Front side relieved and mostly flat to reduce printing. The original plug at the base is firmly in place. Belt holsters, inside the waistband holsters, tuckables and pocket holsters are all viable for the J-frame. Each holster is custom made to fit your needs, as well as your tastes. Among other features the New G3 is easier to attach and much easier to draw, however, the G1 is often considered more comfortable and offered here at a discounted price. The holster has their simple rolled border tooling and the makers mark is on the front flap.
Most of the Simply Rugged Holsters™ are of the pancake design, the gun being held firmly between two pieces of leather the wide set belt slots hold the gun in close to your body and apply tension to the gun. Will also fit same sized guns made by Taurus. It has a snub-nosed design, low recoil and a medium ranked power factor meaning that the Model 63 2'' packs a punch and doesn’t influence the steadiness of your aim - the whole idea behind the famous J-Frame line. I want a nylon flap holster other than the Bianchi to fit a GP100 4" bbl It says for SW 500/460 4" or Ruger Alaskan which are different barrel lengths.I have an Uncle Mikes sidekick on my belt for my 44 and love it, but was wondering if the same quality carried over to their vertical shoulder holster.J frame flap holster The "hook" on the outside serves 2 purposes: It provides width so that the holster stays upright in the pocket, and serves as a I was looking at the Uncle Mikes Sidekick vertical shoulder holster size 0 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with that. It's good to see all your options before you make a purchase.
Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely look into the Viper. If you like that inverted shoulder holster design, Safariland used to make a Model 19 for 3.0 - 4.0 inch barreled K-frames that can usually be found at reasonable cost at "flea bay". Also, because of the design, I can draw left-handed from it, if I have to. It is an inverted, vertical shoulder holster that I really enjoy. 357 Magnum revolvers, it will hold 2.0 inch J-frames as well as 2.5 inch barreled K-frames (Model 19/66). One big advantage of the 9R is that some version were made with belt slots, so you could remove the shoulder straps and use it as a belt holster if desired. They can be found frequently on "flea bay" but usually sell quickly, and at outrageously high prices ($100+). The Bianchi 9R has been out of production for at least 20 years, but are still very popular. The Ken Null "City Slicker" is size specific (J-frame holsters for J-frame revolvers) but have the advantages of very modern, and excellent design, fast to get into action, and one size holster will fit all barrel lengths.
One advantage of it is that the right sized holster will fit 2.5 inch, 3.0 inch, and 4.0 inch revolvers and medium framed semi-autos (H&K P7, S&W 6906, M&P 40C, etc.) You can usually buy them new/unused off the on-line auction site whose name rhymes with "flea-bay". The Bianchi Viper is a ballistic nylon, vertical shoulder holster that might meet your needs.
