sniperdog Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have decided to put the Limited race gun in the safe for a while and shoot single stack. My problem is what holster can I use that gives me the same "feel" as my Limited holster. I have tried a Blade-Tech but it seems to feel like I am having some drag on my draw. I looked at a Serpa but have not tried one, if anyone has some ideas I am open for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Try a Safariland 568....very smooth release and fast. They also make it without the paddle, but I can't recall the number. I think they offer a slight offset piece you can put in to move it slightly away from the body, but still be legal for SS. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et45 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The plain Blackhawk without the Serpa is very fast.You may have to Dremel some off to get it just right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I use a Comp-tac belt holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have the Safariland 560. Its SWEET, but not super fast. I will see how it does this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 are you thinking leather or kydex? i started with a leather Dillon. tried a el-cheapo Uncle Mike's kydex ( i also have a blade-tech) and love it. it's secure and very fast, especially compared to leather, and a real deal for the money.

Aircooled6racer Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hello: If you have a pretty pistol then the Safariland 560 is the way to go. If you have a work horse then the Comp-Tac belt holster is the way to go. Hope this helps. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMS42 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I just broke out a couple of old holsters that I used to use. One is an old Davis that I bought in the early 80s when Davis was attending matches in the Seattle area. The other is a Wilson Practical P1. Don't remember when or where it came from. But both work well for me. I think that as some of us old guys get back into shooting Single Stack that you'll see a lot of the old leather. What worked once before should work now.

G-ManBart Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Hello: If you have a pretty pistol then the Safariland 560 is the way to go. If you have a work horse then the Comp-Tac belt holster is the way to go. Hope this helps. Thanks, Eric Eric, Safariland stopped making the 560. They replaced it with the 567/568, but the holster body is the same. The 567 has the belt loop attachment and the 568 has a paddle. The paddle is now a plastic rather than the softer laminate. Also, the way the belt loop on the 567 is, I don't think it holds the front strap above the beltline which would prevent it from being legal for SSD. R, Edit to add: The 568 definitely puts the front strap above the beltline and is SSD legal. Safariland told me that if i found the current paddle to be less comfortable than that of the 560 I could send it back and they'd swap paddles for me.

Paul Burtchell Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've tried just about everything and Comp-Tac is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a suede lined kydex belt holster that does keep the fronstrap above the belt. I just got one recently and it's pretty nice so far. It's much easier on the finish than plain kydex.

dohboy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 +1 for Comp-Tac! Excellent holsters and mag pouches too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspian_45 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) The drag on the draw is from all the rust on the gun While I use KyTac. Just about any of the Kydex holsters will do well. And they are avaliable Whichever holster you decide on.......just get your butt over to the SSC match this year. Hope to see ya at the IN state match.

adweisbe Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Talon Tactical A-10. Fastest holster I have ever used. It presents the gun well and it glides right out with near zero resistance. It also retains well. I can wrestle with my dog and the gun doesn't go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadShot Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I was wondering abou the Uncle Mike's holster, too. Here is a picture of mine on a CR speed belt. I think it will be legal... Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
