BangSwitch Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Did anyone have a chance to check out the new Safariland Model 015 competition holster at SHOT? Their website says that it should start shipping in March. [link] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HI5-O Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 It looks solid. Has the features I look for such as being able to take the body off of the hanger for travel, plenty of clearance between the holster and hanger and height adjustable. I think the description of the lock position listed in the description is incorrect. Will get one when available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ltirona Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I was able to handle it and play with an STI grip frame at SHOT. I also had the chance to talk to Bobby McGee about it. It looks like it will be a great holster. The lock works unobtrusively and it releases very smoothly. It is supposed to work with all 2011 patterns, metal and plastic.

avastcosmicarena Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Should be interesting to see how this compares to the Everglades Magnetic Race Holster. Will need to buy a holster for the PT Honcho soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tke37617 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I like Safariland holsters. I use them for open and limited. I am a fan of the current muzzle support. I hope the current holster stays in production as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unregistered Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Sorry guys. I did grab one from SC.... I will be able to compare it to the DAA Alpha-X, Safariland 014, and Everglades Magnetic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Safariland 014 had some wobble in the gun when holstered, and I don't like the muzzle support. Not able to get into some awkward positions that European matches love. The Everglades really jabbed me quite hard in the leg, but has a great holster body. The Alpha-X is my current holster, but with my new Venom guns they hang up unless I have a perfectly vertical draw. The hanger on the Alpha-X is pretty awesome though. Hopefully the 015 solves all the problems...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I personally don't find the MRH painful, but I have one with the thigh pad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usmc1977 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I am curious how this will work as I just bought an Alpha-x for my Czechmate. Was really eyeballing the safariland because I love their gear for 3-gun but could not wait any longer to get the Czechmate geared up. If it is a huge benefit, I can certainly see getting the Safariland if it is a huge benefit over the tried-and-true Alpha-xSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

usmc1977 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 There is a great review of this product on the Safariland website. Definitely worth taking a look at... https://www.safariland.com/products/holsters-and-gear/holsters/model-015-open-top-competition-holster-model_015.html#start=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
