TheGoatMumbler Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 What revolver holsters are widely used in IDPA? Comp Tac & Blade Tech both claim to have themfor my S&W 686 4" but can't get a pic on either website? Also, a recommendation for speedloader pouches for the Safariland Comp III speedloaders. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajblack Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have a set of Ready Tactical speedloader holders for Safariland comp III's. I like them a lot, but I'm not sure if they're still being produced. I use a Comp Tac holster for my 686. It works fine for IDPA but I was not very impressed with it's fit, there is some wiggle front to back. Not enough of a problem for me to get something else, but if I was doing it again I would try a Bladetech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synchronicity Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I am very happy with my Comp Tac from Speed Beez for my 625. I use Comp III's with my K frames and run holders from either Speed Beez or 4wheelguns - don't recall. Edited to add: Comp Tac from the same source for my K frames also and just as Happy. Edited to add: I run Blade Tech on my 1911 and just as Happy. Edited January 21, 2020 by synchronicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggman Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Comp-Tac fits more revolvers . The Ready Tactical can be a bit tight for newer revolvers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toby1304 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Try Master Tac, awesome people and they sponsor and shoot a lot of IDPA matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My Wife and I are running Ready Tactical holsters and speedloader pouches and IMO they are the best. These were purchased from Chris Patty at Shooters Connection. Thanks Chris. A search has come up with zero results for the revolver holsters and pouches, Comp Tac has a very good revolver holster and the pouches look OK. \If you go Comp Tac, you will need the #6 speedloader pouch for the Comp III's.

GmanCdp Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I use Ready Tactical holsters on K,L and N frame revolvers.. go to 4wheelguns.com for legal IDPA comp3 holders. Made with DCL combat loops which hold great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donno Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Back when I shot IDPA SSR, I used a Fobus for my 686. It was very good fit and came out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Caveat, I live in Alabama and shoot with both Chris and Bill. I have mostly Ready Tac holsters, but like the Master Tac speedloader carriers. Anecdote Alert: Early days, Chris made a magazine carrier I call the Claw. It was geometrically similar to the sheet metal Safariland clip clip, but more secure, so when Bville wanted to ban the Safariland device without calling names, they put in the requirement that the carrier cover the outer face of the magazine. So Chris came up with one. He laughed, saying it is even faster to draw from than the Claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsg Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 For my 686 I use Master Tac speed loader holders and holster. For my 625 I use a Blade Tech holster and North Mountain moon clip holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewthursby Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 On the rare occasion I shoot my 686 at IDPA I use a Master-Tac holster and speedloader holders. Get double layer for the added stiffness. Bill does a lot to support the sport!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWSixgunner Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Does Blade Tech even make revolver holsters anymore?I looked & looked for one for my GP 100 and finally bought a Garret Industries Silent Thunder. A little pricey but a very nice holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S391 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Another vote for Master Tac. You can find them on Facebook. Great people to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
