S&W Holster Suggestions

cbxjeff

I'm downsizing a lot and one thing to go was my usual 9mm carry. I was going to buy a new piece but I think I'll use a S&W model 39 that I inherited years ago. I want to buy a paddle holster for it. I'm right handed but prefer a cross draw. I used a Fobus for my last carry but it's too loose for the S&W. Any suggestions guys?

Thanks,

For a cross draw Galco or El Paso Saddlery both have cross draw holsters. Cross draw usually isn’t going to be a paddle style though. I tried paddle holsters before but didn’t care for them because they pushed the gun too far out for me.

Give Michael a try at Ghost Town Leather. He runs a shop out of Palmer, and uses English bridle leather and heavy stainless hardware where appropriate. I had him make a left hand draw chest holster for my .44 Anaconda, and it has enough adjustment I can wear it vertically and comfortably under my left armpit. Absolutely the highest quality piece I've ever seen.

I just now saw it. I didn’t even know we had the ability to do that here lol. As to the pm I don’t own a 77/22. Did you accidentally pm the wrong person?

I think cross draw is a bad idea. It's slow and you end up flagging all manner of things you don't have any business flagging.

You are correct Mr. Perfect but I have limited movement in my right shoulder and strong side isn't practical. I'm too old to become a lefty! Also, I don't plan on meeting anyone at high noon on Main St. in Deadwood.

I find a vertical holster with no cant can be worn crossdraw pretty easily.
