Thread: My Introduction to pistol shooting

Yup, good holster.
The only thing wrong with it is sometimes when I draw the foresight scrapes a bit off the holster and it sits on the sight. Can be a bit distracting but only seems to happen when I rush the draw.

Sometimes it's nice to go the range for IPSC, sometimes just to plink. Getting your B is quite easy, just slow.

I love my CR Speed WSM II easy to get it to sit where it's most comfortable and smooth to draw from.
Only negative is some courses where you need to crawl through or under shit, have never been caught up in anything but the potential is higher than the paddle style enclosed holsters

Quite like the Double Alpha PDR Pro have one for Shadow and also one for a XDM.
Tried the PDR low ride for the XDM and didn't like it so swapped for another PDR Pro, think the lowrides you have to wear them in or something with lining. They're quite different holsters, The PDR pro has quite a few adjustments and hangs out so you can get an easy grip onto pistol.

One observation, DA holsters are popular with Grand Masters in NZ , it's more about how you shoot.

Plus I had my PDR set out too far from the hip, only after it was pointed out by a friendly RO did I adjust it so it sits snug next to my belt now.

Ordered a CZ75SP01 Shadow with the Double Alpha PDR Pro Holster.

So shortly I'll be all set to get back into the IPSC game.

Thanks for the feedback on the Holsters.

Cheers

Great choice on pistol!
Cant comment on holster, i'm using a CR Holster -
CR Speed Model 2000

Dont like the tit up the barrel, but apart from that all good. Bit a performance getting the shimes right in the beginning, but sinnce then no issues, great to draw from - but i'm also hopeless at speed..... and accurate shooting......

Yeah I broke mine off during a 3 gun course where we had to crawl through a long tunnel while shooting, have a wooden dowel in the meantime, need to find another 9mm one, what calibre are you?

9mm

Have a mate with a 3d printer, so was thinking i could get someone to draw one - or maybe one that just cups around instead, and get him to print one. Can also buy from SA

Get it - but if your importing, get the option for the wrap around barrel thingy, instead of the tit thingy (not that i dont like tits, etc...)

Na. Not importing as postage makes it worth buying here.
Yup wrap around thingy on the one I'm getting.
Wanted the Ghost stinger like I have for my shadow but none in stock anywhere.

Link?

I really have a dislike for putting things, and in particular plastic, up the end of a warm/hot barrel - so could be keen on seeing if anyone has the cup thing in nz.
