elenius Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Which should I get? I've looked at Safariland's 002, the CR speed holster, and ghost holsters. Anyone have experience with any of these? I want to use it with the Ruger GP100 that I have now, but it needs to be adjustable for when I get a different revolver...

BritinUSA Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Another option ? PWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) The CR, Ghost, or SpeedSec 5 would all be good chioces.

BritinUSA Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 This model of PWL has a covered trigger guard --> Model 1004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I don't know if the triggerguard widths vary between SW, Ruger, Colt and Taurus revos. I only have two S&W. Thus, I'd suggest you get a holster that either doesn't depend on the trigger guard for retention of the gun (like the PWL or the Safariland) or one that you can adjust the "hold" on that t-guard, a la CR Speed with the shims.

elenius Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hmm, what about the SpeedSec? The trigger guard retention is not adjustable on that one? Does the CR come with those shims? I would like the holster to be able to handle different barrel lengths, as I'm sure I'll want to use with several different revolvers. So I guess the safariland and the PWL are out.

Nemo Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Sorry, not familiar with the SpeedSec, nor with the Revo Ghost. The CR does include the shims and works with different barrel lengths. Now, I'm not sure if you have to get the Short or the Long CR to use with a 6" gun. I got a Long gun version and had to cut it to work with my 5" S&W. The Safariland, although had a non-adjustable length, retains the gun by the cylinder. For the longest time I used a Safariland made for 6" guns with my 625 five-inch. Go to the revolver forum and ask there. One of those guys can give you better info. I'm a revo newby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm a CR Speed guy. (See avatar) They're simple, durable and have a wide range of adjustments to suit your individual tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaels Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 most of the big dawgs are using the CR Speed, it's a good well made holster that is fast on the draw...and really holds the gun in place. I'm leery of the holsters with the front cut away, they have a tendency to let the gun come out when the butt is pushed forward. it may not fall all the way out, but when it does start to go, it's a scary feeling. I had it happen with a couple of those style holsters, so when using them, a retaining strap around the barrel/holster is used. That becomes a pain in the butt when you forget it at LAMR and when you finish a run, you've got to dig out the strap from where ever you hid it. Kydex pouch holster are ok until you hit longer than 4 inch barrels, then you find out how hard it is to pull the gun out of the holster. You feel like a monkey at the zoo scratching fleas under your armpits... Try a CR Speed and I think you'll be happy, I did and started replacing my other holsters with CR's... michaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
