AAAAAAGGGGH!!!! Holsters

[bigmike45]

Is there anyone who makes and more importantlySTOCKS a good leather holster for the Ruger SP-101 that completely covers the 3" barrel. I have found oddles & gobbs of holsters for the shorter barrel SP-101......but I want the barrel completely covered.

I would like to have a nicely boned leather with belt straps fore and aft, sort of like a slide or pancake style, possibly high ride FBI forward cant. A similar IWB style would also be great.:confused: :confused: :confused:

If there are any custom holster manufacturers reading this......I might even consider a factory second so long as it doesnt look like it was built by a child. I just dont want to wait for 4-40 weeks for one to be made.

Check oput the Smith & Wesson Forum., Classifieds. New post today with a 3" SP101 holster, looks like exactly what you're seeking.

I have a Bianchi 7/7L for my S&W 60-15, it is actually for Ruger SP-101 2-3" barrel, it covers the S&W 3" barrel completely. By the way it is a pancake style.

I am going to put this in accessories as we are about a holster

Kevin at K&D Holsters makes a nice pancake such as I have for my 2 1/4 SP but am sure he can make one to suit longer tube.

He is tho real busy and the wait is long - probably up to 12 weeks or so.

Well….today was good holster day. I was in Houston on business and decided to stop by Collectors Firearms and check out their holsters…….and these folks have holsters. I found a Tucker Leather Texas Heritage IWB for a S&W J Frame revolver that fits my Ruger SP-101 perfectly. I want to thank all of you that suggested different brands but I wanted to find one on the shelf, handle it, stick the gun into it and take it home with me. I have waited for holsters before and the wait is excrutiating…….like now. I am waiting on a Max-Con V holster and twin mag pouch from Gary at Broomeland Leather, for my XD-45. I had to wait for my Sparks VM-2. I love to carry my guns and waiting on holsters is like a kid with his new Christmas toy……and no batteries to make it work. Here is a couple of pics I took. I have yet to wear it but next week it will be used. Ill let you know how it works.

I have been looking at the tucker holsters. I've never worn an IWB with the two clips like that. I understand that it goes on the back side of the hip. Do any of you find it hard to draw with the gun in that position?

[gregwalter]

For carrying my sp101 I prefer tucked up front in an FBI cant right hand draw on the left side of my belt buckle. FIST inc. has some great kydex and leather holsters for any handgun and in any configuration. The short barrel of the sp101 works up front because it doesn't get in the way of the family jewels, and is slim enough to hide well.

Well I had the chance to wear the new holster all day yesterday while puttering around the house taking care os som of the honeydo's. I then went out to the barn to fix a flat on my tractor and then loaded the tractor up and took it to a patch to shred weeds down for a widow of a good friend. Got back in time to clean up and head over to mother in law's for supper and a visit with brother in law that was in from Virginia. Got home last night about 9:30, went to bed and back up at 4 for my 90 mile commute. I have the holster/gun on now and almost forget it's there. I like this holster a lot. May have to go back to find one for my 1911 and XD-45.....especially if Collectors is willing to deal with me on the price.;) ;)

Collector's used to be a dealer for Tucker Leather and still has inventory.
When they run out we'll still be here.
