Anyone know of anyone that makes a Kydex holster for a 4.75" bbl .454 Casull?

Get ahold of David Elderton of KyTac:

He molds his holsters around actual guns, he may be able to get a hold of one or maybe you could send him yours......Good Luck.

...and he does good work and excellent customer service, too.

For me of course. Y'all mean... No one Stocks such an item?

No, Scott, you got me thinking. My Casull is my "Woods" Carry Gun. Rain, Snow, etc... leather gets wet and retains water which is not good for Metal (even if it is SS), same with the "soft" nylon holsters (which I currently have). I'm thinking Kydex.

Seeeeeee I wasn't kidding when I ask you about one for a Casull (well, actually I was but then I got to thinking).

And no... I am not converted. I'm looking at application.

I asked the guys at Blade-Tech for a S&W mdl 66 3in that I just bought (nib, but in inventory since '99 and won't be replaced by the shop that I bought it from). I was told something along the lines of 'we'll make it (a holster I hope) for anything'.

Sorry can't get the exact reply right now, but I HTH.

Let me know what they answer!

I can make you a holster for your 4.75" bbl .454 Casull but I would need the pistol for a couple of days. If you can part with it I'm in Jasper Ga. North of Atlanta

I currently make holsters for Glocks, assorted 1911s, S&W revolvers, Berettas, Kahr MK9 and Colt Pony's
Most holsters are $45-$55.

Have a look at the product sidebar in Rick Miller's "Tactics" column in the current (Aug 2000) issue of COMBAT HANDGUNS to see a writeup on Mike's Talon Tactical holsters.

He sent Rick one of his holsters for a little Colt Pony .380 and it's sure a nice little rig.

Mike; you might want to post the URL of your website.

Thanks everyone. Guess most Tupperware Holster makers can fabricate one.

Now... which one to choose... decisions decisions decisions.

I can vouch for Mike Benedict's holsters. They're made of a heavier Kydex than most of the others, and he takes the time to get it right. You won't beat his prices either.

Heck, anybody that can make a holster for a H&K VP70z that works has got to be good.

Hey fellas, I checked it out, and springbokinc can't be beat!
