bruce282 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I use Fobus and Uncle Mikes pouches, they must cover at least 2" of the magazine, however there is no rule against using your back pocket to hold them or if you're using a vest for concelment, one of the vest pockets.

Middle Man Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Uncle Mike's #5036-1 single mag holder for double column mag. Use two singles, it's better than a double mag carrier. And if you cannot locate an Uncle Mike's try a Fobus #6909BH single belt holster carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampleworks Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm using a Blade-Tech injection molded one, for $14.95, you just cannot get any better. Link If you don't want to wait on Blade-Tech to send them to you, Pistol Gear has them for the same price with cheaper/faster shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP.308 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thanks! I will check into these and order one tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I could be wrong, but won't Beretta Mag pouches work for the XD? If so, that would make getting them at a local gun shop a mite easier. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP.308 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I just ordered one from Blade Tech last night - they say it should get to me on Thursday or Friday. Hopefully it will - my brother and I both have XD40s and are planning on shooting in Ripon for the first time on Saturday. I've read the whole rule book - one question though. What is required in terms of concealment as far as what you wear for a shirt or jacket? Is the gun required to be concealed at all times and drawn from concealment? Thanks!

Middle Man Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Concealment garment, in matches I run anyhow, can be jacket, vest or shirt. This time of year I try not to require concealment in our Alabama heat/humidity, I run more standards and off body retrieval COF's. Anyhow, to more precisely answer your question make sure whatever you wear is long enough to cover the holster. A cheap tropical pattern shirt does very well in the summer. Practice your drawstroke from concealment at home Thursday and Friday night before the match. Keep your thumb flagged, like a hitchhiker, and pull your strong hand back just under your pectoral muscle to move the shirt away from the gun for a clean draw. That's a more economical move than trying to throw the shirt away from the gun and then draw. Hope ya'll have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP.308 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks - I am from Wisconsin and I just read Rick's reply under a different thread: Wisconsin doesn't have a concealed carry law and therefore we are not required to shoot from concealment in the state.
