Looking for a cheaper holster.
 
I did a quick search and I didn't find anything.

I'm looking for a holster that will fit a glock 17/18 with an x300 light. I'd really like not to spend $100.00+ for one.

Anyone know of any cheaper holsters that might do the trick?

Thanks,
Jeff

Crye Precision GunClip. $48.90USD.

Fits with or without suppressor.
Fits with or without any type of weapon mounted light.

I just ordered this holster for my Glock from Huang:

He's got it in olive, tan and multicam as well, minus the drop-leg rig.

Thanks for this link.

While waiting for my TM G17 in the mail, I've been watching the threads pop up on the forum as other people receive theirs and ask about holsters. This is the nicest and most compact solution I've seen posted yet.

That said -- this will definitely fit a TM G17 snugly, correct? Should I at all be worried about how secure it is?

I personally don't know, as I haven't tried. I have a few buddies who got the CP GC, and they love it.

As for worrying about security - I wouldn't worry about security. Once it snaps shut, the gun isn't going anywhere, even if it's wobbly. With that said, I've heard people mention TM Glock frames being slightly wider than real steel (I can not corroborate as I've no personal experience), so it may actually a bit more snug, if anything.

Worst case scenario: hit the offending areas with a file. I think it's an awesome solution and worth the effort.

I like that it can rotate 360 and mount anywhere without any additional hardware. Very minimalist but, I guess what they say is true, sometimes less is more.

Thanks for your link Cadpat. I was thinking I'd have to end up going universal too until I saw the Crye Precision GunClip... I wonder how bad duty and shipping would be?

cadpat_tact December 29th, 2011 20:35

Speaking of shipping, I just got my holster in the mail today :D

Totally adjustable as advertised, but very cheap quality nylon. A lot of fraying (now fixed by my lighter)

MaciekA December 29th, 2011 20:52

Alright.. I think I'm going to try the Crye GunClip.. If anyone is patient and sitting on the fence, I will gladly review it and take some pictures or whatever, and do some stress tests.

I've beaten the crap out of one of those for nearly 2 years with a desert eagle in it ... once you get it set to the pistol it's great... I basically cinched it down as tight as I could and left the pistol in it for a week, going back to check/retighten it every day or two

Styrak December 29th, 2011 22:18

If you go too cheap like some cloth holsters, you run the risk of losing your pistol. Personally I'll never use a cloth holster for any of my pistols (unless I have something like a Desert Eagle, which doesn't fit in anything) because the possibility of it coming out with only a small cloth strap holding it in is too high.

Pay a little more now for a good holster, or pay a lot more for another pistol later.

I order a fair bit of knife making stuff (ok, paracord and Kydex sheets, plus hardware) from the US, if it's under $100 you shouldn't get dinged for taxes or duty/brokerage. Last order I got was around $78USD total, and I just picked it up at CP and walked out. Previous orders over $100 I have to pay about $26 brokerage and taxes.

Shipping, don't go cheap and choose USPS, likely take up to three weeks to get it, go with FedEx or whatever carrier they offer you. For something that's $50USD and small, likely shipping and duty/brokerage (if any) shouldn't be much more than $40. If I placed an order for $50 and went FedEx expensive, it'd likely cost me about $20-25 for shipping, BUT, I'd have it in a day or two.

Yea the Gunclip is a great setup. I was planning to get one for my new TM glock 17. Do you guys order straight from CP or from some other place?

Shirley December 30th, 2011 00:21

I was going to buy one too, but it's such a hassle when transitioning from rifle to pistol and then back, you would need to open and close the clip.
Also, it's hard to speed draw on pressure.

spartan117 December 30th, 2011 00:34

Here's a good video on the draw.

Anyone kwos a holster that would fit in a CZ 75 ?

Shirley December 30th, 2011 01:41

Have you tried "cz 75 holster" on google? lol

MaciekA December 30th, 2011 11:58

Embarrassed to say this since I thought I had a pHd in Internet Shopping, but I can't seem to get Crye's order form to set Canada as a shipping destination even though their site otherwise appears to mention that it ships internationally.

MaciekA January 3rd, 2012 20:05

Is anyone able to select Canada/Ontario on the Crye website as a shipping address with the Crye GunClip in your cart?

Fritz January 3rd, 2012 20:38

I tried too but it looks like they don't ship out of US.
You should email there customer service.

after reading many reviews, a few will say the fobus is quite ok for the price... and then you have all the others stating their horrible experience with them.

also, KSC/KWA's CZ is a "pre-B" model. Different trigger guard, and some small stuff here and there. Holsters for more recent variants may or may not fit. I'm in the same boat as you Criollo!

Done and done. Here's the reply I got from Bethany at Crye Precision.

Quote:

Yes, we can ship internationally but you have to order through me instead of the website.

For payment on international orders, we only accept Wire Transfers or Credit Cards issued in the US. There will be an additional fee of $50 for all wire transfer payments. Shipping to Canada costs about $60.

D'oh!

Maybe I should order several to make it worth it...

lurkingknight January 4th, 2012 09:04

or get a friend from the states to order it, shipped to them, then you pay your friend to ship it to canada... probably would cost less than 150 bucks that they're asking for wire transfer and shipping.

Anyone who's looking for holsters for hard to fit sidearms can message me. I need you local (GTA), so I can prototype the fit and do the final fitting. I will make them out of 9-10oz leather, but am considering doing some kydex as well.

This is an R&D project, so cost is limited to materials and a very small charge for time .

Wow, awesome to know someone is up to this sort of thing in the GTA. Do you have similar previous work you can share ?

MadMorbius January 4th, 2012 20:28

I used to work with tactical nylon for years. Gave it up, impossible to compete with China. Now I work with leather as a hobby. I've made mostly western / cowboy gunbelts.

Here's one I just finished:

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/y...-21-24_462.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/y...-17-12_693.jpg

This is a western style holster for a Vaquero or Colt SAA 5.5", in 9-10oz leather lined with non chrome-treated suede. The belt is a busquadero "drop" belt single/right with 30 loops for 45LC/45-70 Gov.

Sorry, here's some photos that might better illustrate the product:
