aznriptide859 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Preordered as well. Time to start twiddling my thumbs. Link to post Share on other sites
Noveske Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Now we play the waiting game. ETA is end of this month (as per when I asked WGC yesterday). In the meantime, I'll just look at my Airsoft Surgeon SAI Glocks with pitiful eyes... Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I asked Guns Modify when they'll be out and I was told the 20th of October. Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 that's good news, gives me time to budget for the glock I'll need to buy to put the slide on! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Buy this now and put various other stuff on hold since it's clearly going to sell out rapidly or get on with all the other guns/rigs that've been waiting updates for months/years? Dilemmas. I was just investigating the the purchase of some type og Glock when this turned up... hmm. Nice that they actually had the sense to build it for the TM. Usually kits like this get released for barely known guns that were once produced in small quantities back in the late 90s. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 The TM platform is WAY more in favor now. I don't think anyone supports the KWA/KSC platform anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Hanger Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Now to find a holster for my new acquired TM G17.... Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm in the same boat Hanger, looking at the slide I'm leaning towards a Crye Gunclip. Makes fitting lights and suchlike easier. Link to post Share on other sites

QDRenegade Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm in the same boat Hanger, looking at the slide I'm leaning towards a Crye Gunclip. Makes fitting lights and suchlike easier. Watch some videos. I have a few holsters including a real Serpa and real GunClip. The GC is incredibly awkward despite how useful it could have been. It wobbles due to its one screw that holds the holster to the bracket. Its adjustable nature means it fits MOLLE but its not the best fit. It requires three rows, as I recall, and it just clamps at the top and the bottom of the top and bottom row. No weaving or anything. The Serpa molle mount is wayyy better. Its fine on a riggers belt, though. If only they made a Glock Serpa that fit a light! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 From looking around at RS setups, a Kydex holser with a cut for the RMR seems like a good bet. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Will it still need to be a G20/21 holster? Anyone fathom a guess? I've no idea if it's even possible for an aftermarket slide to make a TM G17 fit a correctly sized RS G17 holster (I've found SERPAs to be bigger than they actually should be).

JCheeseright Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Kydex is another good option, though that ties me into using one light forever and ever and ever unless I want to shell out probably another £60 each time for a new holster! That and having to send off what's going to be a £400 pistol plus probably another £100 (even more perhaps) tac light via royal mail/parcelfarce etc to someone, working on faith that they're going to send it back... I'm not sure I'd be able to do that level of trust with something that's costing me the same as a year's car insurance! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Personally, I wouldn't trust a gun that cost that much to anything other than a kydex holster. If I remember correctly, the RS GunClip doesn't close around a TM Glock (or at least not properly). There's no real necessity to send it to someone for fitting though. Depending on the answer to the question in my previous post, you either buy a G20/21 or G17 holster from someone reputable like G-Code (they have new light bearing models out soon which are different to the SOC rig) or get OTG Concepts to make you a TM-spec holster with the appropriate optic cut and light fitting. I guess wanting to switch lights does change things, the SOC would be ideal in the situations but they only offer Glock 9mm models and I'm yet to try heating one up to alter its' shape. For myself I'd quite happily just get one to fit an X300 or APL and be done with it because that'll remove a lot of the headache and I'm a REMF/Airsofter, so the different in the exact beam spread between a Surefire and an Inforce doesn't notice much, far less matter to me while skirmishing. But each to their own of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The gun clip is pretty good to draw from when on a PC with plates or on a stiff belt. It's trickier to return the pistol too though. That's a two hand job vs. one with a Serpa etc. Link to post Share on other sites

But each to their own of course. An OTG Kydex holster looks like the way to go then, their prices for normal items are reasonable, I can't imagine an off-spec one would be significantly more. I get your point also about the light thing, I can't see myself ever spending out and getting a real X300 so I should probably just get it made with the TLR-1 and suck it up if I ever in the distant future want a different light!

aznriptide859 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 OTG is very pricey, but they do customize your holster to however you'd like it, if you're nice enough. I plan to get one for all my Glocks. Link to post Share on other sites
Hanger Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 So far I own a ACM Gunclip and a Fobus holster for KWA G23C Gunclip does not wrap all the way, the button does close if you use a lot of force Fobus holster works perfect for the KWA G23 But however, I've read from several sources that TM G-series are made a tad wider than RS thus finding a holster for it is quite a challenge But I've found this Safariland 6004 rep on Aliexpress. Cheap enough for me to give it a try. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/263373162.html Link to post Share on other sites

They do quality work, the guy in charge can sometimes... just be a tiny bit impatient. Not a bad person by any stretch, I think he just gets a lot of really annoying, repetitive, already-answered-in-the-FAQ e-mails as with so many retailers (G-Code definitely do based on their facebook posts the last few weeks). I know for a fact I'd get annoyed having to deal with that sort of thing, I could never, ever work in customer services. I think should you reach the point you're happy to shell out on an X300 you won't mind the cost of another holster. Then again I haven't ever paid anything like full UK retail price for any Surefire light, doubt I ever would. But either way I really love my TLR-1 and I think for airsofters it's an absolutely top notch choice for a pistol light, I can't think of anything I'd recommend above it if someone asked me. It's highly robust, efficient, far brighter than equivalent clones, really easy to operate and it doesn't actually cost more than a quality pistol which is obviously a significant concern. Slightly less gucci factor but value for money wise it is totally unbeatable in the pistol light world IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites
