I have not worked with a Blade Tech. Is the drop not adjustable? Could she not put the belt width spacer shim they use on top of the belt in the loop to raise the holster a bit? Do you think the local club MD will notice or care? I use Ready Tactical. You might contact Chris Patty at CPWSA and see how long it would take to have Chris Stewart make up a maximum drop IDPA Lady's rig. http://www.cpwsa.com/ready_tactical.htm The TRP has metal...

You can adjust cant with the holster but not drop. I did not hear my wife correct (common problem) I thought she said the drop was off by 2 inches but since I measured it the drop is 2 inches and that is close enough. I could also use the adjustments for belt width to raise it some but since that holster is for a pistol that does not fit her well I will probably have to get something else anyways. I was hoping I would hear from experienced...

When the difference between winning and losing is .12 seconds between shots or .15 can you really tell the difference? Stock means "Stock", for the love of Pete, get over it. You wouldn't carry a gun with a conversion barrel (not without a lick of common sense in your head anyway), why would you want to compete with one? Shoot what you carry. Dan

I challenge anyone to discern the difference in recoil between a G34 and a G35 with a conversion barrel with the same recoil spring and ammo. This was a bad call made by both IDPA and USPSA. I call your challenge, but with a Glock 23 and Glock 19. The difference in weight...

Hozer, that is correct. I'm just so used to seeing 'Ghost' holsters in open and Wilderness Tactical with Blade Techs in Production.

On 28-29 May Pikes Peak Practical Shooters will again host the Rocky Mountain Regional/Area 2 Steel Challenge. Just like last year, the match can be shot on either day. Friday after noon-ish and all day Saturday. Shooting it all in one day is easy and many did exactly that last year. Last year we gave away a lot of $$$ and a lot of guns. People that shoot it again this year will save $10 off their match fee. This year your match fee includes...

In cases like that, going from a 40 to a 9 in virtually the same gun, it might not make a tremendous amount of sense but they are trying to cover all possible bases where someone COULD find a possible advantage by swapping barrels between models. In their rulebook they talk about having lights on guns. Many people keep a gun with a light mounted on the frame for home defense but it COULD lend an advantage to someone who has it on their IDPA...

Can I use a 9MM conversion barrel in a .40 S&W? I have a full size M&P40 - would like to get a conversion barrel (just because I want one) - figured if I start shooting IDPA I could use it - but The rules seems to say NO - EXCLUDED Modifications: "6. A barrel of another caliber that is not offered in the original factory model" S&W sells a full size M&P in 9MM -does that count as an "original...
