Intro to IDPA Course, Sunday 6 Dec 2015

Nope. They call that a Sportster Standard CQC. Which is my go-to holster for IDPA.

May have to try to find one.

My point is, if I disable the finger activated lock, is that ok.

A couple of folks have asked about Serpa holsters. I don't allow them in this course - it's my rule. There is plenty of empirical data showing that Serpa holsters are associated with a higher number of NDs during training. This is especially true when the training involves fast draws under stress.

IDPA's rules state; "All retention devices on the holster must be used." and "Retention devices may be permanently removed or permanently disabled, but not temporarily disabled for a match."

If you permanently remove or permanently disable the index finger release on a Serpa holster, then that's OK by me and you can then use the holster in this course. Please note that the key word here is permanently.

Wish I could do it but traveling and just a little short on notice.

Live and learn. It's always a case buying stuff then 24 hours later learn it's verboten. I'll eat the restock fee.. and try later.

What pistol did you buy it for?

Sig P226. I'm not a pro or tacticool guy, but I did not find my finger going near the trigger when I pulled, and my finger is straight against the gun above the trigger. I'd never even wear it for a "real" situation , so the argument of zoning out etc. under duress wouldn't apply. It really does not scare me shooting at paper. I can get a different holster, not a problem. You have one to suggest that isn't a mint to buy? One has suggested a bladetech, maybe this one?

I liked the holster a friend lent me when I did my CCW thing, but that thing was over a C note.

You can't go wrong with a bladetech revolution. Cost effective, adjustable and reliable. I use one for my Glocks.

Thanks.

By the way, do you throw that Glock at the target?

I'm going to close the signup for this 6 Dec 2015 course tonight at midnight - course is limited to three attendees. So far, I have the following as desiring to attend if there is a slot for them:

Blaster229

If I have missed someone, or any of the above are listed in error, please let me know. If anyone else desires to attend this specific course date, please reply to his thread by midnight tonight (Thursday, 3 Dec 2015). If there are more than three who desire to attend, I'll do a random selection to determine the three attendees. I'll then contact these three by PM with further details.

Like I said before the Blackhawk Sportster Standard is as good as any holster I have and I also have one of those $100 jobs. Less than 20 bucks on Amazon....

Of course mine fits a Glock so your mileage may vary

 

[CSJ]

I'd like to participate if possible. I read a lot of positive reviews from your last class.

I hope you do this again. I'd love to attend but can't make Sunday, even if a space was available.

 

[CATMdude]

I just ordered a bladetech holster for my 229 from amazon, should be here on Saturday. I also checked my bin o' holsters and found a non-serpa holster for my 224. So, I'm in. Looks like the weather will be nice. Looking forward to it if I get selected.

 

[Chasbo00]

Alternates for the 6 Dec class
4 Tactics
5 hogarth

PMs sent to the three selected for class. If any of the three selected can't attend, the slot will be offered to the alternates in the order listed.
