ATLDave Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've been shooting USPSA with a Tanfo Match for about 2 years and using a bladetech holster for it. I finally decided that a gun with a magwell (and a little extra weight and a non-POS adjustable sight) would be cool to have, so now I've got a Limited that I'm setting up. My old holster won't work, so I'm in the market for a new one. And I'm inclined to try out a thumb rest, too, since the gun already has those little holes drilled in the side, which means a more open/race-style holster. So, what's your thinking about the best holster for square-guard Tanfos? And what, if any, thumb rest do you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggMike Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you are shooting limited then the Manny Bragg holster is the way to go. As for thumbrest, that will be subjective to the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennJeep1618 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm using a DAA (standard) adjustable thumb rest and a DAA Race Master holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLDave Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 TennJeep, did you get the magnetic or traditional locking blocks? BTW, the matching grip panels and holster look... fast. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLDave Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 BiggMike, The drop-down menu lists Tanfoglio Stock, but not the square trigger-guard models. Does that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have both the manny and the DAA rxce master (had both magnetic and non). DAA looks cleaner but for function I'd rate the manny just in front. Yes it fits the square trigger guard tanfos fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYZER Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 BeerBaron, I'm inclined to know what your idea of the function is regarding the DAA. I'm in the same baot and leaning towards a magnetic DAA, lot of people run them here and i have not heard any beefs about them (the old style i did however) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They are quite different in how they work. The DAA is a simple hook on a sliding wedge that as it slides down the hook protrudes into the trigger guard to secure the pistol against the block on the other side of the trigger guard. The manny has a ball which is spring assisted. It also has 2 magnets in rollers that keep the bottom of the dust cover against the holster the rollers help a smooth draw too (though they can leave light marks on the frame). The spring assist of the ball also makes the draw feel a bit lighter/smoother. The locking lever when locked barely sticks out so no chance of snagging it on something. But if you want to draw with the lock it can be left at the 90 degree position. The new DAA magnetic inserts seem to have improved the fit against tanfo trigger guards so they are nice now too (I have both old a new inserts). Looks wise DAA wins. Functionally I rate the manny better. I find I use the manny most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If you want to use 1 rig with multiple pistols the DAA has a clear advantage. They also have a cool quick release now to detach the holster for travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYZER Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Tanks BB! I looked into the manny, but i does not seems locally available here in Cont Europe and the DAA I can pick -up locally. Ill ask Saul when I see him on a Dutch match. maybe he can give me a sample loaner to see if my Tanfo retains solid and releases smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Actually the manny holster is made in Europe and distributed in the us by manny. I believe the company that makes it is SLB. You might be able to find it in Europe under that name. I think the guy is in Sweden perhaps? But the DAA is an excellent holster too. The current gen inserts fit the tanfoglio trigger guard nicely. Either is a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sousa Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm running a Gogun *thumb rest [generic]* and a Safari land 014 have been real happy with the set up Do you have any pics of the gun in the 014? I use the same holster, and while the gun fits, it seems "loose". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecw Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is the DAA thumb rest the best one out there for the Limited? Does anyone have pics of the alternatives. I have a GoGun *thumb rest [generic]* that I picked up at a match, but it looks too big for my gun (Stock III in .40). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I like the IPSC alex thumb rest. The one tanfoglio sell is quite good too. There's pics on each on their respective web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Anyone tried the new racer (not race master) with the magnetic lock? Want a limited holster that can use a thumb rest but also do 3 gun, any race style superior to others for 3 gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomFoglio Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Manny Brag holster is really nice, just got one. He sent me one to "try it, if you like it, buy it", and there's no way I could send it back. I was hooked. It's really nice and just plain works. Holds onto my Limited frame very well.

TomFoglio Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It has 2 roller magnets that hold the dust cover pretty strong. They work. It's an expensive holster but I saw why once I had it. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
