MuayThaiJJ Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hey guys, I have a new Ruger MKIV Competition, and it will soon have the Striplin Thumb Rest. Does anyone know a good holster that will accommodate this setup? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Tandemkross makes a nice Kydex holster for the Mark IV. You will then have to modify it with a Dremel for the Striplin Thumb Rest. I make my own holsters so I can accommodate then for the thumb rest by cutting the leather down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThaiJJ Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks, man. I was thinking of doing that with the "Tactical Solutions Black Polymer Paddle Holster for Ruger MK1V" I assume it's the same model? Looks identical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the cutting wheel and then the sander to make it look good. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I am using a Volquartsen holster https://volquartsen.com/products/1334-holster-for-mamba-tf The one I linked is for the regular Ruger Mk pistols, not the 22/45s. I then used the dremel cutting tool to cut away some material to fit the thumbrest. It's not the tidiest job, but nobody will ever see that part of the holster anyway.

Blackstone45 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Oh that's good to know - was it easy to set up for the MK IV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadman Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 With the very short trigger guard on the Mk iv, did it require a barrel support to the muzzle for stability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuayThaiJJ Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have the competition model with the Volquartsen clamp on comp so it was very long and looked a bit silly dangling from the Guga Ribas holster bit it held up fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Tandemkross victory trigger, and it just feels like it's too big and getting in the way of the passive locking mechanism that pops up when you push the trigger guard against the two white screws. Do you have the factory Ruger trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there is a bit of play when the holster is locked, it does retain the gun. Did you experience something similar, in that it's not a perfect fit?

Mine took some tuning, I did take my time until it secured the trigger guard well enough, and my Mark IV is heavy - 57oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
