JohnnyD Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 What holster would you guys recommend for limited? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Glock 35 Gen4 and add a few goodies for USPSA Limited. I also will be shooting it in Steel Challenge with a KKM 9mm conversion barrel eventually so I'm leaning towards race holster? DAA Racer maybe? They aren't too expensive. Bladetech/Comptac on a BOSS Hanger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hello: I have Comp-Tac, Blade Tech and a Safariland with the USPSA mount. The USPSA mount makes all of these holsters faster. You can put it in any position because of the ball end mount. TGO has a video about it for his production rig. Once you practice with one of these holsters they are just as fast as a race holster. I have seen more than one person who can draw with an enclosed holster faster than most can with a race holster. The Boss mount needs shims to adjust the distance from your body and angle on the vertical plane, where the ball does this easily. I had a couple of DAA Racemasters and I am faster with my limited pistol with the Blade Tech. Not by much but the secure feeling in the holster when I draw is what I think it is. Pick one and practice. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Free Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have a Bladetech and boss hanger. Good fit, good adjustments, very happy with the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlightning Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Red Hill Tactical with a Boss. I took a class where the instructor measure our draw. I and one other student were fastest to first shoot. We both were using similar close holster, his was a Bladetech. We went up against several open guys and gals and limited guys with race holster. He wanted to prove a point. Holster was not as important as training and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but sometimes the “open air” race holster is necessary, such as when you have a frame weight on the rail and a left thumb rest on the frame weight. Pretty hard to get all that in a closed holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmill87 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes what Paul49 said. It will depend on if you plan on adding any accessories to the gun that could change the profile, specifically the rail area right in front of the trigger guard.

JohnnyD Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yah, I don't plan on adding a frame weight or thumb rest anytime soon so I think I will stick with a more traditional holster on a hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp88 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would choose a bladetech on a boss hanger. If you are using an SJC frame weight then go with Red Hill Tactical, they make one for the frame weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG013 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd buy once cry once if I were you. If you might eventually add a frame weight or *thumb rest [generic]*, you might as well get a race holster now. No sense in getting a holster then buying another one down the road. Plus you can get all your practice in with that same holster now. I really like my new DAA Alpha-X holster. Also, if you change guns down the road, you can get a new insert for it and call it good.

S&W686 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There are several to chose from. Blade-Tech, Comp-Tac, Master Tac or Red Hill Tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty hard to get all that in a closed holster. Absolutely right with the thumb rest. I don’t know if any close holster that can accommodate that feature.

JohnnyD Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I ended up finding a closeout price on the DAA Racer holster for $100 so I picked it up. I figured worse case the price I paid for it if I switch guns and need a different insert the price difference isn't much to just sell it off and buy a whole new holster. I have no plans on switching platforms in the next few years as I want to carry same platform as my competition gun. Still need to order a Safariland holster for 3gun as I don't think using a raceholster is wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
