jcc7x7 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) So I bought a 686 4" that TK custom reamed to 9mm and cut for moon clips. Been shooting limited with my 929 and I know I can use the same holster But Want to set up another belt for L6 moon clips for the 6 shot are tiny and need different posts/ holders than the 929/627 holders So thought I'd look at some new holsters etc. Don't care if it's covered kydex. Time to first shot is with in .003 in a Kydek or race holster. Also not looking to spend 150+ dollars. Figure y'all may have been keeping up with the newest and greatest better than I have! Since I haven't! My old holster is a 8-10 year old DAA LOL Thanks for any input, PM me if you have some special info. Mods if you want me to put this in WTB I will BUT, Right now looking for info more than buying etc Edited February 16, 2020 by jcc7x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Treat yourself to a moonclip server. They work with all moonclips, then you need just the one belt.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Pat Actually got one of those in the deal I made with the gun. Getting my big mitt in the opening is the only problem so far with that! Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 At “not looking to spend $150” you’ve obviously been looking at the Speedbeez website. I have that rig, well my wife did get one. I’ll probably use it someday to try out limited 6 like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRBerg Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I just ordered a Speedbees holster for my 627 5" think it was around $84 shipped to the door it was recommended by several shooter's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Problem with the cheap holsters is that they hang funny and I can't get the grip I like, so you have to add a holster hanger to get the right fit and end up spending a bunch of money anyway. I don't think anyone has reinvented the wheel yet, and if you don't mind full wraparound maybe there's a local guy near you that does custom kydex semi-professionally. He might even be able to get the cant and camber the way you want so you can have a more natural/comfortable draw stroke.

Going to talk with a local and see what he's willing and able to do! Thanks for the idea. Otherwise I'm going to get and Comp tech/Blade tech type, since I've already got an extra hanger so I can get it where I want with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah if you already have a hanger, the sky is the limit. I switched from Blade Tech to one of the DAA holsters because I could adjust it how I wanted. It has its downsides, like if you forget to unlock it, and it's not always easiest to reholster, but it has the ball joints built-in so my drawstroke is natural. I like it but I don't like it. And one of my friend's DQed because he thought it was reholstered after the "make ready" and ended up falling, loaded. I'm extra careful but it would be nice not to have to be, and to support some local dudes making quality products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got one of the speed beez competition holsters (cut low on the front) for my Super GP100 and I have to say I am really please with how works, I had been running a Limcat holster for my 627 and I am not seeing anything about this one that will slow me down. I will likely be getting a Springer or Boss hanger for it to take some of the bounce out of the plastic belt attachment, but so far the bouncy feeling seems only to be noticeable when walking around, during the draw it feels and functions just fine as is.

PatJones Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've used the BOSS hangars, but I prefer the new one from CR Speed.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
