It fits great. Perfect. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold that to a buddy who said the alpha x worked a lot better with the muzzle support. I'm so happy with the MRH that I don't want to try anything else. MRH is better with a more rigid belt. I switched to the Lynx belt and it's nicer. I tried the Everglades pad and didn't like it much. Later, I mounted one of these foam pads on the inside of the hanger.https://darkstargear.com/product/flatpad/ That's a way better thigh pad for me than the Everglades one. You can get that foam rubber stuff on Amazon with free shipping. You get a lot more of it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrickxx Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Have any of you guys had both the shooting USA holster and the Everglades? I broke the arm on my shooting USA and either have to fabricate a new piece or order a new holster and I’m curious how the mrh compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never had them at the same time so I cannot recall if the arms are identical but they were very very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war_material Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Well I just ordered the everglades holster! My gun should be here in March, now I am just gonna set up my press for 9 Major. Hoping this holster is the one we shall see! Thank you all so much for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janskis Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) SLB Gen 1 for me. I've got the gen2 for PD but I somehow like the gen 1 better. I know SLB personally and it's nice to buy these from a local store Edited January 19, 2022 by Janskis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRuss Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 CR-Speed Compact Race Holster. I found I had to use a zip-tie head as a shim to get the muzzle support to stay at the length I wanted. After that haven't had issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a thigh pad, magnets actually hold really well, as in I don't feel the need to lock it in dry fire when I'm moving or bending over to pick up mags, the release is pretty short (not as short as the SL 015). I'm really liking it. Super easy to adjust as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this holster as an option but it simply looks too handmade. I'm sure it works though~ Would love to see one locally to try out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was having my open guns built I would tell Don, just do whatever you want as long as the thing works. Slide cuts...don't care...decorative machining, don't care...color, don't care. You get my point. I'm totally a FFF type of person. If I had one complaint about the holster it's that it doesn't extend as far away from the hip as some others can. It's not a problem for me as I like it closer, but I can definitely see it causing some issues for people, especially bigger guys with bear paws for hands.

You are right, looks apparently sells a LOT! Fit and function most don't pay attention to because many of us want to look "cool" Way too many are too concern about how the firearm looks, what gear you use, colors, etc etc. Instead of being concerned about how good do you shoot, hows your dry fire routines, fundamentals, and ultimately how good at you when it comes down to compete in the game. With that being said, some people just want to shoot, have fun and don't care about competiting or classications, etc. But you're absolutely right, looks way too many are hung up on looks... I've been a victim of that myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 So I am an odd bird here. I was using a CR Speed, then went to a Center Of Mass holster because I was doing Open 3-Gun and needed something more secure. The COM is basically a standard kydex holster with swells to handle the CMORE scope legs on either side. Not the fastest holster in the world, but not one I have to worry any about either. Got comfortable with it and just never changed back to the CR Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
