billdozer Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 After my first fully sponsored trip to dairy queen today in kc, I'm looking into retention holsters. I've got a fldc edge style pistol w/a thumb rest. Is there any other option besides the Blade-Tech wrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billdozer Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Doesn't look like they make it for my pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Blade-Tech WRS or Safariland ALS are, I think, your only two choices. I have the WRS. Oddly enough, even though B-T says there is no functional difference, the WRS with the carbon fiber finish seems to be rather more rigid than the standard finish, and two other people I know hve found the same thing. The standard finish seems to want to torque when you press the release, making it inconsistent on the draw, whereas I have never had that issue with the carbn fiber. Safariland ALS is a great system if you don't want a hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkeg Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The ALS is the shiznitz. However, the thumb rest will severely restrict your choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 This is the Hogue "Carry Holster" with a retention system. Eric at Hogue set my up for my Production gun but they also have them for 1911/2011's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdozer Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 How do you release the tension device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I don't believe anything listed will work with the thumb rest. Look at what the open guys are using. That's probably your only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Your only option is an open race holster like a Racemaster with the thumb rest. I would say loose the rest and give yourself some more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdozer Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Talked to blade-tech today. They've custom made them based on the wrs. I'll know more in a week. Btw, if you guys haven't tried shooting with a thumb rest, I highly recommend it. Nitro fin makes one for 2011's with no mods to the gun, that is absolutely badass!
