Matt S.'s Review of Hogue Powerspeed ARS Stage 1 CarbonFiber Weave Holster

Well made holster with attractive finish.

Open muzzle design so the 1911 with compensator that I use fits this holster still.

The thumb release device is much smoother than other types of thumb release holsters I have tried.

Paddle and belt loop attachment included. Can be adjusted for cant but the straight draw is pretty nice.

Slight rubbing on the top of the slide, just left of the ejection port but i took some high grit sandpaper and spent a few minutes cleaning up the areas I thought it was rubbing. No issues or marks since.

Too large profile for conceal carry but great for range work, training classes, competitions, etc.

Solid, loud click once firearm is secure which I really like and haven't had a single issue with getting a clean draw.
Pros:
  • Carbon Fiber Finish
  • Thumb Release Button
  • Level 2 Retention
  • Belt and Paddle Attachement
  • Open Muzzle Design
Cons:
  • Some holster wear on firearm
Best Used for:
  • competition
  • Open carry
  • practice
  • range work
  • Training Classes
Would Recommend: Yes

Hi, my name is Matt and I am a Gear Addict. I have a serious product addiction and enjoy nothing better than getting to run a product through its paces. I like to know exactly what it can and can't do or whether it's worth recommending or not.
