sandflea316 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have two doh holsters (bladetech and cr wsm2) that tends to have the pistol cant inwards when pistol is holstered. Is this normal for doh? I also ordered a boss holster which should be here any day as well. Hoping it doesn't do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Mine doesn't. Straight up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Normal to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The blade tech doh really point toward the leg. I'm not a fan of that. The boss will be straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The BOSS will be straighter. How much straighter depends on the stiffness of your belt. I bought a BladeTech Competition One DOH and said WTF when I got it. I immediately ordered a BOSS kit. On a DAA belt (not the new one) it was almost straight down. It did cant inward at the muzzle a little, because I was using a heavy gun at the time. However, it was not enough to point at any part of my body.

davsco Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 i heated two of my DOH pieces and removed the "angle" out of them, went pretty well. i recently contacted blade-tech and they said they're actually working on making some non-angled DOH pieces for us competition shooters.

sandflea316 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well got the boss hanger in. Ran the set up with a tek lok mount. With a loaded pistol (SVI 2011) it still cants in, though not as bad as the other two setup. Belt is a cr speed thats about 2 years old. Not a total loss, was able to use the existing screw mount on the hanger to rig something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 If you want it more straight just put a plastic spacer or washer on the lower screw between the two pieces on either the Tek lok or hanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsand Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yeah put a washer (I used rubber) on the lower Y mount screw. It will kick it out. I had to put one on my comptac drop and offset bracket. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I understand the BT DOH was designed with the ladies in mind. Without the right curves I have found it points in unless you shim it. The Springer Precision/Red Hill Tactical drop offset or boss mounts are the very good upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 You will also get less flex if you lose the Teklock and use the hardware that came with the BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I did a combo of heating/bending the DOH hanger & adding rubber grommets to kick the muzzle out. Worked OK, but prefer the aandabooks alum. hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the Teklock. My boss hands dead vertical with a heavy 45oz all-steel Tanfoglio in it. All of these style of hangers need be bolted to your belt and clamped down hard.

ShortBus Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 If your CR speed belt is anything like mine it's a joke.. I have a DAA pro and shooters connection and both are twice as stiff. Never had a problem with a heavy tanfo and a BOSS. I never could understand how people could run those DOS holsters that point straight into your leg.

May also look into another belt as well. Going to run a match Sunday with current config and see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it doesn't do the same what happens with blade tec is they do cant inward. i have 4 load out rigs for work. all mount a b/t on his doh thingy. take a heat gun. not a hair drier and heat it bend it with 2 pr vice grips S-L-O-W-L-Y --- G-E-N-T-L-Y untill if hits the 90 deg angle or what u want. i use this mount as its better to sit in a vehicle with and run/ play etc. drop legs are dangerous for short guys (not l.o.l.) when u order u might ask for the correct cant. talk to Tom Crawford or his son. great people. email me ur number if u need more questions answered. my secretary does pics but be gentle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3324temp Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I personally stayed away from them just for this reason. I always found it ironic that we DQ people for muzzling their hand but have no issue with them inserting a gun into a holster that points it right into their leg. Kudos for those taking the time to adjust the cant out of the holster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Mine canted in enough that it would grab the pistol, not a smooth draw at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 @tedahlenius85... I think this depends largely on the waist contour, thigh shape, and perhaps natural stance of the shooter in question. My BOSS hanger rests firmly against my pants at that point without a spacer installed there. To the point I've thought before that "I'm glad the screws don't stick out or I'd be wearing holes in my clothes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks guys lots of great info here. Anyone have any experience with the CR speed Ultra belt? Or should I just go with the DAA? The inward always had bothered me but I never really thought about it until I took one of Ben Stoeger's class and hearing Kita talk about the incident where a student shot herself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I haven't had a CR speed belt, but I have owned a DAA and Shooters Connection belt. Both are fantastic stiff belts. I had a Boss holster on my DAA belt. No issues of canting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 yep i agree, body shape and how high/low you wear your belt makes a difference. any of the aluminum hangers like the BOSS make a big difference in my opinion compared the the DOH plastic options that come with some holsters.

That looks like exactly what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
