David Balthazar Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Looking for a new set of competition style holsters, ones that primarily facilitate holstering and retention. My experience with some of these other "speed rigs" is the feeling the barrel gets in, but not the frame, forcing me to look (which I try never to do). I think this is due to the cylinder being mostly exposed? Are there any models that deliver competition features but are a bit more stable when you drop 'em in? Maybe the holster opening "yawns" a bit more? Thank you-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totes Magoats Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The LH-09 rigs from Kirkpatrick leather have an adjustment screw/tension system that allows you to set the holster/pistol retention to your liking. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Red, SASS #71733 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Another for Doc Noper. It's a nice compromise between secure retention and ease of draw. BTW, I always look them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Holiday Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I went with Reddog Leather. Easy out, easy in and they stay in. They have a tension screw as well. I'm really happy with my rig so far but I haven't tried too many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Balthazar Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 I like the look of the Reddog Quickdraw. Is that what people are using here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had and sold his FastDraw holsters, they were well made. When you message him make sure to tell him you are going to use it for SASS/CAS and not CFDA. He'll tweak it for this sport so the holsters have more retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Some time back I purchased one of Kirkpatricks latest LH style sets with the 'adjustable screw' feature despite seeing a few complaints about them being too tight. After receiving them I did think that they were actually made to tight in the throat for the guns I had specified, even with the screws removed completely. This, along with sharp cylinder faces, is what would cause the throat damage that is often seen on some almost new holsters. The fix was easy for me, I had a new pair of Ruger 22SSs that were a perfect fit. There were enough complaints going around at that time that I hope this would have been corrected by now but??? Soon after I bought a like new pair of the same models used that do fit my Colt clones perfectly??? These are actually very much made to be competitively cut down and I have not seen anyone lose a gun from them. DO NOT get very freaky with the cant angles and you should not have any problems with any of the popular models actually dropping pistols,as I am sure any such tendencies would have surfaced quickly and been addressed quickly. I have actually dumped pistols before and they were from the same holster both times, I tend to be pretty thick headed some times. That holster was a cart holster that was promoted as great for a starter holster, these were usually referred to as buckets. They did work fine as long as you did not attempt to pick up brass or otherwise bend over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
