NOT good for IDPA, USPSA Single-Stack Division, or Production Division. May be O-K for PPC if moved/mounted so as to enable you to lay prone. Also good for full-size 1911's with .22 LR conversions for OBRAMS.

Best advice I can give is to just show-up without a holster and start from the "low-ready" position. Hang-out with the guys who know what to buy, and buy what you're told to get that really works, instead of spending coin you don't have to on stuff you won't use once you shoot a match and talk to others.

yes it will be for the 6''

 

Do you want it just for steel or are you planning to come out to the USPSA matches too? I'm not sure if that one from Dawson will adjust for a 6". I checked and Bladetech does have some models for that gun. I would still call them just to male sure you order the right one.

 

If you are going to shoot USPSA you would be in either single stack or limited 10 division with that gun. No 1911's in production. Single stack you can't use the drop offset attachment, limited 10 you can. If it's just for steel, get whatever you want.

If you are thinking of IDPA, in addition to the others, the Blade-Tech DOH (drop, offset holster) is not legal for IDPA. That component of the holster can be removed and it would then be legal for IDPA (the DOH is fine for USPSA). One other caveat: Your 6" 10mm 1911 may not be suitable for either USPSA or IDPA due to its size and weight. It must fit into the respective discipline's boxes and I believe the weight limit for both is 43 oz with empty magazine. NOTE: No size or weight restrictions in USPSA Limited and Limited 10.

 

Unless you handload, you are really putting yourself at a disadvantage shooting 10mm even with the Glock (which would make weight & size limits). With either gun Limited or Limited 10, major would probably be your best bet in USPSA. In IDPA, with the Glock, you would find yourself in SSP or ESP and in either you would be competing head-to-head with minor caliber guns (9mm).

 

I don't shoot steel, so I'm sure there will be some input from steel shooters that may be relevant to your quest.

 

You may want to attend a match, just to observe and ask questions. Good luck.

 

Adios,

Oops...forgot about the "box". Looks like you will be in limited 10. Good thing you picked up those 10 round mags. So a bladetech with the drop offset will be fine. Or you can get one of them fancy race holsters like Alec. Not necessary at all though.

 

Pizza bob, it's a .45.

I just purchased the New DAA Production Division Race (PDR) Holster is Specifically Tailored for Production Division USPSA Shooters! from Dawson. I am not 100% happy with it. But it was the only thing i could find in stock for my Sig P226. I may have to wait 5 weeks for the bladetech. I plan on using it for Action and USPSA.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
