rootacres Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Can someone explain to me from where to where is the measurement done to determine the distance a pistol can be from your body. I have a tanfoglio Stock 2 with a bladetech DOH holster on a tek lok. No spacers or anything just outa the box onto my belt. I've used it for almost 2 years. At a level 2 match over the weekend on the first stage I was told it was ilegal and had to take the drop offset off. Does this sound right? This is advertised as a production holster.

ChuckS Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Appendix E2 in the rule book covers the distance from the inside of the belt. DOH holsters have been known to tilt a bit too far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Go to USPSA website, look under NROI and download the rule book. There's an appendix that shows what you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 You will need to get a longer screw for the bottom screw, and some small washers. This will make the holster more vertical and move the butt of the gun closer to the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Ammo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've heated the offset and bent it towards the belt to make it legal for production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Im not surprised to hear it was to far. Its pretty common. Rule book pg 20 rule pg 92 is appendix e2 https://www.uspsa.org/document_library/rules/2014/Feb 2014 Handgun Rules.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Time to junk the plastic DOH and get one from Springer Precision/Red Hill Tactical, or a BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly common for the DOH to need a small shim washer on the bottom or heated up and bent a little. They are Production legal but still have to be in spec. See what happens when rules are not enforced at locals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeinctown Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I got a DAA PDR Pro and still check the night before just to make sure that nothing slipped or moved. I had to add two small washers to mine to tighten up the fit of the hydex portion to the mounting bracket but overall I haven't had to readjust yet.

MemphisMechanic Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Suggestion to fix problem AND make you realize how much faster you can get the gun out of a holster hanger that isn't limp and floppy... (The blade tech drop hanger is both flaccid and angles the gun outward from your body. An inconsistent ergonomic nightmare.) http://benstoegerproshop.com/bsps-boss-doh-holster-hanger-hanger-mount-only/ Your holster body will bolt right to it. And you'll spend a far more comfortable day at the range. Using the standard spacers my Stock 3 is about 1.5" from my belt - well within the rules.

gtaylor07 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Plus something about having the muzzle pointed at your thigh never sounded like a good idea to me, went with a boss hanger and works great. Makes it super easy to swap out holsters if you stick with blade tech too. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Aren't you still allowed to make this measurement with the gun/holster/belt removed from the body? I always thought that kind of defeated the purpose, but it also takes gravity out of the equation for heavier guns. That said, when I was running a DOH with my X5 Allround, I also added washers to the lower screw point to move the top in. I have since moved to a BOSS hanger.
