Xdm 5.25 holster

I'm looking for a decent holster for competition. Mainly USPSA & steel plates. I'm considering the Bladetech DOH, Comptac International, and DAA. What do you think is best? I haven't bought holsters for a while, my last was a Safariland 011! Can the DAA be used for IPDA? Paul

Assuming you are planning to shoot production I would go with the CompTac International. Then go to the Ben Stoeger pro shop and get the BOSS DOH and a couple thumb screws and you are good to go. If you don't already have a competition belt pick up a Double Alpha belt while you are at it.

You can use the belt attachment that comes with the CompTac for IDPA and the BOSS DOH for USPSA and steel.

I have the Comp Tac International on a Safariland ELS belt system. I use the QLS to attach the holster and the ELS for the pouches. I use an XDM for Bianchi and a Glock for USPSA, so it makes swapping holsters and pouches a breeze.

BladeTech DOH. Remove the DOH bracket for when you have absolutely no choice but to shoot an IDPA match.

And if you buy anything from cheaper than dirt you have a very short memory.

Thank you for a the replies. Having a dual purpose holster would be ideal. The XDM would not be used much since I prefer the 1911s, I got a great deal from a friend a couple years ago that I couldn't pass up. The trigger has been tough for me though. Hopefully with the PRP trigger arriving soon it will be better.

For a fast draw in USPSA/Steel Challenge I'd go with a kydex holster & BOSS hanger. The holster that comes with the XDM should be sufficient to play in IDPA until you decide it is worth purchasing a dedicated holster for that as well.

I've got a brand new Safariland model 5197. Never been used and I just sold my xdm 5.25.

I've also got the mid-ride universal belt loop I'd sell with it. The holster is $34 new and the belt loop is $20 + shipping.

How about both of them for $50 shipped to you?
