Deerhunter9790 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I have gone from the Bladetech WRS to the Safariland ALS to my current setup which is the NERD coffin holster. I love the NERD holster compared to the others. I never could get the ALS to perform how I wanted it to and the WRS was slow compared to the ALS and the NERD.

DNickel Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I run a Bladetech holster in 3 gun tactical. I shoot a 6 inch STI 2011. It works well for all the running around but you have to tighten the retention screw like PatriotMRD said. For Open 3 Gun I am currently running an Arredondo holster.

I wish they made the nerd in something other than black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well for all the running around but you have to tighten the retention screw like PatriotMRD said. For Open 3 Gun I am currently running an Arredondo holster. Had a guy do the exact opposite to "not slow down" his draw at a local match a year or two ago. He was on the rifle section of a stage a took off on a sprint to the next position. The handgun, loaded, came up and out and tumbled to the ground. I know at one point the barrel pointed directly back at me. I yelled "STOP!" and he looked back like "why?" I pointed down near my feet and gave the ULSC command. Told him that "faster draw just cost you the match". The 1/4 second slower draw will, most likely, never be the match killer but, a loaded handgun bouncing on the deck will end your match in about 1 second. It could have easily ended up far worse.

jon49erfan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 G-code XTS. Made to actually fit a 2011 and it works great. I was using a Safariland GLS but after hacking at it to fit, it still felt terrible in the holster. Downside of a one size fits most approach I guess.

MedicAJ Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Safariland ALS. Mostly for consistency with what I carry at work. Edited August 4, 2016 by MedicAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JatCarver Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Safariland GLS with a BOSS hanger = perfection IMO I personally would never go to a non retention holster for 3 gun, seems like every match someone is losing there gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick Yes, believe so. The long dust cover STI Edge frame in this video fits easily in the ALS. The ALS model number is listed in the video description. As detailed in other threads here on Enos, you stick the gun in the holster, briefly get the holster warm with a hairdryer or heat gun, then just wiggle the gun slightly side to side......that'll slightly loosen up the body and make the draw faster and more smooth. Then, based on what safety and mag release you are using, you may want to cut/dremel the safety guard down on the holster (it is there to block the safety since it is a duty holster) as well as clear some space for the mag release. Very simple and fast to do. I also recommend the Oregon Defense Nub Mod, as it makes accessing the ALS lever significantly easier and faster.

Xscream Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Surprised no one has suggested G-Code XST series. I have been running ALS holsters a long time, and while I like them, the retention release on the XST is straight down making the draw more natural. This assumes you want some form of active retention and not just friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaunk Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Safariland race holster mounted directly to their belt. I've got a 5 inch 2011 that it fits perfectly. The only problem I have is I keep fiddling with the retention screw when I don't have something to do with my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
