Skeeter44 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hey guys, new to the forum here and new to 2011's also. I never had a problem finding good holsters when i was running a G34 but now that I am in the 2011 world I am having a hell of a time finding a LH holster that fits this handgun. I bought the Ghost Hybrid, gun doesn't fit at all. So, I am reaching out in hopes someone can point me in the right direction. Have a match coming up on Sep 12th and would love to be able to run this gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I like a locking holster for three gun, the safariland GLS is a great option but you have to do a couple of mods to make it work with that gun. Juts cut about a half inch off the lever and a little trimming around the mag release. For USPSA any race holster fits that gun like the safariland 015 There's also a guy in the classifieds right now selling a 2011 with a regular coffin style holster that would be decent for both but like I said, you really need retention for three gun.

Is the DAA racer x considered a "locking" holster?? The problem with the safariland stuff is i would essentially be waiting for it until next season... which is a bummer. Im left handed so everything is more of a pain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yes, Safariland has an ALS holster that fits commander length pistols with or without a light rail. Not 100% sure it will work with the 4.4" pistol though. It works on 4" to 4.25" for sure, single or double stack. Just add the Nub Mod to the button and it's awesome for matches as well.

But I still install them on Glock holsters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are a highly recommended for ALS holsters. It makes your draws at speed way more consistent. My draws with the ALS for the most part are the same as my no retention kydex holster.

twodownzero Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 My 2011 fits so well into a holster made for a 1911 that I honestly don't remember if I bought the holster for a 1911 or a 2011--both fit. My 2011 has a classic slide and short dust cover, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im shooting a Staccato XL which is the 5.4" barrel length. Is there such a thing as a holster that doesnt use the trigger guard for retention??

Absolutely secure with the lock on. https://gugaribas.com.br/en/produto/gr-universal-holster-for-pistol-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like their NEO holster after looking at their products. I have never heard of them before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpYoursPal Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Reach out to GX Holsters (https://gxproductsusa.com/product/gx-vice-holster/). Their Vice holster is awesome for both USPSA and 3gun. They have several left hand models for both 5.4" and 6" 2011 pistols, and I bet that at least one of those would fit the XL. However, I'd ask first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
