Hoping to test the pistol some before investing in gear… Anybody have experience if it will fit in a comptac Glock 34 holster? Or a Glock with light holster? i’ve use the Glock with X300 holster for a number of non-Glock pistols, but they don’t all fit. If anybody has holsters laying around and can test, I would appreciate it. A guy on here that goes by bigtimeLarry said he’s been using his Glock 34 holster with not issues.

pumpedTSI Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ive been working with Ghost and have the latest Hydra-P for my Rival SF and it fits perfect with retention when needed......smooth draw and versatile if you need to tilt forward/back/left/right. Its pretty sturdy and excellent quality. Ive shot a few matches with it and it works well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried putting spacers in it to make the draw better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChef1 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Canik does it again… got a new rival S Darkside and it doesn’t draw well from the holster I already modified for the chrome. So the chrome was bigger than my polymers and the Darkside is bigger than the chrome. https://imgur.com/a/adBvKJ6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partyboy424 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I got the Raptor X1 from Casey Concealment and it’s awesome. I may just be a sucker for anything that uses magnets.. but decently priced for a race holster, engraved, custom color hardware and I had it 4 days after ordering it.

OklahomaJim Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I bought a Canik thumb rest. This thing is huge and it works well, but I can't find a holster to fit my Rival-S Chrome with the thumb rest installed. Has anyone found one that works?

Seanzky Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know of a holster like this BSG one, but has a clamp/clip-type belt attachment? Their IDPA holster has it, but it has no drop. The gun sits too high. https://www.blackscorpiongear.com/products/canik-rival-s-pro-heavy-duty-competition-holster-black To clarify, my criteria for a holster are the following: -holster body for the Rival-S (Dark Side) -hanger that allows the heel of the grip to stick slightly above the belt line and an inch of spacing between the holster and belt -belt attachment that can clamp over a 7mm thick belt Edited October 18, 2023 by Seanzky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanzky Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I just found out that IDPA rule about holster width has been removed. I think I'll go with this for IDPA and USPSA. https://ghostholsterdirect.com/product/hydra-p-plus/ EDIT: Scratch that. It breaks this rule for IDPA... "8.5.1.10 Retention devices may be permanently removed or permanently disabled, but not temporarily disabled for a match."

If it's an integral part of the gun (like the P320 takedown lever lever replacement) it IS legal in CO. A trigger pin is an integral part of the gun.

Just an FYI for anyone who comes across this thread. The 4.5" works, the 5" should be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
