Nik Habicht Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Having just gotten the last of the components for a G17 open Glock using a Carver Scope Mount, I discover that it won't fit my CR Speed WSM Race Holster. Anyone know what will fit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hi Nik, Take a look at the Hogue PowerSpeed I don't know if it's as good as it's hype because I didn't buy one, but I did take a look at it when I was shopping for a skeletonized rig a while back (settled on a Limcat for my souper instead, but they don't hold Glocks). The PowerSpeed looks like it will allow just about anything to fit in it because it only holds the trigger guard. I haven't found anything negative about it in my research so far. But then again, I don't know of anyone using one either. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I have 2 buddies who both LOVE their Powerspeed holsters. They always put it in the semi-locked position after LAMR. Never use the full-race mode. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 What about the Limcat or Xtreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I have not seen any holster that will work without mods. The pinned Ghost and the CR will work if you cut them. The limcat should also work with some cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Matt, Thanks --- I'll break out the Dremel. I figured looking at the gun and pix of the various holsters that it might have to be a custom job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...I have used one for a while...and I've heard an earful from the start. Mine works fine on the long, flat, slab-side of my G35. I don't trust it much for a heavy 1911, however (of course, locked it will hold). And, it's a nogo for Open Glocks with optic mounts. (Should be fine for a Doctor/Optima mounted on the slide.)

Another Bill Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 For the life of me, your line: "Try a search here...there is plenty negative said about the Power Speed! " doesn't have a hot spot to click to. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Ya Know, Flex, I did a search on the Forums with "hogue", "powerspeed" & "power speed" and came up bupkus. Just a lot of stuff about Hogue grip inserts for Glocks, but nothing on the Hogue PowerSpeed holster except for this here thread. Show me the negative! (I really am interested in finding out more about this holster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Searching on magnets and magnetic (all forums) will net some results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 TL, I'm thinking bench grinder first --- dremel for cleanup.... I'll have to let you know how it goes... Last year after spending the better part of a grand on new camera flashes the first thing I did after opening the boxes, was to grind a clearance oval in the battery compartment door for the cable for the big batteries... I'm pretty sure that voided the warranty -- but AAs die too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Searching on magnets and magnetic (all forums) will net some results Still coming up pretty much bupkus with "magnet" "magnets" & "magnetic" The following thread is the only mention other than this one. Pretty anemic info so far, and nothing informative whatsoever. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...3087&hl=magnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Looks like the big thread on holster is lost. It was from way back in time. It was quite a few pages long, with a bunch of posts dogging the Hogue Power Speed. I bumped up a post that had a link(to the big holster thread)...maybe Brian can trace down the thread? Here are some other threads: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=power+speed http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=power+speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twix Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The Hogue works well for a Glock IF you use the lock for anything other than a stand and draw proposition. If you bump your gun without the lock on the odds are high that your gun will fall out. With the lock on, it is virtually impossible to knock it out. The lock itself is easily disengaged with your strong thumb as you grasp your gun for the draw. I have DQ'd with mine twice now by banging the gun without the lock on. I am currently using a more idiot proof B-T DAO. I may go back to the Houge if I start shooting Limited again. I did remove the rear portion of the lock, seemed to be in the way at the time I set it up. It can be a very fast holster. I don't see how it could work for a Carver mount on a Glock. It won't.

eric nielsen Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 On the Hogue: Pretend the magnets aren't there. Use the semi-race mode on ALL courses of fire. Hit the slide-lock with your thumb on the draw & you'll be fine. PS - I would never buy one, my Glock is ugly enough already. Very happy with the low-cut Helweg & CR Speed gear.

Nik Habicht Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 I successfully altered the CR Speed holster to take the G-17 with the Carver Mount. The few things learned: Make sure you set the white tension adjustment screw the way you want it before you start --- it will be virtually impossible to adjust it later, as the head will be ground off. Remove the metal hanger and its attachment point from the holster body --- unless you like to watch the cool sparks fly when you touch the maetal to Dremel or Bench Grinder. Really watch what you're doing then you're trimming the rail above the holster's trigger guard locking block --- you don't want to make this area too thin. Go Slow here. the holster material is very soft, the dremel will melt it in short order.... The bench grinder really helps for the big cuts.... Oh, Yeah, the final result's really ugly! But it works well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikidoGirl Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I was wondering if you could send some pics of the holster. I am getting ready to buy one for my daughter. Will that holster work with a G17 with a comp?? Thanks Mark Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHall Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Top Glock sells the PowerSpeed holster and has some pictures. Not sure if it is good or not, but they sell them. RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
