Sixgun Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'm looking to gear up for production. In my research, alot of people said to stay away from Ky-Tac holsters, because of poor customer service. That leaves me with Comp-Tac, Cen-Dex, and BladeTech as the main leaders in holsters. I'm going to shoot a 5" XD. What would be your holster choice and why? I'm also leaning towards Comp-Tac's "Beltfeed" as a mag carrier. Also, did I miss another small but equally worthy manufacturer out? Thanks. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have a Blade-Tech for my 4" XD and it is very nice. Their customer service is second to none. I haven't shot production with it but as far as adjustability and fit and all it is very nice. If you get the Dropped Offset model, you get a little more drop and angle that, depending on you, may be more comfortable. They also make a TecLok attachment that replaces the belt loop and makes the holster IDPA legal if you are so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Uncle Mike's is also a perfectly fine holster. Don't let the price or its persecution by the Taliban fool you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I use a Blade-Tech DOH. Works great and is my favorite. You don't give up much at all to a race holster with the DOH - IMHO. I also have and sometimes use the Uncle Mikes for both Production and L 10 and it is a fine holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Ky-Tac does not have "poor" customer service. A few months ago, I ordered one and 2 mag pouches and had them in my hands w/in a week. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have a Cen-dex for my CZ and a UC for my 1911. I like the Cen-dex quite a bit, but I have no complains about the UC. Vlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Safariland 5182 is a good choice also. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm happy with my Uncle Mikes. I'm not noticably any slower out of that than I am out of my "race" holsters with my Lim or Open guns. (maybe that's why I can't get out of B-class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I have a Blade Tech holster for my 226 and Kytac mag pouches. I really like the Kytac mag pouches and think they are probably the best Ive tried. I like my Blade Tech holster and when/if it wears out, I might try the Kytac holster. Heard they are very fast and easy to use and you can get a good grip out of the holster. Ive read everything about Kytac's supposed poor customer service, but I can only speak for my dealings with them and they have been very good. I have gotten responses to my emails/questions and the products in a very timely mannner. I would not hesitate to buy their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 G-Code makes a great holster and mags for the XD. I like mine a lot. They even have OD green! To match your 5" XD. BTW, has anyone heard anything about if and when the XD Pro model or the Rob Leatham Custom models will be produced? Thanks. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I've been using Blade-Tech's dropped and offset for the last couple of years. It rocks. I used to use only Blade-Tech single mag pouches, but I bought Comp-Tac's Belt Feed pouch a few months ago. It rocks as much as the holster!

diehli Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I ordered both before X-Mas. The Beltfeed should be here soon (USPS SNAFU). It'll go well with the 3 Blade-tech Teklok pouches I have, the 5 new full-cap mags I have, and the rest of the Production equipment (gun included... Glock 34) that's coming or needs to be ordered. This is the ticket for Production, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still carry a pair of the BT mag carriers behind the beltfeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
