Question:
It has come up for discussion a few times at local matches and I am trying to get clarification before a major match. I have the new Ghost Stinger drop offset holster and am looking to use it for production. Reading the rule book over and over a few times the holster seems to meet every requirement for production legal: 2" or less from inside of gun to inside of belt, 1/2" or less from top of kydex to the ejection port, the holster is no more or less suitable than a Blade tech DOH w/ Teclock attachment.
Answer:
The drop offset type holster is allowed in production Division as long as the heel of the butt of the gun is above the belt per 5.2.7.2 and the rest of the criteria you listed is met.
