It's Here....Brommeland Max Con V for my XD-45

tex45acp · August 16th, 2006, 05:26 PM

I just recieved my new holster and double mag pouch for my Springfield XD-45. The holster was made by Brommeland Gunleather up in Sneedville, TN. I ordered it about 10 weeks ago and thought I was going to die waiting. Well the wait was worth it. I am wearing it now for almost 4 hours and man is this holster comfortable, and I don't even have it broke in yet!!!

Gary & Remy are great to deal with and the product is top notch. I finally got to take a picture......just did not want to take it off to do so. This is one comfortable rig.

Great looking rig! This is the service grade, right?

I know the Holster is legal, but I was wondering if the mag carriers are legal for IDPA competition. I seem to remember that when the rule book was rewritten, mags have to be carried virtually vertically.
Maybe the holster gurus onsite can answer this for me.

By the way, sweet looking stuff.

Actually, none of my holsters are IDPA approved. Our emphasis is more upon street survival, rather than meeting any criteria necessary for shooting games.
Thanks for your kind words!

Actually, my opinion is that the holster would be approved were you to wear it to an IDPA match, since an IWB holster certainly fits within the written rules as I read them.

Since the rules were last revised there really are no "IDPA approved" holsters, as in a list of holsters that fit the rules. Instead, the rules are a set of criteria that must be met in order for the equipment to qualify for use in a match...the folks running the match will let you know if the holster meets the rules. It's pretty easy to look up the rules and apply them to your own gear, just see http://www.idpa.com/Documents/IDPARuleBook2005.pdf

I haven't looked over the rules after reading this thread, but do recall that there may be some restrictions about the "cant" allowed on mag holders/pouches. That too will be in the rules you can access at the IDPA site.

As for me, I buy my equipment for the express purpose of carry, and my stuff fits the IDPA rules. The rules were meant to reflect inclusion of equipment meant for everday carry, so they are pretty easy to meet with your carry rig. I guess I'd be surprised if everyday carry equipment did not fit IDPA rules.

But all of this may be a moot point if you don't plan to use the gear to shoot IDPA...heh.

By the way, nice looking holster and pouches...good idea going with the double mag pouch in my opinion, since I've learned from experience that you can't have too much ammo on board...enjoy.

I sure have witnessed (first hand) a multitude of Brommeland Happy Campers on CombatCarry.com.
I never tire of looking at them-there Brommeland creations.

Nice background for your holster photo BTW.

Very, very nice! Congratulations to all!

Woo Hoo! A Brommeland customer is a happy customer. The wait sometimes get's hard but the end result is worth the wait (but 10 week's is hardly a wait IMO for the quality holster you just recieved). I have two MC-V's and two Def-Con's in the work's! I am one of those happy customers as well.
