PDR PRO II Holster

PDR PRO II Holster

$135

This is the go-to holster for the Shadow2 and many other popular models. It has been well upgraded and redesigned and allows more adjustment. Belt to holster fit is improved for contact inner/outer velcro on your belt. The PDR-PROII allows better hand contact to the pistol grip allowing a high thumb grip so important to a solid draw. Black only, RH and LH available.

From DAA:
Hi Murray,

Great gun, the Shadow2, but it does seem like no two are alike. I see issues like this with both the PDR fit and the Alpha X inserts, and measuring guns we get our hands on clearly shows why. Lots of external variances…

A little fitting to the body of the PDR PRO II should solve the issue for your customer, quickly and easily. This video shows how it is to be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An1j5zsHX0c

DAA MAX Holster

A103641

DAA MAX Holster

$190

Black are in stock, but red and blue are SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS! May take 3-4 weeks to deliver

A true innovation in holster design, the DAA MAX Holster is the result of decades of competition experience and over a year of development. We set out with the goal of creating the best possible Closed Body Competition holster, one that would meet the legal requirements of all IPSCd divisions without compromising adjustability or performance.

The Hanger of the DAA MAX Holster is made of aluminum and steel, to create a strong and rigid hanger that will keep your holster in place – while allowing for a huge range of adjustability. The central ball joint assembly can slide up or down a pair of stainless-Steel rods, giving shooters a wide range of height adjustment. The ball-joint enables you to tilt and rotate the holster to your chosen position, and locks it firmly in place using the same tried and tested clamp design borrowed from the Alpha-X Race Holster. The large M6 lock-up bolt can be accessed while the holster is worn, allowing you to adjust the holster/pistol position while it’s on your body.

The lower, rounded thigh-pad ensure comfort and support during a long day of use.

The Retention adjustment on the DAA MAX holster is truly innovative. Most closed-body holsters press down onto the gun to adjust retention. This solution is simple but not ideal as it quickly leads to wear marks on the pistol and often does not allow for enough “middle of range” retention adjustability. Those holsters are often either too loose or too tight… The DAA MAX Holster utilizes a completely different solution: The injection molded holster body does not clamp down onto the pistol, rather fitting around it with minimum clearance. Retention is achieved using spring loaded, fully adjustable roller clippers which engages onto the front end of the trigger guard. These secure the gun and providing the user a wide range of tension adjustment.

The DAA MAX Holster is available for an assortment of popular guns and in several colors. Additional models are being added.

The CZ model is designed for the Shadow2, but also work perfectly for the SP01 and most other CZ model pistols. It is also a perfect fit for the Tanfoglio Stock-II.

The Tanfoglio Stock-III model is in fact a modified CZ body, which has been adapted to fit the Stock-III slightly taller slide/tactical rail.

The Glock model is modeled for the G34 Gen 5, but works great with all Glocks we tried including the MOS 41.

The SIG P320 model fits all the P320’s: The P320 MAX, P320 X5/Legion, P320RXP P320 XFULL and so on.


Alpha-X Holster

A102424

Alpha-X Holster, bare frame only

$295

Note: This is a blank RH Alpha-X holster assembly only. No insert, no inlay.

New Ball Joint and Lock-Up Mechanism

The ball joint of the Alpha-X offers a wide range of motion, allowing you to position your holster at just the right angle. This holster uses a much larger ball joint and a pressure lug lock-up, which locks the ball firmly without marking or damaging it. With this system even the smallest adjustments are always possible.

The ball joint is now located higher up, closer to the center of the holster. This reduces the torque and forces applied, contributing to the solid rigid feel of the holster.

A large easy-to-reach one-screw locking system allows you to adjust the holster position even when wearing it.

Body Rail Height Adjustment

The Alpha-X achieves its height adjustment by means of a rail built directly into the side of the holster body itself. This offers an extended range of adjustment and again reduces torque and forces applied. Here too the lock up is achieved by an expanding dovetail mechanism that does not gouge or damage the rail.

Detachable Belt Hanger

The Alpha-X has a two-piece belt hanger which can be dismantled by opening a single screw, allowing all position settings to be maintained while removing the holster body from the belt for easier space-saving transport.

The Alpha-X belt bracket is designed to fit only on a 1.5” wide competition style belt. It will not fit on a 1.75” or a 2” belt unless you are prepared to cut a piece out of the belt. And, like all Race holsters, it should only be used on a firm, rigid, thick belt.

