GP100 holster recomendations

iblong · October 14, 2008, 06:59 AM

I picked up a Ruger GP100 4"357 Yesterday for a trail gun and could use some holster suggestions.I have a good learther trail holster,But I need a good concealed carry type holster as I may carry it ocationally in place of my 357 snubbie.I carry the snubbie in a Iwb but figure Im going to need a good OWB for the GP100 a bit of differance between the two.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,Bob.

That's a big piece for CCW. For me inside the waist band is out, too uncomfortable. I'd say you are at a shoulder holster. That means a jacket that you don't take off and leave buttoned so you don't flash your gun.

If you are inclined to carry IWB

Bianchi makes a pretty decent concealment thumb snap holster for this gun. I've carried the GP concealed with it but I routinely use this holster in the field while hunting or moving around on the land.

Simply Rugged, cannot say enough good things about these holsters, very well made, customer service is top shelf, and with their pancake concealing that Ruger is not too tough at all, and comfortable.

I am partial to my FIST #9

My El Paso IWB isn't too bad either:

My next purchase will be "The Answer"

+1 for Simply Rugged. I have the traditional Sourdough Pancake and am more than satisfied with it. Check them out, great people, great product.

WESHOOT2 · October 15, 2008, 09:22 AM

I (almost always) wear it in a dedicated Bianchi fanny-pack.

I was going to suggest Simply Rugged, Rob and Pat Leahy in Alaska made a standard "Pancake" (not "loaded pancake" w\ ammo loops as show above) for my Redhawk 4" .44. It's real nice leather and very good workmanship. At that time 2007 I could have order inside out loops, if deciding to carry it inside the beltline. I chose not to at the time. It fits what ever revolver you tell him (as long as it's a model they built for) just as it should.
I also had a holster with inside out loops and the standard belt slots for my SA XD 4". It'll take a few weeks to have it made and shipped. But I think you'll be happy with the results and the prices are competitive.

Another BIG +1 for www.simplyrugged.com I have a sourdough pancake for my 4" S&W 28-2 and cannot say enough about it!

Since it is 3000 days later, any other options?

Safariland 568 Paddle/belt holster works great for my gp100 with an untucked shirt.

Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake. And while you're at it, get there speed strip pouch.
