Utility Revolver Holster question

[CJD3]

Been a while since I needed a new holster. It will mostly be for wearing around the property type, although I can't say I might take her into town occasionally.
But mostly a camping, utility, mowing gun. I don't really like the "plastic" type. Leather or just a simple Uncle Mikes heavy nylon. Wonder about paddle style too.

Ruger GP100 / 4.2" barrel / 40 ounces empty.

Any comments, good and even as important, Bad are appreciated.

I’ve got a nylon Uncle Mikes holster for a .22 revolver. I carry it while doing chores sometimes, but mostly while I’m trapping. It’s a great, simple holster. A strap with a button holds the pistol securely. I don’t have any complaints about it and it was fairly cheap. It won’t win any beauty pageants but it gets the job done.

Uncle Mike's can go in the washing machine to get the smell out of them.

I have 2 and have nothing but good to say.


As I sat there last night looking at different options I remembered there was 1 holster I didn’t try. An old leather Hunter brand. It has worked well holstering both a # 10 Smith spe. and a couple 22 revolvers. Dam if it doesn’t work great on the GP100! It’s made for a 6” but I don’t mind the length.

So I strapped her on and went brush hog mowing in the field and woods trail.

Thanks for the comment Jim an Dave

Jim, if you sent me that hunter holster i can replicate it but for a four inch barrel. If i had a gp100 i could do more for you but without the gun i would have a hard time fitting a holster for it.

I use an Uncle Mike's Sidekick holster for my GP-100 in 6" with a HoloSun optic and love it. It can be carried on my side like a regular holster location, but I carry it in about an 11'oclock position in a cross draw, for hunting. I had to cut out a section on the top to allow for the HoloSun mount, then I used sinew to stitch it up, so it wouldn't fray around the edges.