Interchangeable Color Logo Inserts

The Alpha-X is available in black anodize only, with an assortment of optional color inserts for the hanger and body logos. You can change these laser-cut plastic inserts whenever you choose.

The Same Race Master Insert Blocks!

The Alpha-X utilizes the same successful magnetic insert blocks used by the latest generation Race Master Holster. An Alpha-X Holster can be purchased with or without an insert block, making the upgrade easier and more affordable for shooters already using our Race Master Holsters.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING

Read the following instructions carefully before using this holster or Insert Block:

  • Never holster a loaded firearm without first engaging its safety.
  • Check periodically to ensure your safety is functioning correctly.
  • Never disengage the safety of the firearm until well clear of the holster and the muzzle is pointing down range.
  • Make sure you are fully familiar with the correct use, and adjustment of your DAA Holster before attempting to use it with a loaded firearm.
  • Make sure that you have the correct holster/Insert model for your type of firearm.
  • Do not use a holster that is unsuited to your firearm, as that could result in unreliable retention or release which could lead to a fatal accident.
  • Never use a trigger shoe or a widened trigger with this holster.
  • Double check that the retention and release work well, particularly if any modifications have been made to your firearm.
  • Care must be taken to ensure the gun is placed properly when returned to the holster. It if it is not positioned correctly, it will not be held securely and may fall out.
  • Never holster the gun quickly or with force, as that increases the chance of making contact with the trigger.
  • Any adjustment or modification to the holster design may render it unsafe or cause malfunction.
  • Take care that the firearm is not dislodged or knocked when holstered, particularly when the holster’s safety lever is unlocked. As this holster has no muzzle support, take care that the muzzle of the gun is not bumped upwards, as this may dislodge the gun from the holster
  • Keep your fingers well clear of the trigger when holstering and drawing the firearm.
  • The holster should be locked when running or jumping with a holstered gun, or you should keep your hand on the gun’s grip to prevent it accidentally falling.
  • Handling a loaded firearm, and drawing it from a holster is inherently dangerous. You do so entirely at your own risk and responsibility.
  • Liability is limited only to the replacement of this holster or parts thereof. No additional warranties are expressed or implied by the manufacturer or the distributors.

Alpha-X Holster Thigh Pad

Holster Thigh Pad

A102557

The thigh pad is compact and easy to install, no tools required. It helps keep the holster a bit more stable and won’t let it dig into your leg.

A nice addition I added to my own rig!


Extended Ball-Joint

Extended Ball-Joint

A102514

$26

This ball piece positions your Alpha-X holster further from the body. It improves adjustability by about 8mm.


DAA FLEX Holster

A103676

DAA FLEX Holster, no insert

$320

Flex Right-Hand Aluminum Assembly only!

The Flex holster is made from fully CNC machined aluminum for rigidity and durability. It’s designed to be used on 1.5” wide competition belts, and is a perfect fit on the DAA LYNX of Premium belts.

The new hanger design includes a detachable belt hanger which enables the user to detach the lower part of the holster from the belt, while retaining all positional settings – by removing just a single screw. This is extremely useful when traveling.

A new upgrade feature, unique to the Flex holster, is the tilt options incorporated in the hanger assembly. This additional adjustment axis, allows you to position the lower half of the hanger either vertically (as in the Alpha-X) or tilted forward or backwards in incremental steps. This enables the user to adjust the contact point that the thigh pad (which is included as standard in the Flex holster) makes with the body. Adjusting for maximum comfort, depending on your body type and where you mount your holster on the belt.

Ball Joint adjustability and Rail height adjustment

The Flex's ball joint and rail height adjustment are taken directly from the Alpha-X holster’s proven and tested design. The large 18mm ball joint with M6 clamping screw enable a full range of tilt and cant adjustability and a rock solid lockup. The easy access from the front makes it possible to setup and adjust the holster while on the body.

The dove-tail rail machined into the side of the holster body, offers a large range of height adjustment with a single screw lock/release.

The Right hand Flex holster is available in a choice for 4 aluminum anodize colors, including Black, Blue, Red, and Titanium Grey. LH holsters are offering in Black only

A choice of 8 color inlays provides additional personalization.

