encoreman Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) Hi Guys & Gals Am planning on competing with either a 610 or 625 soon. What say you about holsters. CR speed or what. I use a CR on my Para. Thanks for the help. Hope we can get 20+ for the Miss Classic match. See Ya Mac Thanks everyone, I bought a Safailand because it was on the shelf and I needed one. Will try it and see if it will do the job. Edited March 13, 2006 by encoreman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yep, particularly if you're already used to that rig. CR Speed holsters for Revo are excellent. Good luck at the Miss Classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 CR Speed is the one I use and recommend. Can I get a sponsorship over here or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encoreman Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hey Walt, Wouldn't it be nice to get sponsorship for all the products we endorse. Just because we're not Be or Tomaise doesn't mean we couldn't use the dough! Maybe if we performed like they did HUH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haras Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Hey Mac, what would it take to get you and a revolver to the March match in Byram? We have 3 people shooting revolvers at the moment. Added: March is a classifier match. 4 classifiers. You could get a revolver claasification for the MS Classic.

encoreman Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Haras, What date and time for the March match? If I can get geared-up in time I'll come. I was planning on getting a 610, but found a 625 with safariland holster and moonclip holders on uspsa, now I got to make up my mind. Decisions-decisions.

Ted Murphy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I plan to get a CR soon. Looks really nice. Girlfriend bout fell off a chair when I told her I wanted one. Seems with the smaller footprint on the belt you can place more moonclips in front of the holster. Is that correct? Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Ted--I love it! Always thought there might be a true gamer buried beneath that martial artist veneer! I think you're right that more moonclips fit on the belt, of course most of us wind up stringing them all the way across the front, I always keep 8 moonclip holders in front, and one around back behind the gun for emergencies. That smaller footprint brings along one problem--if the belt isn't good and stiff, the holster isn't as stable as it needs to be. I use a Safariland belt right now, but one of these days I believe I will upgrade to the very stiff CR Speed belt. One other thing I've noticed, it sometimes takes a fair bit of fiddling to get the CR Speed adjusted so the draw naturally comes straight up and out. Set up right, it's wicked quick...but you don't want to be pulling sideways or front-to-back, you want your draw motion to pull the gun straight up and out. Fortunately, the rig is almost infinitely adjustable--it just takes a little time and experimentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac, we shoot first Sunday which is March 5th. Sign up 8-8:30am shooters meeting at 9am. It's all fun after that. Hell, if you don't get the revo in time run what you got.

hopalong Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 encoreman, I like you started with a CR for my LTD gun (won it fortunately) I liked it so well and thought that since that is what I was used to that I should go with one for the wheelgun. I don't regret it one bit. Just make sure you get the little rod that fits the belt to adjust cant and twist of the gun, VERY much worth it. AND go ahead and visit Glen(haras) and Pat(Bwana Six gun) and Hank(not a member) they are a good bunch to shoot with and will help if you need it and will gripe and complain if you whup up on them. Pat is the current Section Champion so don't expect him to show you every trick in his hat. Looking forward to the state match myself, it's gonna be good and FUN!

HOPALONG The three of us finished 100, 98.5 and 95.5% in the February match. Revo was the closest race that day. The Section Coordinator thinks it's a hoot the three of us talk smack about our runs. We had a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'm shootin a match today, but alas, not revolver, because I haven't had time to practice the draw with my NEWUSED CR Revolver Speed Holster 2000 but I will next month. I use a CR for my BHP. RePete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 One correction and a couple of comments to Hopalongs Post. Tim Lott is the Current Section Champion, I got it in 2004. (Lucky day for me) Haras and Hank are both worthy adversaries. Objectively speaking, they shoot faster than I do, but I can move a little faster and reload a little faster. (It's and age thing, ya know) We talk smack, because we know we are shooting the toughest discipline. Accuracy and speed, not how many rounds you can cram in the magazine. And no, I will not be sharing any secrets I have. I need all the edge I can get. See you on the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted And it fits all barrel lengths with no adjustment needed. That was the selling point for my as I use a 6.5" for USPSA and a 5" for ICORE and steel. If I want to use my 4" that works too. 10MM Dave recommended it along with HDGUN and PMD. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I use the Extreme as well. It's a nice holster that not only fits all barrel lengths, but also fits all revolvers except for Rugers with the squared trigger guard (older Super Redhawk or Super Blackhawk, can't remember which). My 625 was a little tight in the holster, so I dremeled it till it was nice and smooth. Some other guns are a little loose (inlcuding other N-frames, go figure) but the lock is secure.

xuxupecheur Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 OK, I've gotten one of this SpeedSec 5. It came only with three velcro strips, no instructions, tools, nothing else. How do I adjust this thing? Which tools do I need? HELP PLEASE !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10mmdave Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 OK, I've gotten one of this SpeedSec 5. It came only with three velcro strips, no instructions, tools, nothing else.How do I adjust this thing? Which tools do I need? HELP PLEASE !!! No instructions !?!?!? we don need no stinkin instructions The adjustments are pretty straight forward. The screw down in the holster moves the trigger guard (whole gun really) so the lock can easily be engaged. Same for the the screw under the barrel. My advice ?? start with the trigger guard screw screwed all the way in, then with the under barrel screw kind of level out the barrel to the holster block. Then back out the trigger guard screw until the lock lever starts catching on the trigger bar, then turn it in 1/4 turn or so. With mine set up my way I some times have to rock the gun backwards to get the lock to lock the way it should but for some reason the gun just wants to clear the holster better that way so I leave it that way. And since it's set up this way it works for all my revos. Try a few different adjustments, you may find a slight tilt of the barrel in relation to the holster block might feel smoother on the draw or better locking. Now as far as cant angle and height I think you can see how that works. AND !!! you may want to pull the screw that holds the locking lever and put some blue locktite on it, mines an old one and that screw loosened enough that the lever started flopping around. The constant locking and unlocking did it I believe. I plan on putting a detent on mine someday. Okay, maybe RGS has some advice too, and if you have trouble post back here later and i'll get mine out and look at it. (and hey ! maybe that's what these hosters are cheaper, no tools or instructions ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I bought a big strip of velcro from a fabric store and cut it to fit the holster, with velcro on the inside and outside of the part that interfaces with the belt. My 625 was REAL tight in my holster, while all my other guns are loose. I have both screws turned all the way in for my 625, and I had to relieve the holster with a dremel (there's that word again) so I wouldn't give myself the 'ole belt-around-the-neck draw (yes, it held onto the gun that much). But other than that it works fine and feels fast. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
