Competition Holster BS for IDPA, USPSA, & 3Gun

The Competition Holster BS is perfect for IDPA, USPSA, and 3Gun action shooting matches, general range use, or everyday carry. The low cut front allows the pistol to clear the holster faster and get on target sooner. If you measure time by the hundredths of a second this is the holster you want on your side.

The -BS edition features a Wilson Combat 1.5″ belt slide. Some people say the BS designation is because it’s like cheating having a holster this fast. You decide.

This helps distribute the weight better and provides a simpler belt attachment. It is cant adjustable. The BS edition is currently only available for the 5″ 1911 without rail. Other pistol models may be available in the future. Check out the Competition Holster page for other pistols.

Dual retention screws, most models, lets you fine tune the draw effort and feel. You can make this as secure as you want. Adjustment are made with a common Phillips screwdriver meeting the most stringent IDPA requirements.

A fully enclosed trigger guard meets all competitive sports rules and recommendations of most professional trainers. As with any rules and competition it is best to check the most recent requirements.

The low cut front is a popular feature. It allows you to clear the holster faster and get your muzzle pointed downrange sooner.

Our design meets the rules criteria for both IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association)  and USPSA (including Production Division) as well as many other shooting competitions. If you are not an IDPA or IPSC shooter you should look into them. Both are very welcoming to new shooters and great way to improve your skills.

Other custom belt attachment methods are available such as the Safariland QLS & ELS. Bladetech Tek-Lok, and GCode RTI. We can even custom mold a holster to your preferred belt attachment. Vistit the Belt Accessory Page or just contact us.

A flared opening is added for safety and ease. This allows the shooter to holster the pistol easily without the need to point the muzzle at themselves to get it started into the holster. Muzzling yourself in IDPA, USPSA, or in general is forbidden.

Order the single color or two-tone model. The single color uses only the Base Color Option. When ordering the dual color model select the inside Base Color then the outside shell wrap color. You will also need to choose an edge reveal for two tone competition holsters. Single layer holsters should choose flush. Two-tone dual layer competition holster can choose any option. The bevel is tapers the outer layer in most visible areas and adds a nice polished transition to the inner layer. This is our most popular option just beating out the Thin Blue Line (TBL) reveal. The Thin Blue Line reveal was originally made just for our Law Enforcement customers but we had such a demand we added it as a option for everyone, in every color nad kept the name.  This is roughly an 1/8 inch set back on the outer layer letting more of the inner layer be visible. Bevel and TBL are not possible on single layer holsters, though the system will let you pay for it.

We have added the option to choose your sweat shield coverage. Sometimes call a shirt guard, the sweat shield is the part of the holster between the rear of the slide and your body. Low cut is the shortest and typically ends just above the belt attachment point. The full is the tallest, covering most of the slide. Different slide profiles and grips will vary just how much is covered on the full option. If you are a high thumbs forward gripper any sweat shield will work. Low thumbs forward grippers tend to like the low shield coverage. LOW is the most common option.

As a long time IDPA shooter (A054xx) and life member of USPSA (L26xx) we have heard that beep many times. We have also seen shooters held back because their holster was not suitable. I look forward to seeing you at the next competition.

The Accessory Spare Parts Kit includes: 2 thumb screws, 1 threadlocker, 1 mounting screw, 1 mounting post, 1 tension screw, 1 tension post, 1 rubber spacer. Great to keep in your range bag just in case.
