Due to popular demand we are now pleased to offer you the DAA Super-Strong magnets, sold separately, for mounting on the DAA Alpha-X / Race Master pouches, or any other type of base you care to use them on.

These Zinc plated magnets are incredibly strong, offering approx. 87kg of pull strength. With these magnets, you can slap on that magazine quickly and confidently and know that it will not fall off as you move. The magnets measure almost 50mm in diameter, and are 12mm thick (with their casing).

Fitting to an Alpha-X / Race Master Pouch:
In the front of the pouch there is a 4.2mm hole, which can be used to attach the magnet to the pouch body. You will need to tap (thread) this hole using an M5 Tap. Do it carefully and slowly as the thread needs to be precise, as there is only a 2.5mm side wall to work with. once done, simply screw the magnet directly onto the front of your leading pouch. We suggest using a little LockTite on it, to keep the screw from opening.

Do not worry if the tip of the screw protrudes slightly into the pouch body - the magazine does not reach down far enough to hit it.

The DAA 1911/2011 Ambidextrous Safeties with Shields are precision-made stainless-steel Safeties made with state-of-art Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology. They are designed for use on any 2011 or 1911 pistol, with some minor fitting required. It is always recommended to have a competent Gun Smith fit safeties!

In recent years Double-Alpha Academy's competition holsters have been setting the benchmark for advanced design and cutting-edge performance. The Race Master Holster has become the go-to competition holster worldwide for many top Champion shooters in our sport.

Double-Alpha is known for not standing still, and over time the Race Master Holster has been improved. Upgrades and refinements were made to its hanger system and more recently, to the patented insert block, making it magnetic and improving its performance further.

And now, over the past few months, DAA has been working on the next generation holster. We are very proud to introduce the Alpha-X holster!

The ALPHA-X was born of years of experience and market feedback, looking to take the Race Master Holster even further, creating a new fresh, striking look and adding several meaningful performance upgrades.

New Ball Joint and Lock-Up Mechanism

The ball joint of the Alpha-X offers a wide range of motion, allowing you to position your holster at just the right angle. This holster uses a much larger ball joint and a pressure lug lock-up, which locks the ball firmly without marking or damaging it. With this system even the smallest adjustments are always possible.

The ball joint is now located higher up, closer to the center of the holster. This reduces the torque and forces applied, contributing to the solid rigid feel of the holster. 

A large easy-to-reach one-screw locking system allows you to adjust the holster position even when wearing it.

Body Rail Height Adjustment

The Alpha-X achieves its height adjustment by means of a rail built directly into the side of the holster body itself. This offers an extended range of adjustment and again reduces torque and forces applied. Here too the lock up is achieved by an expanding dovetail mechanism that does not gouge or damage the rail.

Detachable Belt Hanger

The Alpha-X has a two-piece belt hanger which can be dismantled by opening a single screw, allowing all position settings to be maintained while removing the holster body from the belt for easier space-saving transport.

The Alpha-X belt bracket is designed to fit only on a 1.5” wide competition style belt. It will not fit on a 1.75” or a 2” belt unless you are prepared to cut a piece out of the belt. And, like all Race holsters, it should only be used on a firm, rigid, thick belt.

Interchangeable Color Logo Inserts

The Alpha-X is available in black anodize only, with an assortment of optional color inserts for the hanger and body logos. You can change these laser-cut plastic inserts whenever you choose.

The DAA Bullet Puller is a must-have for serious reloaders. This tool takes all the hassle out of separating your used cases from the bullet and powder. The tool itself is formed from high-quality plastic with an aluminum rod to ensure many years of durable performance.

The DAA Bullet Puller can be used for ammunition of all sizes ranging from .17 Remington to .50/70 Government cases. This tool comes with an extra set of three collets, should the originals happen to break. The tool itself is virtually indestructible and makes quick work of disassembling your ammunition for reloading.

The Alpha-X holster by Double-Alpha has taken the shooting world by storm, fast becoming the choice of top shooters worldwide. And while the reviews and feedback have been overwhelmingly positive, we have had a few requests for a Thigh Pad option to be made available for this holster.

And we are now pleased to offer you just that – a compact yet effective Thigh Pad option for your Alpha-X holster. No screws or glue required. Simply slide the Thigh Pad on over the bottom of the holster’s belt attachment, until the tabs at the top of the extended arms click into the pockets and keep the Thigh Pad in place. To remove, pull those tabs up and out of the pocket they are clipped into, and slide the piece down and off (it may be a tight fit, to prevent wobble)

Suitable for use on both Right-Hand and Left-Hand holsters.

First batch compatibility issue: Please note! If you have one of the very first holsters (from 2016) your holster hanger does not have the corner chamfer as shown in one of the pictures here. Your hanger is also a little wider, and this Thigh Pad will NOT fit your model holster. Sorry.
