Leather holster recomendations for Ruger SP101 with 4.2 in. barrel.

[nortac]

Looking for a leather holster for an SP101 with a 4.2 inch barrel. This will be a general purpose "field" holster, not one for CCW. Ruger offers a Ruger branded one in their accessories line, but seems to be always sold out. Any suggestions. Would like to keep it around $100 or less. Hopefully $75ish.

If this works for a SP 101 2.25, I imagine it would work for a longer barreled version and might serve as a field holster..?? .https://www.mtrcustomleather.com/

Guess I may have showed up a bit late here. But...
The Milt Sparks PMK and R. Grizzle "Working Man" holsters have both done very well by me. They are available for the Ruger SP 101.

 

[nortac]

Nice holsters indeed! Hopefully I didn't "jump the gun", so to speak, I wanted to keep the price down on this one. I have several Sparks and aspire to R. Grizz in the future for other guns.

 

[BigFoot]

I like the R Grizzle but 16 weeks is a long time to wait for a holster.

 

[nortac]

Supposedly the wait time for the M.D. Whitfield is about 9 weeks......

 

[Acmemfg]

Seems most top tier holster makers all have a huge waiting period.
Sparks is 14-20 weeks. Grizzle 16 weeks. Andrews...let's just say it's a good while.
Last I looked Matt Del Fatti was around 4 years. 5 Shot Leather was somewhere in
the same ball park.
"Good things come to those who wait".
Uh huh...........

 

[OkieStubble]

4 years! I made two babies faster then that.

 

[BigFoot]

Simply Rugged turned my Rattle Snake holster in about 3 weeks. He had plenty of skin at the time. I think sometimes it is your source of leather and what the maker will work with. I am still thinking of ordering the R Grizzle. Does that Working Man hold the but tight against your side Tim? @Acmemfg

 

[Acmemfg]

Yes. I have a couple of Grizzle “Working Man” rigs. Two are like the one posted above. Straight drop for my S&W revolvers. Another, shown here is for a CZ 75C but has a FBI forward cant.
The design is that of essentially a Nelson Avenger, tried and proven for many years.

EPS upped their delivery time from 6 to 8 weeks to 24 WEEKS due to the lockdown. I'm not waiting 6 months on one...I'll order when they get back to normal.

Wright Leather Works (a decent holster manufacturer out of Ohio with a respectable customer base) was shut down for 2 weeks when this mess first started. They are running 6-8 weeks.
@simon1
Don't know what it is you're looking for but I'd call around. Ritchie Leather is excellent gear and usually pretty quick. Wright ain't quite up there with the premier makers but they make a good product. May consider Mitch Rosen also.

High Noon Holsters has been running a 50% off sale. They make good, high quality leather holsters.

A couple other makers worth considering are Tucker Gun Leather & a bit more off the beaten trail, Haugen Handgun Leather. I used to carry a P7 in a Tucker OWB & it was a fine holster.

Me, maybe 20 years ago, but I did get emails from them this week about their sale.

They still show on Amazon so they may have gone that marketing route.

I don’t know...just something about a classic revolver and properly made leather holster that is just so....right.
Left-S&W Model 629 .44 magnum
Right-S&W Model 66 .357 magnum
Both holsters by R. Grizzle Leather-“Workin’ Man”. Straight drop.
