TobyJOn their website, if you select the glock 35 (same size as the 34) and/or a optic, it says your firearm is not compatible. Had me kind of nervous to pull the trigger on it. Thanks for confirming it works. What optic do you use if I may ask?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyJ Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm running an RMR now, and have also run it with a Vortex Viper...with the vortex, there was one small spot where the holster touched the sight. Wasn't a huge deal, and I only really noticed it when holstering (occasionally took a little maneuvering), but 10 seconds with a heat gun fixed it right up.

Explosiveo Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nice. Thanks for the info man. I have a delta point pro. Which is kind of wide. But probably can do the same with the heat gun if it rubs.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

858 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I have a RHT on a SP hanger. There isn't any interference for irons or MRD. Most of the competition based holsters are open from the front of the slide breech back according to USPSA and IDPA rules. The RHT holster is rigid and fits very precisely, especially with the thumb screws. Edited July 7, 2017 by 858 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also works for my production 17 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Im sold. Ordering now. This Comptech points right at my leg when in drop holster mode.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 The Bladetech does that too. It throws off my draw if I don't get the angle perfect. The RHT holster is very precise for Kydex and the thumb screws don't feel like a cheap afterthought. Make sure you get the SP hanger if you're shooting USPSA, it clamps tightly to the belt and reduces the overall inner contact that blocks the velco. I started with a BT Tek-Lok holster, it slides around and prevents the velcro in my double belt from attaching. The Double Alpha mag pouches and Springer Precision hanger just fit much better.

Explosiveo Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks. Appreciate the info. My other Safariland 014 holster wont even fit on my belt. Too wide. So i had to clamp it to my inner belt. Using the 511 belt but i may have to invest in a new belt as well. I have been warned that my inner belt needs to be though my belt loops and it doesnt work with the holster clamped to it.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Comp Tac DOH hanger is terrible. The Comp Tac International will mount to a BOSS hanger though which are very nice. I now use a Blade Tech with a BOSS hanger. The Blade Tech holster has plenty of clearance to work with an optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 That Boss hanger is a great idea. I had no idea something like that existed.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) The boss hanger for Bladetech also works for Comptac holster, they sell a separate hanger plate for Safariland holsters also, I have and use all 3 brands of holsters. Most of the gear out there is proprietary as in they are designed for their specific product, one that comes to mind is the older Safariland 2 piece belts where the velcro was the opposite set up to other brands. You do get a bit more adjustment with the Safariland hanger but both are quite good to use, much better than the OEM DOH set ups. Pic attached is my G17 with Redfield sight on dovetail mount in the Safariland 5197, shows plenty of clearance off the sight.

Explosiveo Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Mine just shipped out. FYI for anyone ordering from the Safariland website. It takes 14 days before they ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow250 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 An option: I've been using the Blade-Tech with BOSS hanger for over 1.5 years, shooting a G17, 34, 35 and 24 in different sports/divisions. I started with the Blade-Tech 34/35 holster and cut the bottom out to fit the G24. It holds the G17 fine as well. The thumb screw tension adjusters work really well also. It helps to have one holster for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman301 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have the Double Alpha PDR Pro and love it. Fits all the Glock models 17, 34, etc. Easy to adjust retention. Works with optics. A lot of adjustability in every area. Has inserts to match it with almost every belt size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