A Flex holster blank (without the insert block) includes the following:

  • A fully assembled Flex Aluminum Holster – including polymer Thigh Pad.
  • An EVA case, ideal for later use as a utility/cleaning kit box
  • A full set of tools including: A large T-handle 5mm Allen, Long Allen keys: 2.5/3/4mm, short screw-driver with double-end bit of T20 Torx and Allen 2mm
  • A user instruction card

At the heart of the DAA Flex holster is the new, innovative, Pat Pending Flex insert block.

This insert design allows each user to adjust and fine-tune his insert block to perfectly fit his particular pistol. Not only does this allow us to support almost all gun types with just two models of inserts (Type-A and Type-B), but it enable users to adjust for the small variances that are often introduced by the gun manufacturers, who don’t consider the external dimensions of the trigger guard to be critical. This has always been an issue for the Alpha-X inserts, and this problem is now solved with the new Flex insert design.

Now, using the adjustable slide-lock teeth, the selection of side spacers and Shims, and possibly the front spacer, each shooter can achieve a perfect fit to his or her pistol.

The Flex Insert Block Assembly features an aluminum slide-lock mounted with user adjustable slide-lock teeth. Magnetic engagement, as in the latest generation of Alpha-X inserts. The new stainless-steel safety lever is wider and flatter than that found in the Alpha-X blocks, and is mounted on the right side of the block, the outside of the holster for all RH shooters. This makes it more accessible and easier to activate.

The new injection molding production process, and rail mounted magnetic support wedge, ensure the slide lock is more stable and moves more consistently than ever.

Do I need the A-type or B-type insert block assembly?

To determine which insert to order, first consult our list to see if your gun model is shown.

Download the list of pistol/insert type match here.

The beauty of the Flex insert is that even if we never tried your pistol model, and it’s not on our list – more than likely it can be used with either the A or the B-type block! In order to determine which one you need for an unlisted gun model, download and print the gun fit sketch, and follow the instruction in the setup video on how to use it to determine which Insert Block can be used with YOUR pistol.

Download the printable Gun fitment sketch here.

Please note:

  • Pistols which have a trigger guard that widens gradually from front to back (towards the grip) cannot be used in the Flex holster! Such guns include the HK USP and VP9, the CZ P10, the Arsenal Stryke A/B and some others. More on this in the setup video. These guns require a shaped/contoured cutout which cannot be formed using the parallel spacers of the Flex insert. For these guns – we continue to offer Alpha-X insert blocks.
  • The Flex insert are not compatible with the Alpha-X holsters. Nor can the Alpha-X inserts be used in the Flex holster body.

A Flex Insert Block Assembly includes:

  • A fully assembled insert block, including an aluminum slide lock with adjustable retention teeth and stainless safety lever
  • 7 side spacers in increments of 1.25mm
  • A pack of 12 side-Shims, of approx. 0.12mm thickness
  • A 2mm front spacer (used only for some gun types)
  • Two M4x8 screws for securing the insert assembly to the holster body
  • Two 2mmx6 self-tapping screws for mounting the front spacer
  • Two 4mmx5 self-tapping screws for mounting the THIN side spacer (use these short screws only for the thinnest 2.5mm side spacer)
  • Two 4mmx8 self-tapping screws for mounting the side spacers (use for all side spacers other than the thinnest 2.5mm one)

Standard Magnetic Insert

Standard Magnetic Insert

$95 and up

SW revolver and non-standard sizes

$110

All inserts fit both Race Master and Alpha-X holsters.

The magnetic insert for the RaceMaster and Alpha-X holsters is one of its keys to success. In less than 5 minutes, I can change my STI set up to CZ Shadow, Glock, etc. Note: This is REALLY easy. My hands can do ONLY two things: feed me and shoot, and I manage to switch out my holster insert just fine:)

Many owners are now able to use one complete rig and shoot various guns out of the same holster by just changing the trigger block. Keep this in mind when you are thinking about a new holster.

These MAGNETIC holster inserts take the place of the traditional inserts and are not only physically solid but also mechanically sound. If you want to upgrade your RaceMaster or Alpha-X, this is a great addition.


Drop & Offset Holster with ASR belt attachment

DROP & OFFSET HOLSTER with ASR belt attachment

$95-$115

The "offset" feature of this holster allows for a greater degree of outward cant, which positions the grip of your pistol away from the body in a vertical position for more positive indexing. This popular holster also features a "drop", which lowers the placement of the pistol for an easier reach, allowing the arm to remain more extended.

The Drop & Offset holster is very popular for range work and is perfect for women's carry. The loop is adjustable for three different cants, Straight Drop, FBI cant, Muzzle Forward.
