If its already been posted a thousand times, I'm sorry... But here it goes!
I have just received my Glock 34 from Questar, AWESOME!!! is all I can say. Once I feel comfortable & competent with it. I may go try for my black badge. My question are: #1 What is a good holster for the Model 34 in IPSC competition?(hoping some uses this pistol or similiar can enlighten me.)
#2 How big a part does body size play, when choosing a holster?I'm 6' 2", 180lbs, 'knuckle dragger'.
#3 How many magazines are required or suggested to compete?
Thanks inadvance for all answers & smart remarks (I'm sure...):D
 
...My personal favourite is the Speedsec 5CW (see link above to CRAFM) I have one for the Glock 17 and it's nice...

Number of mags...one more than the number of mag pouches...I'd suggest that 4 pouches and 5 mags are the minimum...and Glock mags are pretty cheap so the more the merrier (less charging of mags)

There are plently of choices (Ghost, Bladetech and the list goes on...)

Cheers
 
If you can get a Bladetech DOH that will be nice and uncomplicated for starting out in IPSC and not break the bank either and take the money you save and put it into ammo for practice for the course or extra mags.
6 foot two and 180, you might only have room for 5 mags on your belt anyways do not take offense, this is from a 6 foot three 180 lb almost knuckle dragger and i also shot for 4 years with a 1st gen G17 in IPSC.

You really need to eat your way into 6.... for the really long courses of fire
 
I'm flipping back & forth between CGN & the holster sites right now. Gotta admit the Blade Tech holster with the 4 mag well pouch looks pretty nice for the money. But I really don't know much about a quick draw holster with regards to cant & offset. The blade Tech looks like it is used on your pants belt. Where the Speedsec 5CW looks like it uses a seperate belt & not to sound too retarded, but looks like rig for someone who actually knows what their doing on the course. Going to checkout Ghost holsters later.

many of use a competation belt with all sorts of different holsters. we do this for a number of reasons but the two most common ones is that it allows you to take your belt off and your gear stays in the same spot. it is also convient for lunch or pit stops.
 
They both can go on the same way. The Speedsec has to be slid on....while the BT DOH with Tek-Lok can be snapped on and adjusted. Either one would be great.
 
If you're relatively new to the sport, I'd highly recommend the BladeTech DOH holster as well...It's very, very easy to draw your pistol from, secures the pistol nicely when holstered (always a worry to newcomers), and the holster is easy adjusted to suit. Safariland make a reasonably priced inner and outer competition belt to hang the holster on, as well as very nice mag pouches for your G34's mags. Avoid anything that has FOBUS written on it like the plague.
I presume you're going to be shooting in Standard Division?
 
Was on the Ghost Holster site showed a thigh rig. Are these used or are they not practical for IPSC? Most of the holsters I've looked at seem to worn at about belt/hip height & this holster did appear more tactical in use, as it had safety loop mechanism to release gun from holster. This part of the holster seems useless to me in this sport, but the lower postion of the pistol against my thigh would seem to me to be more of a natural draw (due to bloody knuckles dragging on ground!) Tell me, am I way off base or is this another consideration to make when I purchase a holster?

As I am new to the sport, I would indeed stick to the standard division, if a stock G34 is no problem in this division. I feel that I am not quite ready to challenge Black Badge yet. As the glock models are new to me & I would consider myself a competent pistol/revolver shooter. But I think I will spend time with this gun at the range this winter & familiarize myself with it & learn to shoot consistantly with it. Then when the accurracy goes up and I feel confindent with it, I will commit to taking course. Plus its too darn cold right now!
 
If you are going to "practise" before taking a Black Badge Course, I would highly recommend that you take a few lessons before. one of the most frustrating things as an instructor is to have to spend 16 hours correcting bad habits that a shooter has taught himself in getting ready to take the BB course. Normal mistakes are bad grips, bad stance and bad sight picture.
 
Something that helped me was the Matt Burkett DVD(s),...How to practice, and How to shoot faster. They are not too expensive, and go over basics including grip, stance, gear positioning, etc...
You can watch them over and over, ....basically like getting a lesson when ever you watch them...

-Noted, & I will look into instructors in Trenton/Kingston area. I'm new to area, but have met a few guys at the club & I think their into IPSC shooting (not sure, met shooting sporting clays). They may know.

Thigh Rigs and tie downs are specifically not permitted in IPSC. Waist belt style is the only option.

We, of course - sell CR Speed Holsters and mag pouches; while it sounds like you want a more "tactical" version of holster than the race version that the CR WSM offers, the mag pouches (both in single and double ) and belts may be of interest to you.

I have in stock Matt's DVDs and also DVDs from Saul Keirsch..Matt's are good but Saul's are just awesome and the other item you might consider is a book by J. Michael Plaxco "Shooting from Within" a book that is as good today as the day it was published...as well I carry Ghost Holsters and mag pouches and with the combination with C/R belt (in my opinion the best belt on the market) you will have one of the best set up for the money.

As far as practising before you take you black badge? I would recommend that you practice on the bulls eye concentrating on you front site and trigger control, you will be getting proper instructions from you Black Badge instructor this way you will not have to brake any bad habits.

If you want to keep expenses down and get a pseudo-tactical holster, get the Blade-Tech DOH. If you want to spend a bit more, get a CR Speed holster for your G34. It's a very versatile "race" holster with a superb locking system that will give you confidence right away. With a few minor adjustments, the CR Speed holster for your G34 can be used with other Glock models and the Springfield XD series of pistols. It also has a greater range of adjustment to suit your physique than the B-T DOH holster.
Get some range time in first with your new G34...it's a great choice to start off with in IPSC Standard Div.
Don't worry about being a total rookie when it comes to the BB course....a good BB instructor will get you off on the right foot right OOTB. ;)
 
For belt, CR-Speed,..I really don't see any need to get any other belt.
Mag pouches,..personal preference,...but you could always get the Cr-speed mag pouches in Black...."tactical black".;)
 
I shoot G34 in standard and use a ghost holster and 5 guga mag pouches ,if your going into IPSC then look at the best quality that you can afford or you will be spending money twice.
And it doesn't matter how tall you are as the holster has to sit so the but of the gun is no higher than your waist or belt line in standard division.
And you will be scored minor for your G34 but ho cares just have fun and just shoot more A's Go to the IPSC CANADA site and look closely over the rules!
