boudreux Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have been shooting USPSA for a while and i've decided to get into 3 gun at the end of this month. I currently have a blade tech belt high holster as well as the drop and offset attachment. I'm just wondering what is used most, a holster that is belt high or one that is dropped and offset? I'm shooting a Glock 35 if that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskino Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I see more dropped and offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Either works fine. It's personal preference, mostly. I think the offset helps fit shotgun caddies around the holster on the belt to some extent, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtielke Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I like the Blade-tech WRS. It gives you the option of using retention if you want or you can start with it off. It sits similar to the Blade-tech DOH so when I switch back between USPSA and 3-Gun there isn't much of a transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the additional security it provides when the stage requires multiple shooting positions and movement with the rifle or shotgun before deploying the pistol.

blairmckenzie1 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Shoot whatever attachment you like best. The most important thing to me was to be able to adjust the retention on my bladetech. The finger adjustable screws that ben stoeger sells worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Run a low drop safariland ALS here as it keeps the pistol away from the load 2 vest. If your gonna buy a holster, I would give the ALS a serious look. The holster locks every time and is thumb activated where it is just hit on the draw when getting the grip and is extremely easy to pickup it's that natural. The advantage is you will not have to worry about the pistol coming out when you don't want it to. You are seeing more and more people moving to a retention holster these days as a getting dislodged is the quicker way to end a match. The minimal if any extra draw time is more than made up in being able to move and not have to put the hand on the pistol when running. I went to one before they were cool after seeing to many pop out of the holsters of those why simply tightened it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlat32 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 G Code gets my vote, but ALS and WRS are great too. I like having a hood keeping the gun in the holster while moving "vigorously," as well as the straight down push of the G Code release mechanism.

thermobollocks Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use a high ride for my single stack gun when I shoot heavy, and the retention's cranked fairly high. For my Limited gun I have a Blade-Tech thumb drive, works great if you have a common enough gun (Glock&P, 1911) to save some cash over their other locking model. But, whatever you do, play around with some of the positions you'll be required to go with it, and be smart about slings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianATL Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 6378 als with an Eagle clone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Mine is a 6354DO with a glock 35. With my 6 in sti I had to go gcode as safariland didn't make one for it. I use the glock most of the time though. The 6378 is the base ALS and can have the other attachments added if one chooses. I got this one from a friend is why I have the 6354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that's cut lower than the ejection port isn't legal for production, if that's a concern. The speed rig, the way they cut it, it's basically a muzzle cap, so it can be a bit quicker to get out, especially if you do a scoop-style draw. For 3-gun in particular, I don't see too much value in blazing fast draw times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
