Default Holster for IDPA?

Thinking about getting into IDPA matches. What leather do you all recommend for a 325PD? I hate thumb break style! Also, I will need a method of carrying moon clips.
Thanks in advance.

California custom makes moonclips that can be made to comply to IDPA rules.

I use a bladetech holster it is fast but kydex is tough on finishes.

Safariland makes hard leather open holsters that are pretty fast.

Here is a link to a IDPA forum that may have better spacifics.

Check out Leather gun holster, concealed carry holster - Simply Rugged Holsters? - Proudly made in the USA

The soudough holster is in my opinion, the finest revolver holster available. I have three, one for my 31/8 inch 386 SC, one for my 4 inch 686 SSR and one for my 5 inch 327 M&P. They run about 60 bucks and are worth more then the price!

Check out K&D Holsters | Custom Gun Leather and Shooting Accessories. Get a good holster that's made for your gun and you don't need the thumb break style, it's not going anywhere.

I have been using a Mitch Rosen from Dillon for my 625JM, works fine for me. Jim.

I haven't needed to buy one for more than a year now, but when I was active in IDPA I preferred Ky-Tac holsters hands down and they seemed to be very prominent amongst serious IDPA shooters.

At that time, the wait for a Ky-Tac was so painfully long that I changed over to Blade-Tech. They were also good, and I found that they would ship immediately.

Either would serve you well assuming that kydex is OK with you.

Ditto the Simply Rugged holster. I have two of them and love them both.
