3Gun Pistol Mechanical or Tension Retention

[CBR]

Sporting an XDM9 5.25. Looking for input on holster. Mechanical or tension retention pro's and con's.

You're going to want something you can run with. I've been using a 3X-Crown for my 2011 that fits closely, and with the tension adjusted quite a bit. Even with that though, I would find myself holding my pistol while running. But I plan on using my Glock from now on, so I got a Safariland 6377. It provides a fast draw with mechanical retention. A very fast draw.

The ALS holsters are nice

I use a Triple Crown, but I always hold my pistol while running because I'm paranoid.

Both.

Went with the Blade-Tech level 2. Triple Crown was more than willing, but I went with mechanical retention. Thanks all.
