D.Hayden Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I've been shootng Limited 10 lately (while my produciton gun is being worked on), I'd like to take adantage of the different rules with the mag pouch placments. Where's a good place to look for these? I don't even know what they're called. I am using some Kydex paddle 2-mag pouches now, and they dig in when I have to go to a low shot. I'd like angled singles if I can find them. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statichead2k Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I use kydex double mag pouches from Buy Brown. he's a local guy and does awesome work. I recently broke the paddle on my mag pouch getting in and out of the range car. Brown put a techlock (techlock pic)on it for me and I have never been happier. It sits out just a little farther, is adjustable for forward or reverse angles and I have not broken it since. The pic link goes to a knife sheath, but pretend it is a mag pouch.

D.Hayden Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 The Safariland's look like the things I see, in particular the 773. Do these seem to work well for those of you that have them? And, if you know if they'll fit any belt (1.5") like the CR's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.J. Norris Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 BarKim, I'd steer clear of Safariland gear. the mag pouches tend to stick you in the ribs with the mags in them. I'd look at CR Speed Versa Pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I use the Universal Shooting Academy holders for limited and lim-10. I like those because you get height , as well as angle and tension adjustments. Here's a pic: http://www.cpwsa.com/xtreme%20products.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I have the Safariland's. Have worked great for me for many years. Yet to see gear I liked better. Brian's store is the first place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 All Safariland ...100% of the time. NEVER had a problem or was unhappy with the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 BarKim, I also use Saffariland for my limited pistol and they have worked great for me. Even though, I am always looking for something better and the two other setups mentioned looked good also. cpty1 & statichead2k Have you ever compaired the safariland mag pouch with the one's you use?

B.J. Norris Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Garcia's pouches are heads and shoulders above the 711/733. I have 2 of them and refuse not to use them. I just have no speading money right now (saving for a Brazos......), if I did, I would have nothing but CR Speed gear. CR Speed is the best gear of the market. My Safariland belt was like a noodle in Barry this year, while my friends CR Speed was just as stiff as ever. The thing about Safariland is that they haven't designed a new product in long time (complete, from the ground up design). If you want, you can reverse the Versa pouch on the belt mount to get it even lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ironman, I abandoned the Safarilands for the Xtreme. The Xtreme holders offer much more flexibility in adjustments, and tension adjustments are easier because of the stock adjustment knobs that come with the Xtreme. To get the same quick tension adjustment on a Safariland you have to buy the extra control knobs. FWIW, I agree with BJ, the CR belt is the ticket. As you can tell, I'm not brand loyal. I mix and match parts for a combination I feel works best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 The Xtreme's say "Fits all double stack magazines"... for single stacks, do these work? The CR's look good too, but expensive compared to the Safariland, unless someone knows a cheap place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 BarKim, I email Chris with the same question and he replied that he only stocked the high-caps. I went to Shooters Connection and found that there IS a single stack version available; SC’s price is higher than cpty1, and I’d rather buy form a fellow shooter, so I hope Chris can find them.

cpty1 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I appreciate the thought, but since I don't stock the single stack holders, you should order them from SC. Chuck is a good shooter (finished 5th overall, one spot ahead of me, at the recent TN Section match). He also does a tremendous job in supporting our sport with countless contributions to the RO and prize tables at many matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfrog Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Barkim, I am a new shooter (to IPSC) and am working out the kinks in my rig right now. I have the Safariland 771s and love them. The only thing I would recommend is the oversized tension screws. I don't have them, but I belive Arredondo sells them. It makes adjusting them in the field a snap.

n2299 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 For single stack mags, I prefer Safariland's 771 pouches. I love CR Speed's Versa pouches for double stack mags. And while they can be converted to accept single stack mags, I found that with the spacer in place the mags are not lined up in the center of the front opening. That makes it awkward to index the mags with my finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 All right all you Safariland aficionados, will they adjust to fit a 1 ½” belt? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2299 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 All right all you Safariland aficionados, will they adjust to fit a 1 ½” belt? Yeap. My 771 works just fine on my CR Speed 1.5" belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Kewl! Okay, why the 771 over whatever the other one that Brian sells? I lied, I really have two questions; how adjustable are they? This is great; I’ve been trying for DAYS to get some of these answers. Thanks! Ed PS I just went and checked; the "other one" Brian sells is the 773, a little shorter.

ErikW Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 In this thread, benos and I compare the 771 and 773. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2299 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 The main differences between the 771 and 773 are that the 771's front is open and the 773 is shorter. FWIW I feel that the 771's taller dimension is a little more secure at holding the 170mm 10 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwell Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I just got my safariland 771's a couple of weeks ago for my single stack. Wish that I would have got them sooner!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Rockwell, Yeah I got mine a couple of weeks ago too. With all due respect to Steve Anderson, Duane Thomas, et al they make a TREMENDOUS difference! Kydex mag holders have their place but that place isn’t on my competition belt. Now if I can just kick this flu that’s been hanging on for a couple weeks so I get out and practice! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Now if I can just kick this flu that’s been hanging on for a couple weeks so I get out and practice! After two weeks, it's probably not flu anymore! You might want to go see your doctor. Those secondary infections can linger a long, long time without treatment.

Flexmoney Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 With all due respect to Steve Anderson... In Steve's defense...I think you'll find that he doesn't advocate crappy equipment. He suggests that a shooter might consider equipment that works for them. (He is always after me to get a better holster.) Steve likes good equipment and good practice. He has used both to make it to Grand Master in two years. BTW, I just ordered some single-stack 771's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
