Just wondering if anyone knows?
Knowing this is not overly helpful the answer is it depends. Here is a portion of the holsters rule:
F. Can have no offset backpieces and/or belt slots. The holster
may not offset away from the belt and/or body. No gap is
permitted in the following areas:
1. From the body to the inside of the belt.
2. From the outside of the belt to the inside of the
backpiece and/or backside of the holster.
3. From the outside of the backpiece to the inside of
the holster.
If you look through the belt slot area of the holster with it on
the belt/body, you should not be able to see any daylight. If
you can see through this belt tunnel area, the holster is not
approved.
Holster/backpiece must be constructed of “normal thickness”
common holster making materials, no filler is allowed to hide
an offset. In simple terms, the back of the holster must be held
tightly against the outside of the belt for proper concealed carry
(for questions, refer to #1 above and re-read the “Purpose”
section in the front of this rulebook).¹
G. Must be constructed of normal thickness common holster
making materials (leather, Kydex, plastic, nylon, etc.).
Given the above it depends on the Safety Officer and Match Director. If it sticks way out, its a no go. At club matches, a little offset might be OK or result in a use it today, but get a new one by next match ruling.
I have one Fobus holster and have to about rip my pants off to draw from it. IT fits the Glock 17 and is for sale, cheap, in like new condition. The IDPA rule book is on the website at
