I want and ordered this awesome holster and a new belt. But I am freaking out because I forgot to check on sight clearance. Seems no mention of sight fit.
How convenient.....I've had a PDR Pro for my Tanfoglio Stock 3 since November. If I had to guess I'd say I've drawn my gun in dry and live fire 20K+ times from this holster. I just broke it during a recent dry fire session. I ripped the holster body off of the mount where the plastic T-rail attaches to the ball-joint because the holster got in a bind on the gun. This pretty much ruined the T-rail to ball-joint connection permanently. This was one of the main complaints I have about this holster. There was always slop between the T-rail and the ball-joint, it was never a tight fit. I even tried to shim the gap between the T-rail and ball-joint with pieces of aluminum can in an attempt to tighten up the connection. I was able to fit 4 pieces of can between the T-rail and ball-joint and it was still a little sloppy. My next complaint is that I ordered a holster for a Tanfoglio Stock III and received a holster for the CZ SP-01. This holster never fit my gun properly and it always bound up at the wrong time. I think the repeated holster bind was a contributing factor to it's ultimate failure. I'm guessing that it was a "close enough" fit so the SP-01 holster was sold as a Stock III holster. With the new thinner material and proper molding this could be a badass holster for the Stock 3 or any other gun for that matter. I always liked the ball joint idea. It is awesome for maximum adjustability. I have another PDR Pro for my 2011 and it fits the gun and functions great. Since the ball is aluminum and the jaws are steel you can get a good bite on the ball when the holster is positioned where you want it, BUT if you ever decide to re-adjust it, the ball can get chewed up pretty quickly and it makes the adjustment process difficult trying to work around the gouges in the aluminum ball. I've had issues a few times where the stainless screws on the jaws came loose during a match so I tightened them up like I was building a space station which left DEEP gouges in the ball, after this I used blue Loctite on the threads and never had this issue again. I think if the rail and ball-joint were steel, and the screws for the jaws were carbon steel instead of stainless it would be a huge improvement over the current build in that one would be able to tighten the piss out of everything when the holster is adjusted to one's liking and never have to worry about stuff coming loose. In summary this is a GREAT holster idea. If I were king I would make a few tweaks to it using steel instead of aluminum for the rail and ball-joint, and replace the SS screws with CS. Thinner material and proper molding on a Stock 3 would make me a happy camper. Unfortunately I purchased a Blade Tech holster with a different hanger before I saw this video. I only wish I had the ball-joint though.
Look like a solid option. I'm going to give one a try.

Eli, what can I do if I need only holster and rail? I have PDR PRO-II hanger. May I order separately Holster DAA PDR PRO-II without hanger?
