I've used one for my 1911 for a couple of years and loved it. Just got one for the JM625 and it works great-but!- I'm afraid it may not be IDPA legal. There are no gaps in the belt to backpiece or backpiece to holster. Due to the size of the cylinder there is a significant gap between me and the grip. The holster is mounted square to the backpiece instead of being angled to the rear to pull the butt of the gun in. Just don't want to find out to late that it won't pass. Steve

With the diameter of the 625 cylinder it just has to stick out a little. Unless you have a dunlap belly an OWB holster will likely give you more than the 3/4". I have found that the SO's have enough common sense to figure it out. Last I knew JM himself was using a Blade-Tech. I haven't heard of any match directors giving Jerry a hard time over his holster.

All my IDPA holsters are made by them and they will hug you tight! Give Mike Benedict a call, I have been more then satisfied with his stuff, cheaper then bladetech too. R4 Holster -Mike

I have yet to find a better revolver holster than TKW. I use them exclusively in IDPA and I know Curt Nichols uses them as well. Contact Doug at: tkwholsters@comcast.net Craig This whole semi-auto thing is just a fad...

I use a Comp-tac locking paddle for my N frame and for my L frame (IDPA legal). It's rock solid and uses minimal material around the gun. For plate matches though, I do use a blade-tech with the stingray belt attachment AND the drop/offset attachment with a 5" N frame. It's not legal for IDPA but it sure is fast. Gary Jones

Pulls the butt of the gun in and a whole less kydex than the Blade-Tech. The Blade-Tech is a fast holster and might work out just fine if I can find some ICORE to shoot.

They draw lightning fast and believe it or not their disappear in my medium-build frame with just a loose fitting untucked polo over it. Jose
