mrvip27 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Anyone try one yet? It is a locking "holster" Seems the only thing "crappy" is the belt attachment. Not sure why USPSA doesn't just adopt race holsters like IPSC. https://ghostholsterdirect.com/product/hydra-p-plus/ Edited August 1, 2022 by mrvip27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 One of the guys I shoot with has one for his shadow 2 and likes it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itgma Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I have one and I love it. I'm a newer shooter, didn't make me go from D class to GM and but I do prefer it. +The draw is way more consistent. I felt like I was frequently adjusting the thumb screws on my old holster. +Very adjustable +Shipped in secure sturdy box + the locking mechanism is intuitive +The belt attachment makes it quick to snap off and put back on your belt. + The build quality seems great, and the shroud seems attached very securely. -I didn't like the layout or content of the manual, the locking mechanism is intuitive however I would have liked something a little more comprehensive (what size screws if replacement is needed, best care practices for locking mechanism etc etc ) -The belt attachment doesn't lock in place in place 100% without a hair of wiggle on my DAA Premium belt. Overall I think its a great product in terms of QOL and highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazr57 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I use a "the one evo" for my open gun and am interested in getting one of these for my shadow 2. anyone have both and notice any actual differences in using them? (other than i guess having to draw a bit higher to clear the muzzle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt DAA Premium There is a little gap near the top of the belt where I think if I added like a spacer or some wadded up paper the wiggle would be removed entirely without much effort. If I have time after work next week I will try to add material and let you know. I hope this helps! Edited August 6, 2022 by Itgma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it uses the same drop hanger as the Thunder holster etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If they had it for the A01LD I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YVK Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) I bought a different holster from them that utilizes the same hanger, except that it uses a conventional bolt down rectangular belt attachment plate rather than a teklok. It has the thinnest hanger I've ever seen that got bent just from me tightening the screws. P.S. I submitted my review on their site, probably been 3 weeks now. Nowhere to be seen, while five star reviews are available for prospective shoppers to read Edited August 7, 2022 by YVK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenC Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Is the height ride on this one adjustable? Will it allow the heel of the grip to be just slightly above the top of the belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noshootmagnet Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I just received mine last Friday. The height is adjustable enough that I was able to get the heel of the grip on my Shadow 2 to be right at belt level when canted. I was concerned about the hanger and how much wiggle it would have, but when I put it on my DAA premium belt it isn't a problem at all. The locking mechanism is pretty slick and the draw is really nice from this holster. Won't make me a better shooter, but I won't have to worry about my gun falling out while RO'ing a fast runner on a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightRider Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Does anyone know where I can find one in stock for my Shadow 2 I put the tevo thumb lock on mine and this holster fits that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsbygiz Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I have this for my shadow 2 and x5 legion… both have huge thumb rests holster is good… lots of adjustments Get the quick detach and it’s fully adjustable to the belt size and you can pop it right off don’t love the lock system (nothing beats a GX) but you get used to it.

Wrathen Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I ordered one for my Sig x5 Legion. The "metal" hanger is kind of flimsy and I didn't like it..... SOOOO it was time to make it "custom". I'm going to finish it up tomorrow but ran a match and some dry fire so far and liked my modifications so I'll make the "final" tomorrow with some cutting and sanding. I have a Boss Hanger that is firm and I like that I already had a QLS system setup on. SO I mounted the Flimsy Ghost bracket onto a QLS form and did some test by moving the Ghost holster's bracket up one I could mount two screws through the top of the QLS fork ( removed in photo). This allows for 4 bolts through the bracket into the QLS form. It is firm and solid. Tomorrow I plan on cutting the extra Ghost bracket material off and getting it all set with Locktite. Then I'll be able to do my swaps between all the holsters I use on that belt without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the x5 do you have the Align Tactical thumb rest? How does it clear the holster? Is the holster completely cut lower than the thumb rest? I've been trying to find a picture of the back of this holster online and there's not a single one, just a hundred pictures of the outside of it.

I could put my Align thumb test on and take a photo for you. I found that for my hands trying to use the thumb rest actually made my grip worse so I took it off. … BUT it is in the safe and I could do a photo in the ghost holster if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
