There's been some discussion this off season regarding production holsters, pros/cons and if they fall within the 2" rule.
I received my "BOSS" holster hanger today which is designed to work with Bladetech holsters, also sold as a set. To date, I had used a Bladetech with their DOH attachment, tried a Ghost and another I can't remember the name. I was not super content with any but settled on the Bladetech; after taking a torch to the DOH piece to straighten it, removing the outward cant and actually making it production legal. The Ghost was a decent holster, but the damn thing had so many adjustment points even after loctiting the heck out of it, it still moved around. I had to put reference marks on it to make sure I was always consistent, which was a task in itself.
So fast forward to this afternoon and I received this new combo, and with very little dry fire I really like it. The "hanger" is metal, solid, not plastic, nothing in the way to jam your thumb like the Bladetech. It is adjustable in that you can raise/lower the gun vertically, and adjust the gun angle forward/backwards. Unlike the ghost those, once its in position it stays there.
Getting it a day before a match is not ideal, but after getting it set up I'm not sure I even consider it a change. Still a BT holster, still production legal, still sits like the old DOH attachment, just nothing in the way of your thumband it's solid. Pretty much did not change my draw at all.
So let the nut hugger comments commence, but I bet you'll start seeing a lot of production guys use these.
