OK, the rules have changed, many seem to think that it sucks. Lets try to be optimistic for a minute and do some brain storming. Without beating on the concept of the rules changing what are some of the holsters out there that ARE NOW IDPA legal and manufactured for the XD's??
I am personally a Blade-tech man, own an IWD and a belt holster for all 3 of my XD .40's EXCEPT my 5" which is my favorite IDPA gun.
What else meets the new requirements??
I know that the new rules suck and all, but I live in a very heavily concentrated IDPA area, none of the similar sports are options, which sucks, but I opened saying lets look on the bright side. The bright side is that I can shoot 4 IDPA matches a month in the summer driving less than an hour to each and can ick up two more if I am willing to drive another 20 minutes!! That is concentrated if their is such a thing. AND I get to watch a good half dozen plus Masters, and just as many Experts (I am NEITHER of those :wink: but I still have fun shooting, and even more when I am shooting one of my XD's, or my SA 1911.
I am hoping to come up with a shopping list for a holster that would be IDPA legal, AND good to use for it, plus maybe expanding my horizons and discovering something I overlooked and a new carry holster in the process!!
After years (Not many of them, but years!) of searching holsters I had finally thought I had hit the jack pot with the blade techs. Sure they were expensive, but they met all my needs. When I bought a new gun, I ordered two blade-techs and was done with it.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
