optimator Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've been using the Blade tech's for the last year and they have been fine. Would the Safariland 773 be enough of an upgrade to bother with? These would primarily be used for 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have both. The Safariland gear is built to stand the abuse of military/LE and we can break just about anything........Blade tech is good, just not "as" good in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm setting up a belt for a new pistol. Last years setup was just to get me started, I'd like to upgrade a bit now. I like the look of the adjustability of the 773's. Whether I'd use it or not remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd say go for it!! If you are on FB, send Bobby McGee a PM and ask for a 40% off discount card. He will probably save you some $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj36d Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Are you using a safariland ELS rig, or just a standard belt? If you've got the full blown ELS system, the Safariland pouches definitely mount better and have a little more adjustability, but if you're just strapping them on a standard belt, not much of an upgrade really. If you want to shoot for an upgrade, DAA race masters are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to shoot for an upgrade, DAA race masters are great. I use a Shooters Connection belt with a Carbon Arms ratchet kit. I turn 55 later this year, and I just started in this game last year. Spending the cash on the Race Masters would be better spent on range time and ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The Safariland 773 pouches are bad to the bone. Best value out there. No reason to buy anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchShooterSupply Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I have both and like both but the 773 s are my favorite just recently switched to all ELS and can not be happier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunz720 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I prefer the 773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosturm Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I tried the bladetech first but did not like the fit with my STI mags. They did not hold enough mag and were not very secure. Also seemed to have a lot of manufacturing discrepancy between all three of the ones I purchased. Did not try Safariland, but got CompTacs and have been very pleased.

sloanslade Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have used Safariland 771 pouches for years in pistol matches. I had been using Blade Techs for 3gun and last year I swapped them out for Safariland 773s for pistol and 774s for rifle My opinion is that it is worth the effort and money to change to the Safarilands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
