Hi All,

I am waiting for the DROS to clear for my new Kimber Gold Cup 45 Auto. I want to use this pistol for combat and 3 gun shoots. What make and style do you recommend? I read the IOW post but when I visited the web sites there are several models and I am not sure what I need. I want to be able to draw the pistol quickly but I am not trying to conceal it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Jim

  Mr Lobo,

  Lobo, take a peek at the Hogue Powerspeed holster. I have one for a Para P-14 that I am playing with. It is quite a nice piece though a little spendy. Good Luck

  Bikrprchr, that is one cool looking holster.is there a portion of the holster that goes into the trigger guard? Have you seen any wear on your pistol from this type of holster?
  
  Airborne, nice looking holster, I am curious about the top strap design and how it stays in place. I don't see any snap.
  
  Thanks to both of you for your help!

  Mr Lobo,
  
  The strap has a slot cut in it that fits over the hammer. You can remove the strap, as it has a snap on the back side to remove, and carry without the strap, which is what I do on many ocassions.

  Mr. Lobo, it is hard to get a visual, but the trigger guard slips into a notch in the holster, and the lock tab can be slid down to engage it. Kind of a sliding bolt lock if you will. As for wear, none as the pistol is against the polymer type material. It does not touch the magnets that hold it in place as they are slightly below the surface. My pistol is stainless, but I would think it should be easy on a blued weapon as well since there are many of them used in competition as well. Good luck.
