randy01 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I want a holster for my PC625. But becouse it has a dot mounted on it the only solution is a speedholster. I dont like the design of the safariland, doesn't seem very well secured. The two remaing are the CR speed and the limcat wich one would be best. Easy to use and secure locking.

Loves2Shoot Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 CR Speed covers the end of the gun, I like that, so it gets my vote. It fits every pistol I own also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedale Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Randy01, I have a CR speed and am not "in love" with it. It works ok and I may just not have the adjustments perfect. I didn't like it enough to spend time "fiddling" with it. It's hanging on a peg in the basement. I use a two Garcia rigs for my revolvers and very happy with them. I use it for my PC 625 for USPSA and my PC627 w/C More for ICORE/steel/whatever. It locks up tight and if I forget to unlock it, I can unlock smoothly during the draw. I use one for my S&W Mod 10 PPC gun and it locks up tight. My 2 cents, Good luck, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10mmdave Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Don't forget the extreme hoster from Shooting Acadamy (sp) Garcia's place. Speed shooters has 'em. Less money than the Lim or CR speed and if you like a no-barrel holding holster it will fit all the revo's you have (at least the 10-12 I have fit it, K frames to N frames) http://www.frankgarciausa.com/images/xholster2.jpg Just checked speedshooter.com, not listed anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 My vote goes for Limcat. Absolutely love Johnny's products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I believe Brownells stocks the Universal Shooting Academy (Garcia) holster. Have not tried it--just recently went from an old brown Safariland 002 to a new CR Speed. Only shot one match, not sure I have it optimally adjusted yet, but it seemed to work pretty well. If you get the CR Speed, don't get the "long" model if you want it to work with a 5" gun. Even though the description says it will fit, it will not--I had to perform major surgery on the gun with hacksaw and dremel tool to shorten the adaptor so the muzzle cup would engage the end of the gun like it's supposed to. Brownells needs to change their catalog description. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10mmdave Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I believe Brownells stocks the Universal Shooting Academy (Garcia) holster. Just checked Brownells, they carry the older "Pro Series" holster (which is a good holster also) http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/Pro...il.aspx?p=15481 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I have no experience with Limcat. But my experiences with CR are great! Plus like the Top 3 in every divison in the world use CR Can't go wrong with it. Secure and FAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 If you used a CR holster in USPSA would that be legal for just open class, or revolver class as well? Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus like the Top 3 in every divison in the world use CR Can't go wrong with it. Secure and FAST! Just like eveybody should use Jerry M's grips 'cause he's the fastest But seriously folks, use what your comfortable with. If your fairly new to the competition game a trigger guard only holster may not be for you. If you forget to lock a Garcia Extreme/LimCat and your walking around/sitting/ doing whatever that revo is going down. Same thing could happen with a muzzle cup type but less likely IMO. And what Airdale said....so many adjustments....so little gray matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 BTW-the Garcia Extreme lock up is excellent. I holstered up to go to the pasture for some steel and #10 can practice. (I can't remember what chapter that is in the Benos book). I had my 627 w/Cmore locked in. I chased the barn cat out of the garage, went to the barn, fed la cat, fed and watered the old horse. No worries on the revo-good tight lockup. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8shooter Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Limcat .... that way I have the same for Auto and Revo. Just remember to take the right one to the right match. Yes speaking from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy01 Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Does a CR speed work fine with a 5" barrel with full underlug or do you have to modify the holster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Randy, The only difference between the CR for Autos and the CR for Wheelguns is: There is a spacer between the cups of about an Inch to make up for the height difference, CR has this spacer available and you have to tell them if you are going to use a 4" gun or not as the spacer for the 4" gun is not as long. I found that out the hard way and got the 5" and then had to take the Handy dandy Dremmell tool to it to make the 4" 610 fit. It works PERFECT with the underlug barrel or a non underlug !!!! Just make sure you are getting the REVOLVER model (that includes that afore mentioned spacer) Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.carden Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Randy, Great advice from HOP!! Get both spacers. This will allow you to convert-to-any barrel length. When I bought mine 3 years ago CR didn't ask, I didn't say which I needed, so they sent me the short version. I then re-ordered for the long barrel. I now have both. Extremely versatile. I haven't tried others so I don't have an advice on them. Im OK with CR. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy01 Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Is it possible to convert a revolver model to a auto model. With other spacers at the trigarguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
