Choctaw Jack Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Look for a used rig here on the wire. I use the same holsters for my 4 5/8 inch Evil Roy's, for my 3 1/2 inch Sheriff Models.No problem keeping the shorties in the holsters during movement.

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Or....You might have a guy at your club (or another local club) who makes holsters for a reasonable price. I had these made for mine -- nice to have special holsters for special guns! --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 ADVISE: you don't want 'bucket' holsters for short barreled revolvers. Get a holster that will give your gun a 'snug' fit. I shoot 3" barreled Ruger Vaq and although the holsters are not tight, they are snug and keeps the revolvers from 'bouncing out' while moving on the stage. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Many Lustrum ago, I had a custom rig made by GALCO. Based on holsters designed for Beth Shotwell (mounted). Made for 3 1/2 inch Rugers, opposing cross-draw which gave both holsters forward muzzle rake. Adjustable tension on the guns and on the belt. Wish the belt hadn't shrunk. Bummer.

Cibola Al Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Paul Combest of Reddog Leather made a nice Mexican loop holster for my EMF Sheriff’s model. His prices are very reasonable for the quality of leather craft. I also like the look of JM Leather’s Doc Holiday holster for shorty revolvers. http://www.jm-leather.com/doc_holiday.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Tale Todd Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I run a Cimarron Thunderer 3.5" in a Ted Blocker shoulder rig. Both gun and shoulder rig are always a conversation starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such short-barreled guns should have the trigger guard supported. I recommend having the hammer spur shrouded (as I do with most of my holster designs, so as to prevent the spur being snagged). Also recommend a hammer thong for when you are not actually going to draw the gun. Stay well and safe, Pards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everytime you wear it you will overhear some busybody suggesting to the posse leader that it's problematic or otherwise unsafe. 13 hours ago, Goody, SASS #26190 said: Yes. But awkward and slow. They do have style points though! They are by no means expedient on the draw, but definitely have style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, same as belt-worn cross-draws, as long as they are in compliance with the holster regs (e.g. <30° angle), and the shooter doesn't violate the 180° allowance when drawing & reholstering.REF: SHB p.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
