L2044 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hello All, New to the forum, not the sport. Life member and last competed 1998 (My son was born in Feb of 1999). It's thyme to play again!! I see looking at the rule book the USPSA has hired a wall of attorneys and a few thesauruses. Soooo, rather than hurt my very small brain I thought I'd reach out to those of you who made all the mistakes in advance. I will be shooting "Limited" (Not to be confused w/Limited 10). Is a "Open" holster (like the Safariland Model 014) acceptable? Does the trigger need to be completely covered on both side.. or even one side? Thanks in Advance, Doug DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Better browse that rule book anyway, before you go to a Match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2044 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yah, thats the problem... it's not clear. As I read it where the holster is held on the body. Couldn't find anything on "Limited" gun/trigger coverage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Race holsters are allowed in open, limited and L10 back in the day safariland owned the race holster market, now there’s many more choices our there look for one that’s is adjustable in height, and cant, and has a retention lock so your gun don’t fall out when you’re walking around and ditto on reading the rule book the basic rules are still there, some have changes, some are gone, some are new It’ll be better to understand the current rules, than to rely on how the sport used to be And to answer your question the safariland 014 is legal in limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perttime Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I think these are the essential holster rules for Limited: 5.2.7 Competitors must not be permitted to commence a course of fire wearing: 5.2.7.1 A shoulder holster or “tie-down” rig (visible or otherwise), except as specified in Rule 5.2.8. 5.2.7.2 A holster with the heel of the butt of the handgun below the top of the belt, except as specified in Appendix D, or otherwise indicated in Rule 5.2.8. 5.2.7.3 A holster with the muzzle of the handgun pointing further than 3 feet from the competitor’s feet while standing relaxed, 5.2.7.4 A holster which does not completely prevent access to, or activation of, the trigger while holstered. ... ... APPENDIX D2 —Limited Division ... 12 Restriction on position of holster and other equipment No Edited October 11, 2018 by perttime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2044 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks!! I've read this and Apendex D and assumed all was good, but unsure. Whn looking at holsters I freqently see "Open Devision" listed as part of the discription... thus th concern. Trigger is th next issue as my old Safariland open holster does not "completely" prevent access to th trigger of my TSO... Even though it be a task to do so...

perttime Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Can you get a photo of your pistol in your holster? I'm thinking that if the holster does not prevent trigger acces, it might not be the correct model for the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
