Idpa Holster For S&w 19

[PoconoKen]

I am looking for an IDPA legal holser for a S&W model 19 with a 4" barrel. I have looked at the Kramers and they seem quite nice but are expensive. Ideally the holster would be a k frame revolver version of the Sidearmour or Forbus designed to be used with a 1.5" belt (CR Speed).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I appreciate all of your assistance.

Talk to Chris Stewart. He'll hook you up.

Ken - Both of the above are excellent makers, but did you want leather or kydex? Kydex is pretty nasty to blued guns, but it is faster.

Thanks for the input. I would prefer leather as my Model 19 was my Father's and has a great blued finish that I would like to preserve. Any suggestions?

I also found this in their discount section - I think it's the best deal:

Thank You again. I reviewed all of the selections and purchased the used rosen gunleather holster. It seems just what I need. I'll let you know how I like it. Just moved to the Poconos and joined a club that does IDPA. I belong to the IDPA and the USPSA.

Dang it, Ken, I was hoping you'd choose something else.

There's also a club in the Easton area (go south, take a left at I-78 or US 22, stop BEFORE you get to the PRNJ) that puts on good matches, and the MD is a revolver shooter.

Thanks Chuck. I'll have to check the club out. Will probably take my 19 to the range this Saturday. I have HKS speed loaders--they are what I grew up with and I use them in my 6 1/2" 29 , 10" silhouette 29 and 3" 629 and highway patrolman also so I'm real comfortable with them. I don't think they are as fast as the Safarilands but they are very rugged.

What rigs are you using?

Just some followup. Received my Holster and it is exactly what I hoped for. Excellent design, workmanship and materials. Fits my model 19 perfectly. Thanks again for all of your help.

For my K frames, I've got a (now discontinued) Dillon Master holster I use for carry and competition, and a Rusty Sherrick High Rise Double Loop as well; plus a Concealco IWB. I carry an HKS speedloader in a Safariland Split Six carrier, plus a speed strip in a Milt Sparks carrier.
