Chutist Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Is the "Black ICE" just a DOH with a cut away on the front? http://shop.blade-tech.com/index.php?cPath=1_23_29#.Vl8Y5RyIaj4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hello: Yes it is and I don't like it. The standard DOH is a better setup. Better still is to fit the holster to a Safariland USPSA Kit. I did this for my limited gun setup and will be making the mount for my single stack holster setup next.

Chutist Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks Eric! I have a "regular" DOH on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If you are like me, you will hate the regular DOH setup. You can make it a lot better by adding a Ben Stoeger BOSS hanger. It fixes everything that is wrong the the BT DOH section and adds a lot more adjustability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not use a Safariland holster and it will be a bolt on. It adjusts in any direction. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slidestop Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I bought their "race" holster with the open front. I don't think I even put it on my belt. There was absolutely no retention on my Edge. I felt as though the gun would just fall out. I think that's why the picture of it is canted to the rear so much. It's basically just a cradle. I know that's not what you asked though. I was giving an opinion of an open front Blade Tech. I went with the regular DOH. The Boss unit will probably be in my future.

Chutist Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I saw the Safariland "Kit" but it was MORE THAN THE HOLSTER! I'll play with this one a bit and see how it goes... Who makes the Boss hanger? I'll take a look Edited December 4, 2015 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywizzle Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think the Boss hanger with a bladetech shell is the best setup for Production. I was using a bladetech with DOH and I wasn't able to get my thumb in position until I was out of the holster. The Boss really allows me to get a solid grip right away.

tha1000 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I didn't notice much difference between the Blade Tech ICE DOH I ran with my shadow and the regular Blade Tech OWB that I've run with other guns in the past. Looks different, but I didn't feel like it was faster, looser, less retention, etc.. The Stoeger Boss hanger is a game changer. I now run that with a Blade Tech shell for my pre B and will eventually pick up another hanger for my SS gun. Sweet product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hello: The Safariland USPSA Kit is $61 shipped. The Boss hanger is $50 plus shipping. Winner for me is the Safariland. Invictus make a nice hanger for the Blade Tech also and is the cheapest of them all. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I own a rig of some type with one of each, the BT DOH, Invictus and the BOSS. My favorite is the BOSS but my next one will be a Spinger for my 3Gun ELS belt setup. http://shop.springerprecision.com/product.sc?productId=321&categoryId=33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've seen it, it was $86: https://www.speedshooter.com/product_detail.cfm?id=SFR-USPSA-KIT&n=Safariland-USPSA-Holster-Kit After spending the day on the range with the DOH - I understand why it's the "DOH" - that's the sound you make when you slam you thumb into the mount on every draw... I like the holster itself but that mount has to go.... Edited December 6, 2015 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello: Optics planet sells the Safariland USPSA Kit on E-bay for $61.99 shipped. I just ordered another one for my Single Stack setup. Should be here next week. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike821504 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for the find Eric. I was just looking for a another setup since my limited gun just went down. Going to use a pistol I won at the High Desert Classic in production until I can get a 2011. Maybe I can convince Steve and Heidi to give me a good deal on one that you sold them.

Does that kit bolt right up to the BT holster? Just wondering if I'd need any other adaptors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello: You will have to make the adapters. I made one for my limited gun and will make one for my single stack as soon as the kit gets here. I like the support pad on these and the one on my other holster. I am using a 1/8" think plate of aluminum for the adapters. Easy project if you are a little handy. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric Understood, I'm having trouble finding time to reload and shoot... don't really want to add "project". Might just go with the BOSS since it bolts up. OR just get a Safariland Holster like I probably should have from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello: The Safariland holsters are a direct bolt on with the Kit even old Safariland holsters. Pick the one you think will work best for you and practice with it. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
