Drop & Offset Holster fits Ruger Models, IPSC USPSA 3 Gun Competition

Drop & Offset Holster for Ruger Pistols

This is the Pro Competition holster from Black Scorpion Outdoor Gear, their drop and offset race holster for USPSA, IPSC and 3 Gun. It rides outside the waistband, dropped below the belt and pushed out from the body, so the grip sits clear of your side and your hand finds it in the same place on every draw.

Pick your pistol

Choose your exact model from the Gun Model menu. Every model has its own mold, so a holster for one model will not fit another.

If your pistol has a light, thumb rest or optic plate that is not named in the menu, it takes a different holster. Pick the version that names your light. Not sure? Message us before you buy.

Where it is legal

USPSA: yes. It stays inside the 2 1/8 in limit from the belt to the grip, the tightest limit in USPSA (Carry Optics, Production and Single Stack), so it clears every division. Keep the heel of the grip above the belt (rule 5.2.11).

IPSC: yes. It stays inside the 50 mm limit from the outer face of the belt to the center of the grip (5.2.5), which applies in every IPSC division.

IDPA: no. IDPA bars race gear (8.1). Shooting IDPA? This is the wrong holster.

How it adjusts

Ride height and draw angle both adjust. An aluminum thigh spacer holds the pistol at 90 degrees to the ground. The front is cut low to clear a slide-mounted optic. Retention is manual: two thumb screws on the shell, set by hand. Tighter holds the pistol more securely while you move. Looser lets it draw with less effort.

You need a 2.5 mm Allen key and a Phillips screwdriver.

Setting it up

1. Mount the holster. Loosen the three 2.5 mm Allen screws on the front of the belt attachment to open it. Fit it on your outer belt and tighten the three screws. On a 1.75 in belt, take out the tab while the attachment is open. The belt has to be at least 6 mm thick for the attachment to hold without moving.
2. Set ride height and angle. With an unloaded pistol, loosen the two Phillips screws that hold the shell to the aluminum plate, set the ride height and angle, and tighten them again.
3. Set the retention. Turn the two thumb screws on the shell by hand until the draw feels right.
4. Lock the screws. Once everything is where you want it, put a drop of removable (blue, medium strength) thread locker on every screw: the belt attachment, the plate, the thigh bumper and the two Phillips screws that hold the shell to the plate. Do not use permanent (red) thread locker. It can seize the screws so they won\'t come out. Check every screw before you shoot.
