Detonics Holsters?

[bobthebuilder]

Hopefuly in the next few days I should be getting myself an Army armarments Detonics (i.e. a clone TM detonics)
Does anyone have any suggestions for what does and doesn't work when it comes to holsters for these? I know that 1911 holsters should be a good start, but I suspect the different rear sight placement may cause issues with some models.

Re: Detonics Holsters?

I would assume size would be a problem too?

I thought they was the tiny version of a 1911?

As far as I know yes, in that it's got a shorter barrel/slide and also a shorter grip (although that makes no real difference since most holsters don't go near the grip). Everything else is the same size wise.

Re: Detonics Holsters?

If you buy a blackhawk or IMI one, the rear sight doesnt really play a part in the holstering, and if it does, a small edit with a dremel will sort that. The lower part of the frame is the same size i believe, its just the slide and grip thats different.

So it should fit in a 1911 holster from the off.

Yes it's just a cut down 1911, so any molded holsters should be fine.

Fair enough, didn't realise it was a cut down version, I thought the whole thing was just like shrunk lol

Luckily it's not, so you can use loads of 1911/Hi Capa parts on it which is useful. I wish someone would make a scaled down one though, like a SIG P238.

Retention holsters don't like the detonics, they are too short.
I've tried fobus and blackhawk versions, so far I haven't found a holster that works.

I've tried a TM Detonics into my genuine Blackhawk Serpa and it fitted fine with no wiggle, wobbles or worries.

Tried detonics in IMI, Blackhawk and Fobus and they all worked perfectly

Re: Detonics Holsters?

I bought a leather shoulder holster for a small pistol off ebay for mine and used leather stretcher to mould it to the pistol - works great and doesnt cost a bomb!

Never had an issue with my Detonics in any 1911 moulded holster it has been in.

The rear sight placement is not that severe and many moulded holsters would have to have the sights right behind the ejection port or on the wrong side of it to be an issue.

Personally I carry mine in a custom leather holster, bikini style with a 15 degree cant. Leather compact holsters work a treat with the Detonics and look the business.
