I purchased the Glock 19
"I purchased the Glock 19 Velocity OWB holster but I use it for my Ruger RXM (Glock Clone) and it fits perfectly. I've been training a lot with the combo and have shot one match so far. I finished middle of the pack but the holster certainly did its part perfectly. As usual, the shooter was the problem not the equipment :) I can dial in the retention I want and still get a smooth release when drawing. The holster looks great on the Blade-Tech competition belt and the Tek-Mount lets me dial in the perfect height and cant. The whole system operates flawlessly and I have five competition guns all set up on it. The Blade-Tech mounting hole pattern is also very popular with other manufacturers of holster hangers and holsters so it's easy to bring other equipment into the Blade-Tech system. I love their stuff !! My CZ is on the Boss Hanger and all of their products use the Blade-Tech pattern."

This Velocity holster is definitely
"This Velocity holster is definitely excellent! The Echelon fits perfectly, the presentation, well, comes out with velocity all right while the pistol remains snug and secure when not called for. It may be intended for competition use, but works just fine as a daily carry when the weather allows a light jacket. I use it with the ASR attachment, I like the security and adjustability of the holster between belt loops. Quality stuff as usual from Blade-Tech. My 30 year old 90s classic looks new after decades, I expect the same. Always worth the extra investment in the best. . ."

Super nice passive retention holster.
"Super nice passive retention holster. The Tek-mount receiver and 360 insert disk are very sturdy and convenient."

Holster is very tight had
"Holster is very tight had to loosen it a lot also the drop off set made the gun almost impossible to release without a tie down so I ended up ordering a higher ride holster as I don’t have a tie down for the drop off set."

WOW, I wish I had
"WOW, I wish I had made the leap to a quality holster well before this. I needed an OWB holster for training and to hold me over while more level 3 retention options hit the market for a new generation of glock (lead times are 6+ weeks). I had needed a level 1 retention as well and everyone said that Bladetech was trusted by those in training and competition for a reason. I wish I had listened sooner. Great product and one of the few that is more than just hype. My firearm fit as promised, with the mounted light and optic. and it all came preassembled. I just had to address retention and swap out the quick belt attach for my attachment of choice; the installation was simple."

I needed a holster quick
"I needed a holster quick for my new steel frame SW MP 2. 0 for an upcoming match. I didn’t want the long wait time you get from the other big holster companies. So I decided on the velocity from Blade Tech thinking it would be a temporary purchase until I get order me an expensive competition holster. I received the holster and man was I surprised how awesome it was made and how nice it paired with the steel frame Smith. I’m really digging the holster and it will remain on my competition belt no need to buy another one to replace it. Fit and finish are nice and it fits my gun like a glove making drawing and holstering a breeze. Highly recommend to others looking for a quality holster at a good price and quickly shipped. Thank You BladeTech."

The holster is well Made
"The holster is well Made in terms of materials and compatibility to the model I’ve ordered , After I’ve tried multiple belt attachment, high, mid, low ride and offset - Its is not usable without a thigh strap due to the location of the connecting screws so high it’s like an axis and the holster lift every time without a strap to stay in place . So unfortunately it will be used in special occasions only… I would really like to see total eclipse 2. 0 with tlr 7x support for my everyday needs"

Just bought another holster for
"Just bought another holster for my Springfield Echelon and as usual the quality and fit were perfect. I’ve pretty much converted all my holsters over to the Bladetech system and I love it. Makes it easy when shooting multiple guns when you don’t have to switch the entire rig. I love it and am converted!"
