Just wondering if anybody has tried one of these out?

I saw that. My first thought was if you are gonna go with a ghost type holster go all out

Is the Ghost forgiving on the draw? Like with a CR Speed, your draw doesnt have to be perfectly in line when drawing so it more forgiving on the draw. My speedsec and Limcat holster were like that, if it wasnt in a perfect line while drawing it would get caught or feel kind of weird.

Right, I'd be concerned with it falling forward.
With the Ghost type holsters the gun is locked in rather than just a friction fit.

like bumping the grip of the gun and having it come out the front?

yes or stopping quickly from a run.
There's just not a lot of material in the front to keep it from tipping forward.
You're depending solely on the friction in the trigger guard.

Ok, well Troy is out of service right now, so any other recommendations on kydex? 3-gun primarily, and adjustable retention.

jtischauser · Apr 23, 2012

For 3 gun you want at minimum a blade tech with 3 gun stiff tension knobs. Several guys use Blackhawks BladeTech or other holsters with actual retention locks. I can crank mine down almost to the point it can't be drawn.

The knobs from 3gunstuff? k, anybody ever tried the PDR holster from DAA?

Chambers · Apr 23, 2012

Pistol draws are just about the least important skill at a 3 gun match.

Choose retention over speed, but you can have both in a nice kydex holster.

does anybody prefer a "belt ride" or "raven concealment type" over say a doh type of holster? just asking opinions, this would be mostly for gaming stuff, so im not worried about concealment or any jazz like that.
