IDPA holsters

[Tartaruga]

I shoot a Beretta 92 FS 9mm and I am thinking of increasing my speed with some new equipment.

I am looking to up my 'game' in IDPA. I use either a Galco or Don Hume leather holster and mag pouch.

I have noticed most of the fastest shooters use the Kydex stuff. Are the Fobus holsters legal? What are some that are legal but not too expensive?

I think the best buy in the field is from Blade Tech.
Holster, double mag pouch, and paddle to change from belt loop for $45.
Holster alone is $18 for belt, $21 for paddle if you have mag carriers.
Way ahead of Fobus or Uncle Mike but in their price range.

Thanks for the advice! That looks like good quality stuff and for a reasonable price.

Jim,

I think the less expensive Blade-tech holsters are not made of kydex. I'm looking at a Comp-tac and Bladetech holsters. Has Sidearmor fallen out of favor? Used to be quite popular.

The injection molded holsters are not Kydex. OTOH they are still the best holster for the money. I think they are a little easier on the finish than the Kydex holsters.
