Xanatos903 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If you're looking for a more affordable option, there's the Ghost Thunder. I ordered one last Friday so we'll see whether it's worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I keep coming back to blade tech, but there are a lot of great choices out there. I would buy the cheapest I could find since they all pretty much function the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanatos903 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I've had the Ghost holster for about a week and dryfired with it for about 30 mins per day. It is hot garbage. If I smash my hand down into it to get a high grip, it almost locks onto the gun and requires a very snappy pull to release- not exactly conducive to a smooth draw. With scoop draw it's kind of meh. I've backed out the retention screws to where they're just hanging on by half a thread and it doesn't help. I'm going to call them today and ask for a refund.

Xanatos903 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So I can't edit my post above, but I'm actually going to backtrack on my statement above. The issue was actually with my belt. I discovered that when I held the belt to prevent flex, the holster actually drew quite nicely. The problem was that the belt would flex, cocking the holster off to the side, and prevent a smooth draw straight up. After changing to a DAA belt and making sure it's tight on my waist, the problem seems to have gone away. I think I'll be happy with this holster for a while.

Pc70 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 He is liking the International especially after I put the hanger on it. But its just been dry fire sessions. I will have to get him out to the range for some live fire practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Menamy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I know it's been said, but I highly recommend the boss setup from ben stoeger pro shop. Been running that for quite a while and have absolutely zero complaints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc70 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 The BOSS hanger is actually on its way, but he wont get it until he gets to shoot this setup a bit. Once I get some first shot time data then we will put it on and try it. I am listening to all the info given as the game is a lot different now then it was in my youth.

davidb72 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Comp Tac or Blade Tech are perfectly fine if paired with the BOSS hanger. I've used them both and they both work great. Edited November 22, 2018 by davidb72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc70 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Soooo.... I was playing with my son’s holster and hangers. The holster “feels” faster than my Chapman high ride and the hangers are awsome. I may need a range trip in the very near (and very cold) future to test this. I might see an old dog learing new tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hnemes Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Here is a link to midway usa for a double alpha pdr, from what i hear its a good holster. Alot of the local guys run one of these. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018562969/double-alpha-pdr-pro-ii-holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 When I was shooting my 34 I used a bladetech from Ben Stoeger Proshop. It performed just as I needed while i had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amerflyer48 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I went with Black Scorpion Gears Production Package and added a ghost 360 pouch Chased all the threads with blue loctite once I got it all set where I wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoakam Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The 5.11 holster I'm running built by blade tech is pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slalom45 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm late to this conversation, but I have had the Comp Tac and Blade Tech for my G34. To me the Blade Tech is worlds better. The Comp Tac relies on the detent gripping the trigger guard for retention. The rest of the holster is loose on the 34. The problem I found was that on occasion this slop in the holster allowed the gun to bind and hang up on the draw if you apply any torque when you grip. The Blade Tech has a much better "fit" to the gun. This is actually faster as there is seldom, if ever, any bind on the draw. Both of these were on the BOSS hanger btw. It may only be an issue on the Glocks as I felt the holster fit on a friend's Sig p320 in a Comp Tac and it felt pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS23 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Which Blade-Tech are you guys recommending? They have the Classic OWB and Signature. I’m choosing between the Bladetech and Comptac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamj Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I went with the affordable option and used a comptac international holster. It worked perfectly and had good retention and draw. It was a good one to learn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc70 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 I tired my son’s Comp-Tac and bought one for my 1911. If i come across a cheap Bladetech I will certainly give that a try. Now I need to talk myself i to selling my old Chapman rig.....or maybe just keep it for nostalgia sake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first rig, first tried one as a loaner at an Indoor Championship in KC, still have it. I agree keep it, though we may be dating ourselves?

RePete Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I had an Ernie Hill holster that I sold, kicking my a$$ now. Keep it, lest you be sorry later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc70 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yeah I’m going to keep it....and pskys2 we are but we had the fun of doing this when it was new. I’m just happy my son is into it. I loved competing when I was a teenager but it would have been more fun if my dad was out there with instead of on the sidelines. Now I just need April to get here.
