JusticeOfToren Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have 2 Stock 2s that were bought at different time. The manufacturing variances are big enough to cause one fit perfectly well in a BladeTech holster for Stock 2, but the other wiggles back and forth even when I tighten the screws all the way. It appears that one has a slightly taller/fatter slide, while the other is thinner/shorter. What would be a good temporary tweak for the holster to fit the thinner/shorter one? Let's say I am taking the thinner/shorter one to a match. I don't want the gun fall out of the holster while I bend down to pick up something on the ground. I also don't want the gun to clank in the holster loudly whenever I walk around. Has anyone tried inserting a rubber thingy while not shooting stages and removing it right before your turn? Will that be legal according to Rule Book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If you can't duck it... F*ck it... Maybe some duct tape stuck in there or something. Or some 3m sticky foam. When I got my bladetech holster, it was so tight, I could barely get the gun in and out so I don't have your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yes, the other Stock 2 I have fits very snugly into the same holster. I contribute this to the Tanfo's manufacturing variances in between different batches of the same model. Mine are 5 months apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's a "new" vs old design change. There is a thread on the differences. I have two and there is a diff, but I added thumb screws and just tighten or loosen to fit them as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess yours are not that different. In my case, the slide width and height are too different to be used in the same holster with the max range of screw adjustments. In fact, when I train with these 2, my hands grow callus at different spots. This just shows how different they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htomeheb Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm curious as to how big of a difference it actually is? Do you have calipers? How wide are the slides/frames? How tall from the top of the slide to the bottom of the dustcover? Is the slide too or just the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
