Iwb & owb holsters

jaywapti

I need both for my Charter Arms .44, 2 1/2" bbl. The only one I could find was " Side Guard Holsters " I searched Midway, Brownells, and the web, and didn't find anything else, so I'm open to any and all suggestions.

OWB - Mernickle holsters. I own two of them, and LOVE them. One for my Kimber Ultra-carry and one for my S&W 29.

I don't wear IWB holsters much anymore, but have heard good things about the ones built like Crossbreed's Supertuk.

I have been looking for a "high" carry OWB holster...... This one looks good

I'd suggest contacting Old Faithful Holsters.
With as many different, and sometimes oddball handguns they make holsters for, I figured they would have the Bulldog listed, but it's not one of their listed models :uhm:

I bought one of their holsters for my dad's B'day earlier this month and was impressed with it :up: :up:

My eval of such holsters has changed some, if the holster gets in the right spot it is a good one and you can forget you have it on. Have it be a couple inches off that spot
and it is uncomfortable in a big way.

And to think, I had a hand in your change of heart when I put my "Chrisbreed" 1911 holster on you up @ Jerry's a couple of years ago :tooth:

I bought a crossbreed for my 1911, and I liked it so much I got one for my FNP45. Now if you can carry an FNP45 IWB, you're either big-boned like me, or you wear a lot of ill-fitting clothing. Anyways, I like them enough to recommend them to friends. Good luck with not adding to your holster graveyard.

I prefer to carry OTW and I've been using this with my bulldog for several years now and have been totally happy with it.

Fish, I cant read the model number, what model is it ? thanks for the pic.

JAY

It's an 1109.

So far it's looks like either a Mernicle or Ted Blocker, Bianchi doesn't list the M-1109 any more.

I looked at Midway and I think they just changed the model #. It looks like it's now the Bianchi 7 Shadow 2.

So have you gotten the holster and do you like it? I believe Paul (Knitepoet) had tried that same model and didn't care for it, but then he and I are shaped a little differently.

Fish, got the holster, been wearing it, fits the .44 perfect almost like the leather was molded over the gun. Very comfortable to wear, since I'm skinny ( 5"10" 146lbs ) I wear the belt on the outside of the holster, the only thing I don't like is the safety snap over the hammer, it would be better if it was one piece snaping on the outside of the holster instead of over the hammer, but I can live with it until I find a good leather smith that can modify it and do a good neat job.
