Open1215 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Ok. I know it has been discussed a few times here. I think I asked this before on a thread I can't find. Any way, please pardon any redundancy. I got my gun back recently and love how it shoots. i still need to get some chrono time in but for now i am thrilled with the gun. i need to purcase the following before i shoot any matches, HOLSTER, POUCHES, 1 or 2 170mm mags. and finally aftermarket followers/ springs for my existing 2 mags. (belt for set up) At the moment i am looking at the DAA tanfo holster with magnetic insert. I like the option to swap out incerts to fit different pistols if i choose to shoot a different gun/class i can keep the same holster. i had a CR speed for my open glock. i liked it but i think i would perfer something without the bottom hanger. SOOO... World wide web of shooting knowledge, what holster, pouches set up are you running and how do you like it???? thank you all for reading!

TennJeep1618 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I just purchased a complete DAA setup for my Tanfo Limited. Pro belt, Race Master pouches and Race Master magnetic holster. This is my first foray into any kind of race holster, so it is taking some getting used to. I will say that sometimes it feels like the gun is difficult to lock into the holster, but that may just be me not having the technique perfected. FWIW, I've only had the holster a couple weeks and I haven't been able to do much practice with it up to this point. I'm planning on doing lots of dry fire in the coming week, so hopefully I'll have a better feel for it in a few days.

With the DAA holster, make sure the bottom of the trigger guard is parallel with the bottom of the locking block. If its at an angle it wont' lock in. When I put my gun back in the holster I make sure its square and push just slightly to the rear as I push it down into the block and it locks in perfect every time. Also when you draw, make sure you don't pull towards your body at all or it will feel like its hanging up/dragging. Ok. I know it has been discussed a few times here.

The non-magnetic was a real hunk of poo, but they got it right with the magnetic block. Edited May 29, 2015 by Nealio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have a magnetic insert that I don't need anymore if anyone wants it. It's basically new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open1215 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 I can understand that. Lol worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I like the Safariland 014. I went with this because it's what I see most of the top open shooters using (unless they're sponsored by some other brand ) I figured there must be a reason for using that holster. I've been using it for over 2 years now and have had no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'm looking for a holster for my limited. Didn't like the DAA Magnetic insert and sold my Racemaster. You got any pics of your Safariland 014? Does it draw smoothly and you can come out of it at any angle or do you have to pull straight up like the DAA? Any mods you had to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 You do have to pull up, but only a fraction, maybe 1/8" (never actually measured it) and it releases. No mods. Don't have a picture of my current pistol, but here's one from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman711 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I've used a Guba Ribas for my open STI since they first came out years ago(holster came in a wooden box back then). Use CR Speed belt and mag pouches, never a problem with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 How does the guga hold up? Have you used it for pistols other then the sti? How secure is the "one for all" set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at CR Speed as well but I think it has to be adjusted some and I don't like messing with holsters like that. I want a plug and play holster, my bladetech works well but I like the open style holsters for my limited gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My fave for the tanfo is daa magnetic race master or manny Bragg supper dooper future holster. For pouches get racer over race master. Cheaper, lighter and I like them better. I have rigs with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevInk Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Really like my Manny holster, but hate the optional leg "pad". Other than having to use a toothbrush to clean of some plastic shaving I haven't had to adjust anything, and the picture shows how well it locks in there.
