Good Morning All,
Just picked one up, or more correctly will in a few hours. Since I decided to buy it I've been searching for holsters. I knew the 5" would be less common than 4" or 6", but I guess I didn't realize how much less common. I'd like something simple: lined, straight drop, either open top or with a retention strap, enclosed trigger, low ride, if not an out right drop. In the last respect, I'd like something that put the gun no higher than the rear of the trigger guard at the top of the belt, and inch or two lower than that wouldn't hurt my feelings any. Also, with a gun this heavy I'd prefer that the belt loop/tunnel extend the full depth of the gun from the rear sight to the bottom of the trigger guard.
I'm starting to think that this may be a custom-only proposition (Ted Blocker makes just the ticket) but that is money I'm not prepared to spend right now. In the short-term I might just need to go with an inexpensive Hunter 1100 and cut 1-1/2" off the toe. Anyone have anything similar that you've used in a similar application. Thanks.
