D.Hayden Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I want to get a Kydex holster for my 5" Long Dust Cover SVI, and 1 or 2 single mag pouches. It's for the 5-Dogs 3Gun in February, Blade-tech timing would be iffy timing. Anyone have a recommendation for someone who keeps these in stock? Does any of the Uncle Mike's stuff fit long dust covers? Or if the Uncle Mikes mag pouches: 50362 : Single Mag Case for Dbl Column Metal or Polymer Mags will hold a normal STI 40 140mm magazine?

diehli Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'd say that Bladetech is your best bet for everything. Someone at a club match today had Bladetech mag pouches w/ the Teklok (however the hell you spell it). The fronts were cut down and the Teklok allows for positioning them at angles. My guess is the UM mag pouches will not hold the mags as most double column mags are built around 9mm length ammo and not the .45 ammo that STI mags are built around.

Guest Larry Cazes Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Dave, Reed's Shooting Range in Santa Clara carries the Bladetech teklok line in stock. Don't know if they have one for S_I but its worth a phone call to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thanks for the quick replies.. Blade-Tech's web site says 4 weeks, that's pushing the window a little, I do have one of thier gholsters for my 1911, and like it, so I checked there first. Comp-Tac looks good, I'll call them in the morning. I'll check Reeds too, but I think the long dust cover complicates things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Larry Cazes Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'll check Reeds too, but I think the long dust cover complicates things.. Yup. I suspect, though, that a little creative work to the holster with a dremel tool could fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Call Greg at Comp-Tac. You won't be disappointed. I have had nothing but great products and service from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good heat gun will loosen the kydex right up and mold it to you gun..just not too much or you'rr have a puddle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Regular oven on 250, or boiling water are also useable to form kydex. The problem is wide-area heating tends to make the whole thing into a shapeless holsterlike mess if you aren't careful. I'm also thinking the cheapy UM stuff isn't kydex and probably isn't formable with this method.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Uncle Mike's double pouches for Glock 9/40 mags will hold STI mags with a little loosening. I use one to carry my #4 and #5 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 I was looking at my UM 1911 holster, to see where it was catching, see what it would take.. definetly sounds do-able. Monster... Cool thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 BerKim, I have a KYtac - 1 for the long dustcover S_I's. It's like new - $45 shipped. [sORRY - ALREADY SNATCHED UP AND SOLD] Cy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonm1 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hey Berkim If you need a Bladeteck for an Edge fast, drop me a line. I can send you the one I have that I have used once for a USPSA match and you can send me a replacement if you order one or you can send me $50 and just keep it. Tactical Black finish, 1.75 inch loops (I think. It came with spacers for smaller belts. Will measure if interested.), straight cant, right hand. I ordered it straight from Bladetech about 3 months ago. Marvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I disassembled my Uncle Mike's mag pouches and put them back together using nuts and washers as spacers to make them big enough to fit my Para mags--they've been working just fine for several matches now. If push comes to shove, that might give you an option since you can locate the UM stuff about anywhere. Shred--I think UM is actually Kydex, but it's injection-molded rather than formed from sheets. I happen to think the UM holster for the 1911 (the one with belt loops, not the paddle) is actually a very good competition holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
