24/7 USPSA holster recommendations...

You might can find a blackhawk serpa around here for your 24/7 but I wouldn't recommend those for competition use. Most production shooters around here are running Blade-tech dropped off-set holsters. Blade-tech does offer a holster for your 24/7, but I would expect at least a months wait to get it.

I started out using a comp-tac belt holster and mag pouches made specifically for my gun. Their turn around time is pretty quick, and they offer a "kit" for 100$. Comes with a holster and one double mag pouch made for your gun. Comp-tac makes good stuff, and I liked the holster a lot. If you are just getting in to it, and are just feeling things out to see what you like and what you need, the comp-tac setup is a good way to start.

The most common setup you will see around here for production shooters is a blade-tech dropped off-set holster, CR speed Belt, and 4-5 CR speed versa mag pouches. That setup will run you in the 300$ range. I personally would wait until you have shot some matches and have an idea of what you want and need before jumping all the way in to that. The great thing about the CR speed mag pouches is that they are basically universal, and can be adjusted to fit the mags for all the common guns you see in USPSA production.

If you wanted the absolute cheapest you can get, You could probably find a fobus holster and mag carriers online, and that would tide you over.

The blade-tech IDPA pack/combo kit would work well, but I'm not sure what the lead time on those is like. If it's their injection molded stuff, then it might be pretty quickly, but since lead time isn't an issue, that would be a great choice. Me personally? I would still choose the comp-tac over the blade-tech for this reason. The holsters are not really an issue, they might as well be the same. They both have straight drop/neutral cant, and are made from kydex. The mag pouches however, I prefer Comp-tac's design over blade-techs. Because I feel like I personally get a better grab on the magazines from comp-tacs design than I do from pouches designed similarly to blade-tech's. Comp-tac is cut lower, and the way the pouches are built, it's easier (at least for me) to get better control of the magazine before actually pulling it out of the pouch. YMMV

I still buy factory ammo, but most people who do it regularly reload. Even buying cheap WWB, you can still do way better rolling your own. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm still upgrading equipment lol.

Monthly USPSA match at Magnolia is this Sunday August 7th. Feel free to come out and watch.

Shooting I think starts at 8 for this month due to the heat. We usuall start at 9 though.
