Vertical shoulder holster question

[armoredman]

Does anyone still make/have laying in the used holster bin/stuffed in a back drawer/under the spare bed, a vertical shoulder rig for a 5 inch Smith K frame? I can find 4 and 6 all day long, but my wonderful old 10-5 is a 5 inch. Call me weird, it's OK.

Galco still makes them, and IIRC, so do Bianchi, Hunter and Safariland. Google for them.

Just did - not one company suggested makes a rig for a 5 inch barrel. Safariland even lists the barrel length on thier "will fit" form, with not one holster listed for it.
But thank you anyway, and never mind.

Try a PM to "Robbt" a fellow member on The High Road who seems to have a lot of holsters for sale that fit older revolvers.

I've come up against the same problem you have because I like the 5" barrel length on a Military & Police myself. Often frustrated when trying to find leather, I resorted to sometimes making my own.

If you can get by with a regular pouch style I know of several custom makers that could make what you want. The half-breed style with a spring clip would be harder to get, and likely much more expensive.
