great. I have a comp tac international for my glock 19 and I really like it but was a little pricey $80 + shipping. I have also been using a blade tech black ice doh for my glock 17 and I love it, plus i found it on sale at optics planet for $50 shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincerama Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Kydex is a type of plastic. It can be thermo-formed, meaning if you heat it up (in an oven, for example) it becomes like a floppy piece of toffee, which you can mold around your gun. When it cools, it retains that shape. It's durable and easy to mold, so it provides a really nice holster that is fit exactly to your gun model. However, it's still hard plastic so it can start wearing down the finish of your gun ... if you care about stuff like that! There are ones lined with non scratching materials. The Blade-tech DOH (Drop offset holster) are nice and fast holsters for USPSA. You might need to remove the "drop and offset" piece in some divisions though.

kitsapshooter Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The holster you need must cover the trigger, keeping the muzzle pointing within 3 feet of the shooters feet and provide enough retention to keep the firearm in the holster. a good basic holster will do you just fine.
