hi,

I'm looking for a concealment holster recommendation for a ruger SP-101, 2 1/2" snub 357. My requirements are:

# leather
# OWB
# FBI cant
# no thumbreaks and must cover trigger guard
# no 1.8yr waiting list :-)

thanks.

Here's an example:

Try Fist holsters. We each have a leather OWB. Both are great.
I ordered one of these in January http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/10.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It took 3 or 4 weeks to arrive.
I got a lefthanded one for a S&W 442. My wife has different model for her Sig P239.
Regards, OE

Many years ago, I bought a Hoffner's strapless spoiler for my SP-101 and it's a decent holster, but I don't think I'd pay the current prices. In your position, I would go to a large gun show (or store) and look for a mass production pancake holster in leather.

I used to carry a Chief's Special in a Bianchi belt slide like this http://www.bianchi-intl.com/product/Pro ... tModelID=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I still use a belt slide for carry OWB on a couple of my CCW's.

Try D.M. Bullard over in Azle (http://www.dmbullardleather.com/). He makes a "Combat" for the SP101 and can add the bodyguard shield to it if you want. I have had a bunch of his holsters for different handguns - all were quality, very durable, and fit perfectly. You should have it in about two weeks. He is usually at the local area gun shows as well and always brings a good selection of holsters, mag holders, belts, and 'stuff'. So maybe, if you are close to Fort Worth for the next show, try that.

Look at the products by Kramer gunleather. I own 7 of his. Great work and reasonable. http://www.kramergunleather.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

+1 for D.M. Bullard. Very nice craftsmanship at a competitive pricing. He's also a great guy to do business with. His holsters and accessories are also quite customizable to your needs.

Ghostrider I sent you a PM.

thanks for all the info.

I actually have Bullard holster (for a semi-auto) on order.

I am looking at the U S high ride, myself.

I've decided to try a Mitch Rosen from Dillon:

I use the [horsehide] MSP paddle holster for my 38 Colt Det Special. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
