Alpha-X Holster
23 Aug 2018
Did not have a good experience with this holster. Ordered the insert for my Tanfoglio Limited along with the holster and the insert did not fit at all. Tried it on a friends Tanfoglio and same result. I contacted Customer Service to tell them I’m sending it back and to send me another one. I was told it may require some “modifications” to make it fit and that there is no “guarantee” that the next insert will fit properly. Considering the ridiculous price of this combination anyone purchasing this product would expect everything to fit properly and in working condition. Received the new insert and same result. It fits but it requires force to get it to lock. It has also worn the finish on my firearm trying to force it into the lock position. Not happy about any of it. I was considering ordering one for my Glock 17L but now I have changed my mind because I don’t want to go through the same issue again. How do you sell a “high quality” product and then expect the customer to have to modify it because the manufacturer can’t get it right. With that being said, once you “modify” the insert it can no longer be returned....not cool. [DAA Reply]: We are sorry to read you had such a negative experience. The issue is not a matter of our ability to fit the gun – but rather an inconsistency in the dimensions of the trigger guards on many gun models. Some gun manufacturers do not consider the outer dimensions of the trigger guard to be very critical, and so these are not tightly controlled by them, and are often finished by hand. Some guns will show a tolerance of 0.2-0.3mm or more in this area. Since our holsters requires a very precise fit to the trigger guard, we have no choice but to hold the dimensions tight – to fit the smallest of the frames we measure in one gun type or another. This leads to some customers having to custom fit their insert in order to get it to work well on their particular frame. And we always support these efforts as best we can. This is not something we can solve. We are very sorry to read this fitting issue lead you to reject the holster, which is today the leading holster in both IPSC and USPSA competition worldwide. A little fitting would have sorted it out for you.

PDR PRO-II

This is the third holster I’ve bought for my CZ Shadow 2 and it is my last. I had the Double Alpha Race Holster, as well as the BladeTech Speed Rig and I’ve lost count how many times my gun has fallen out of those for one reason or another. If you can’t trust your holster to retain your handgun, it starts to affect your concentration. Shot a Steel Match today using the PDR Pro-II for the first time and this holster is amazing, I never thought about the holster once wondering whether my gun was secure and shot my best match yet, go figure. Fully adjustable for height and cant as well as a retaining knob to tighten or loosen the holster on the gun. When the retaining knob is tight, there is nothing you can do to pull the gun from the holster, intentionally or unintentionally. A few quick turns to loosen and the gun slides out like butter. This holster is going to make me enjoy shooting IPSC again. I seriously can not recommend this holster enough.

Alpha-X / Race Master Insert Block

bought the insert for a Race Master to fit a Tanfoglio Gold Team open gun. I found it easy to install, it locks up tight but comes out like greased lightning when the beep sounds would definitely recommend this setup to anyone looking for a fast holster that is also very secure.

If you're looking to build a competition rig from scratch, you can't go wrong with CED's rig builder. It's nice that you get a price break using the rig builder than just buying each part or gear individually. The new model holster is smooth, looks great and light. The only thing is if you have a gas pedal like I do, you might get some scratches on the mount from drawing or holstering. The new mag pouches are pretty slick and cool idea how they can be mounted on the ball in different positions. Just make sure you really really really tighten the tension screw that holds the ball to the mag pouch itself. I've had the mag pouches come off when reloading or just straight fall off.

Alpha-X / Race Master Insert Block

I have the same issue with this as others have had. I am using this for a Gen 4 Glock and the fit is terrible. I had to remove a lot of material to get it to fit properly. I uderstood when ordering I would have to remove material upon ordering, but I never expected as much as had to be. After I got it to fit it still wouldn't go all the way down so the locking bar would lock. I had to again remove material from a different area to get it to lock. This created about a 1/4" of play when locked. It stays safely in the holster, but for the $50 cost it shouldn't require so much fitting in my opinion. Rating:
