Duane Thomas Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 What holster you running for Glocks Duane? The same thing I've been carrying my concealment guns in for about the past ten years: Blade-Tech's straight drop Standard Belt Holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have 2 of the protoypes, and they are no different for competition, but allow you to holster eaiser sitting in a chair and in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Why would a holster that holds the gun lower be easier to stick a gun in when seated in a chair or car? I'd think it would be the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwx40x40 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Does it have a lower cutout on the front? Or is that an optical illusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 yeah front top looks cut out....less friction i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Why would a holster that holds the gun lower be easier to stick a gun in when seated in a chair or car? I'd think it would be the other way around. I think that was a misunderstanding. From the looks of it, it looks like it allows an easier draw compared to the original Blade-techs when seated. With the originals, you had to pull the gun straight up until the muzzle cleared the front of the holster. This one looks like it only requires you to pull it up a short distance before you can start to cant the gun (butt forward, muzzle back) while drawing, making it a little less awkward to draw while staying seated. I guess you could say the reverse is also true about reholstering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know they will custom build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMC Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) If its just a lower front opening I did that to both of mine. With long dust cover holsters you can really lower the front and the gun won't tip out because of the square dustcover. Works for both" 5 & 6" guns Edited March 12, 2010 by TMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehli Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Anybody know if the front is cut more than 1/2" below the ejection port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyE Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Anybody know if the front is cut more than 1/2" below the ejection port? I just got the "ice" holster for my 5" 2011 last week. It's cut right at 1/2" below the ejection port. The cutout is flared open and the gun can rotate forward inside the holster after being slightly lifted out of retention. Seems to be a good holster with the biggest advantage being easier draw from the seated position. I'll try to post some pics this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
