Which holster for Elite Limited?

[Red1Alpha]

I'd like to hear what the guys running Elite Limited's are running for holsters and mag pouches. Any pro's or con's with your rig you would to change would be great advice also.

I just (like, last night) shot my first match with my new Limited and holster for it. I'd been using a Match with a Blade-Tech holster (which I liked fine), but wanted to play with a thumb-rest which meant going with an true "race" holster for the Limited. I actually asked this question a few weeks ago. I ended up going with the DAA holster (magnetic). So far, I'm pretty pleased with it. Re-holstering takes a little more attention than the bladetech (where you basically just dropped it in any old way), but so far I like it a lot. I kept the same DAA Racer (not Race Master) pouches, which seem to do what mag pouches are supposed to do.

I'm using the Safariland 014. It's very fast, but it leaves a little too much of the trigger exposed for my liking.

DAA Race Master Holster and Race Master pouches. The only thing I've noticed is that you have to crank down on the adjustment screws to keep them tight.

I'm using the safariland 014. I haven't tried any other race holster, so I don't have any comparisons. I do feel like the safariland holds my elite limited securely. My biggest concern/distraction that would drive me crazy is the feeling that my pistol could easily fall out of the holster. The one drawback for the 014, is that it only adjusts down to a 5" barrel, so the limited elite does not fit down flush on the muzzle holder. You have to cut one of the side adjustment legs to get it to adjust down properly.

Bladetech on BOSS hanger and Ghost mag pouches. I find this setup as fast as any race holsters

[KAYZER]

Bladetech on a Boss Hanger here also. Im not gonna win on faster draws..

Downside is that i cannot run a Gass-pedal. Im going for a DAA racemaster magnetic somewhere in time.

+1 for race master magnetic. had the original non-mag for my sig x-6, just swapped the block and I was good to go. even comes with a little sticker to cover the old hole where the tension adjuster was!

I tried that DAA Racemaster Magnetic holster and hated it. It requires you to draw almost directly straight up for it to unlock correctly and will hang up if you don't.

Ghost pouches are great and I have heard that the ghost holster works well also.

I would agree with the above. I have the race master and have learned the hard way to draw perfectly straight up or risk it binding. I still run it as if you practice it will prove to be a very fast holster.

Double alpha for the win sir. I have yet to use any double alpha products that didnt perform up to par.

CR Speed works great for me.

I recently moved to the DAA Race Master holster (magnetic). I had to fiddle with the angle on it a bit to get it to work with my natural/ingrained draw angle. You have to draw it "straight up" relative to the holster. So if your draw stroke is not perfectly vertical, having the holster perfectly vertical can cause binding. So adjust it so that the holster is aligned to your draw stroke, and the binding doesn't happen.

Only complaints: Sometimes re-holstering takes a couple of passes at it. And you REALLY have to tighten the adjustment screws hard to avoid getting wobble/play in it.

[BeerBaron]

Yep. When new you'll have to check the screws every few draws. After a few uses it settles down and will stay tight after that.
