I am looking at an Alpha-X holster but am not sure of practicality in 3Gun as that is what I like to shoot the most.
Unless you are shooting a race open rig where you may not be able to get any kind of closed holster, I would recommend against and Alpha x for 3 gun. They are plenty secure and a great holster but the gun is fully exposed and will get beat up as you drop to the ground, roll around on gravel or concrete, or other surfaces. I also found that my front sight fiber optic broke out a few times from grinding the front of my gun up against something while contorted in a bad position trying to shoot under barriers.
I find that I’m almost always drawing on the run in 3 gun so the 0.25 seconds that I save drawing from the Alpha X doesn’t really matter anyway. They are great for USPSA, steel challenge, and falling steel though!
