JohnnyD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm looking for a new holster for USPSA Production & IDPA SSP. I was browsing Amazon and I saw this Blade-Tech holster, is there any different between this and the Blade-Tech's I see for almost double the price? I'm wondering if it's like a closeout type deal. Amazon Link I have a $25 Amazon Card, my Credit Card Rewards and Amazon Prime so this would be free. Upgrading from a Blackhawk Serpa (don't want to mess with the lock in IDPA, have it temp disabled for USPSA) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The biggest difference I see between it and the other more expensive holsters is it doesn't have the dropped and offset hanger. If they make it for your pistol (I didn't see one for M&P) then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 It would be for the XD. I don't believe you can even use the offset and drop for IDPA. I really would like to keep the gun in the same spot even though the draw is different (in regards to moving the cover garment, having the gun several inches lower and farther out on the body would make things even different).

Craig N Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The Revolution line is the cheaper line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 The Revolution line is the cheaper line. Is it cheaper in the construction or the attachments it comes with? Looking online the actual holster part looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeJersey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The Revolution line is the cheaper line. Is it cheaper in the construction or the attachments it comes with? Looking online the actual holster part looks the same. The Revolution line is injection molded plastic, the standard Bladetech's are formed Kydex.

JohnnyD Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks FreeJersey, I might hold out then. I want to replace my whole current setup now that I'm getting more serious about the sports. I'm still using the free XD Gear Mag Holders and my thick leather carry belt. I might use my Amazon funds towards their competition belt, which I read is basically a rebranded CR Speed.

igolfat8 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) So what is a good OWB holster for Glock 35 in IDPA? Edited April 29, 2014 by igolfat8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robg2008 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I would check out the ghost holster. I know a lot of people who use and like it. Not sure about it being legal in IDP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davsco Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) for glock 34/35 - blade tech DOH with stingray belt attachment. remove the drop/offset piece for idpa, use it for uspsa. Edited April 29, 2014 by davsco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
als14 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't have any experience with their revolution stuff, but Ive been using Blade tech kydex for years and have been very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredr Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 huge difference in rigidity between the injection molded plastic and actual kydex. spend for the kydex product, you'll save money over buying the revolution only to eventually dump it and then have to buy kydex anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So what is a good OWB holster for Glock 35 in IDPA? Center of Mass (CoM) kydex. Hand made and lots of attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
