Overview

Built for carrying a revolver on the belt, this open-top holster is aimed at hunters and shooters who want a straightforward leather option for everyday use. Its molded steerhide construction is designed to conform closely to the handgun, with retention centered around the cylinder for a secure fit. The holster is listed for K and L frame revolvers, including Ruger GP100 and S&W K Frame/686 style models, making it suited to compatible handguns rather than a broad universal fit. The left-hand configuration and Stealth Black finish keep the design simple and purpose-driven.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Open-top design means the revolver is not enclosed, so it offers less coverage than a fully closed holster.
  • Fit is listed for K and L frame revolvers and similar models, so compatibility should be checked carefully before purchase.
  • The holster is designed to mold to the handgun, which can mean a more tailored fit over time rather than an immediately rigid draw profile.
  • This is a left-hand holster, so it is not suitable for right-handed carry.
