TheButler Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi all, I've caught the revolver bug and I was wondering what kind of holster options I have for a S&W model 29 with a 8 3/8" bbl. I found some custom leather ones but they're all prohibitively expensive or shoulder holsters and the range I shoot at doesn't allow shoulder carry or crossdraw due to the direction of the barrel. I was looking at the Ernie Hill revo holsters or the safariland 002 holsters but I don't think they are long enough for the barrel. Could anyone shine some light on this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DAA Alpha X works fine with any barrel length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longbarrel Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yes on the Cup 002 holster. I've used one in competition for years. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteekay Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 What these lovely folks have said! I used a heat gun on my Cup 002 to get the fit just right for my 629. Super easy and fits like a glove, but you probably don't even have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamj Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I put my revolvers in a DAA Alpha X. It locked them in tight as a vault and it doesn't matter how long the barrel is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I occasionally use a 8 3/8 in competition. The guga won't work, not long enough Stick with the double alpha race master,or other of that style. Works with any length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
