I've been looking over at Walther Forums at their dedicated thread but didn't find the information particularly helpful. A lot of the information in that thread seems to be dedicated to concealment holsters. I'm looking for an OWB type holster I could use for IDPA should I so choose. Are there any PPQ owners here who have a recommended holster they own or know of?

I think my OWB holster would be approved as an IDPA Holster Ask Maksim about it I think he intends to use the one he got from me during there shooting Match. I am at mackenzieholsters.com

I ordered a PPQ OWB holster from Mackenzie. I used it in USPSA today with no issues. I haven't shot IDPA yet but plan to with the PPQ.

 

The fit on the Mackenzie holster is good. The only issue is the belt loops are kind of big for my belt so there was a bit of play but that is easily resolved by getting a slightly wider belt. It is better to have loops a bit bigger than smaller.

Bladetech now makes holsters for the ppq. You can call them if it isn't listed on the website

Here's my .40 PPQ in the new Blade-Tech holster.

 

 

 

Which model Blade-Tech is that? That is not legal for IDPA or USPSA - Production.

 

IDPA - You have the DOH (drop/offset component) in place. This can be removed and the holster mounted directly to the belt attachment which would be OK for IDPA, except that the holster itself is not legal for IDPA because of the low-cut front. IDPA specifies that the holster can be cut no more than .5" below the ejection port.

 

USPSA - DOH is acceptable for USPSA Production, but there is a similar rule (to IDPA) about how low the front of the holster can be cut - in this case, USPSA specifies no more that 1.5" below the breach-face. This is for production division. The holster would be acceptable for Limited ot Limited 10 divisions.

 

Not sure about steel, someone that shoots static or knockdown steel will have to chime in.

 

The good news is that Blade-Tech, obviously, now has the dummy-gun to mold the Kydex for the PPQ, so I'm sure their standard models (IDPA and/or USPSA compliant) will also be available. And as indicated in another thread on the forum, the PPQ is now on USPSA's approved Production division list - just get the correct holster for what you want to shoot.

 

Adios,

Thanks Pizza Bob.. i don't currently shoot IDPA or USPSA, so I don't know their rules, but I wanted to show that blade-tech was able to produce something for those who are Blade-tech fans.

That's the "Speed Rig D/OS" holster, right? I just checked Blade Tech's site and they still don't list the PPQ. Did you call in a special request or something?

I just purchased a Serpa( I know, dangerous) for a p99 that fits the ppq real well

Just call Blade-Tech. They probably have not yet updated their website. I've dealt with Tara there.

Yes, i called and they made it. If you call talk with Rory, shes been a big help.

 

Actually, I just returned the speed rig i posted pics of. I didn't feel the gun sat well in the holster. It had too much play and felt as if i could easily knock it out of the holster, so, to me, i wasn't happy with it. I emailed them to return, explained why and was easy as can be. I did an exchange for the competition kit with mag pouches. Hopefully they will have the mold down and i get better retention.
