kevin c Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well, I'll be shooting this weekend's IDPA match with my LDA, since the only holster I have for my brand spanking new G35 is now illegal (an Uncle Mike's). What do you all use that is good and not too expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the duck of death Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Blade Tec??? But I'm not sure it's legal anymore. Way to go IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The $15 Blade-Tech might not be legal (too much offset), but the regular belt holster should be good. Yeah, they're normally $60, but I've got one you can have for $30 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 One word: Fobus. If you want a green RH paddle style, send me your address and it's yours. Muzzle will stick past he end a little but it will work until you can order something better. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Thought the fobus "roto-tilt" model was banned by IDPA. Is the regular Fobus still allowed? How about the paddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Fobus holsters and I don't get along for some reason. I have had two for other models that plain didn't work for me. I may be PM'ing you, Cullen... Kevin C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Thought the fobus "roto-tilt" model was banned by IDPA. Is the regular Fobus still allowed? How about the paddle? I sure haven't looked into the new IDPA rules much... But, I thought I saw where the new wording mentioned that the holster "couldn't be adjusted while being worn"? I think that would allow the Roto-Fobus back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The $15 Blade Tech does not have an offset like the UM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg5 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Any word on the sidearmor? Have a bit of money tied up in one of those. Who wants to bet that the Glock OEM holster won't work for IDPA. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaels Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Kevin, if you see me at Richmond next weekend, I'll have the new Hellwig holster for the G34/5 - you can try it out then...My better half just got her G34 a couple of days ago and I've got a G35 coming in 18 more days... mike sousa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must carry the firearm in a neutral (vertical) or muzzle rear cant, but have no adjustable cant backpieces." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TractorTed Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 One word:Fobus. Sorry Gary, that's two words, NOT Fobus. As I'm sure you know, the roto-holster has never been allowed, and the standard ones that I have don't make the rule about seeing daylight between the outside of the backpiece and the inside of the holster. (Section F, page 30 of the "LDB"-little dumb book.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 This just in....(insert teletype noise here) From Bill Wilson...Straight off the IDPA website, Adjustable backpieces. Those that allow the cant to be adjusted by the shooter while the holster is on the belt are not allowed. Those that are adjustable by removing bolts and repositioning the backpiece are allowed. This correction has been made to the rule book. The ¾" measurement referenced in the new holster rules is taken from the body to the portion of the weapon closest to the body.

robomanusa Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think all disciplines need to get rid of the measurement restrictions on equipment(they're too bias and discriminatory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 In a nutshell, if bill wilson does'nt sell it, it's illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmills Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I've been using the Blade-Tech Kydex holster for years. It has a superb fit and allows for a very fast presentation. It's moderately priced ($45-$55). It's interesting to note that Bill Wilson doesn't manufacture or sell this particular holster and yet it's still legal for IDPA.

smokshwn Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 rmills, You can see daylight in the belt tunnel all day long on my buddy's BT. Therefore it is not legal. Maybe someone should point out that if it is a kydex paddle type holster, there is no way to tell if it is legal until the owner tries it with their pants and their belt. Anyway my point that with the belt tunnel req. the holster problem has multiplied. The holster rules would be just as effective without the belt tunnel req but keep the 3/4 inch rule.

Flexmoney Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I use a KyTac Sooper Hooper. But, is it legal under the new rules? And, if so, is it legal for all shooters, or just for the ones it happens to fit properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lndshrk Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The rulebook specifies the Safariland 5183 Model, however, this model is now obsolete and does not offer a Glock 34 or 35 fit. However, it has been replaced by the Safariland 5186 and sells for just under $60, and is available for the Glock 34 or 35. Still not too happy about not being able to use my Sooper Hooper, really, no competative advantage is created by straping one of these onto my body.

br9999cs Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I also shoot the kytac super hooper and it sure better be legal because if they toss me from a match because of it I will just go and shoot uspa.. the super hooper holds the pistol VERY tight against my body, which depends on YOUR body type so the 3/4 inch thing is not a good messure of a holster.. you can see light through the belt tunnel, but some pad or velcro should fix that. the rules now say that mods are OK, so that should take care of it.. I also have blade tech paddle holsters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The rules specifically state that the mods (pads velcro etc.) cannot be used to simply take up space in the belt tunnel. The Super Hooper along with most other Kydex paddle holsters by design will become illegal unless the "light in the tunnel rule" is changed. As you stated the holster complies to the function portion of the eq. rule by keeping the gun tucked close. IMO why should the belt tunnel matter then. However IDPA is not seeing it that way. Hopefully that will change. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuietMan Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The Sooper Hooper is the same holster that David S. uses for Production and Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
