Johnny_Chimpo Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I got a Hydra P for my Shadow 2, the one with the fixed, clamp-to-the-belt-with-screws attachment. My only frame of reference is your typical Comp-Tac/JMCK/RHT gun bucket on a BOSS hanger so that is what I am comparing it to below Observations The hanger is thinner than a BOSS. I've done all the bending and moving that I've always done with my BOSS and it hasn't bent. The draw has zero resistance and almost no drag. There's a small plastic set screw on the part of the holster where the pic rail should rest. Needs to be adjusted to take the wiggle out of the pistol in there. Positives The race holster lock is awesome. It took me 5 seconds to figure out how to use it. You can lock the pistol in with the lever up or down. With the lever down, you can reach down with your fingers with your hand on the butt of the gun and flip it up on the draw if you forget to undo it at make ready. You'd have to be pretty absent minded to forget to unlock it at make ready anyway It's $100 with the hanger. No other combination of holsters and hangers (that are worth using) comes close to that in price It took a week to get to me, not 5 - 6 months It adjusts in more planes than a BOSS. I really dig the way the holster can rotate around the post to place the gun in a perfect orientation to my hand when it reaches up. Negatives The BOSS has a longer range of vertical adjustment. However, the Ghost lets me get the gun low enough and still be legal The UHMW block where the trigger guard locks into has some seriously sharp edges around the back on the outside. My right middle finger left blood all over it. Fixed in 10 minutes with sandpaper, files, and a dremel. It only comes in black Verdict: 9/10 would buy again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerslayer Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Can someone post a pic of their gun in the holster (mounted on the belt)? I couldn't get the imgur links to work. My concern is the length of the hanger. In the few pics/videos I'vs seen, the hanger doesn't appear to allow the gun to ride as low as the typical BOSS/bucket rig does.

DenC Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Hi @deerslayer Here you go. Sorry if the pics dont seem so good but hope it helps you. I have the P+ model (with the C clip) and the P model (the one you have to screw with the plates onto your belt). These are pics with my Stock 1 holstered. I have put the P+ holster at the lowest point it can go without a forward cant. The P model you cannot adjust for height, only cant.

Nope The Hydra P has the same exact adjustments as the P+. The only difference is in how the hanger attaches to the belt. Here's my Hydra P with a Shadow 2 in it. It's not all the way down. The two lower set screws allow you to adjust height and rotation about the vertical when loosened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenC Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Hmmm, my p model has a different attachment vs your p model and my p+ model. This is the pic of the attachment of my p model. Also note this holster's belt attachment (same as yours). Bought mine from Ghost Italy. Edited February 11, 2023 by DenC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenC Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 This is the pic.of my p+ model with the c-clip. Same attachment as yours @Johnny_Chimpo. Maybe a variation in models offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_Chimpo Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 @Arcrunner @DenC I bought my Hydra P from Ghost USA in December of 22. https://ghostholsterdirect.com/product/hydra-p/ Maybe there has been a running change to make the two much more similar.

Yes, I think so. In the original announcement video for the P, I noticed that the two versions have different mounting options but had to look closely. I also noticed a fellow local shooter with one for a P320, and it had the newer one like for the P+, but I think I assumed that was a p320 model specific one. Actually would prefer the newer one.

PwrOut Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Ive been looking at getting a Hydra P for the shadow 2. This is my first belt as im new to IPSC. Which is better, the P+ with the 3G mount or the screw on belt attachment of the regular P? I cant make my mind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenC Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 The main reason I prefer the P+ with the 3G mount is so I can remove/reattach the holster to my belt easily. I wanted all my gear to fit into my range backpack and being able to remove the holster helps to keep things compact. There may be some movement of the P+ on the belt when attached but it has not bothered me at all. Though I have the "older" model P (with the screw on belt attachment and with lesser adjustability), I have never used it and I am only assuming it would be much more stable on the belt. If you ever get the P, it would be best if you get the newer variant with more adjustability just like Johnny Chimpo's holster in the previous thread responses.

ComputersAre8ad Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Love my P+. Hate that every holster I buy I wait over a month before I get it. I'm on about a month and a half waiting for a new holster for my Staccato presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Range Panda on left and Ghost on right. Range Panda significantly thicker and lighter than the Ghost. Both are non-magnetic so the lightening holes in the RP bracket helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
