SP-101: Holster Advice Wanted

seeker_two · July 4, 2017, 09:51 PM

I have a SP-101 with a 3-1\16" barrel. I have a good OWB holster for it, but I'd like a better IWB holster than what I currently use. Here's what I'd like in a IWB holster:

Kydex only. No hybrids.
Belt clip or snap loops. No J-hooks.
Adjustable tension screws (not a deal killer if it has good retention).

Any suggestions on where to start looking?

Thanks in advance.....

Honestly your best bet would be to find someone local to you that does kydex. I had one that a guy made for me, molded off my pistol (not a blue gun) and it was great for carrying. I no longer have the gun and the holster went with the sale, or else I'd offer it to you. 151006_001.jpg

Have had good experience with Vedder Light Tuck holsters, for a Glock 26 and now for a S&W 45Shield; if available for SP-101, you might take a good look there. Mike

Backtracking here, just checked Vedder website; looks like they don't make holsters for SP-101.....

I know a place nearby that could make a custom holster for it, but I'd have to leave him the gun to mold. I kind of hoped for an off-the-rack solution. My favorite IWB style is the Blade-Tech Klipt Ambi. It works great with the LC9 & SD9VE. I'd like something like that for the SP-101.

Cook Holsters has what you're looking for. Good guy with fast turn around times.

I just don't care for leather or synthetic leather IWB. Personal preference.

I just received my apollo aiwb holster for my 2" sp101 earlier this week. Second one, the first was for a Sig 229... both are great holsters and I can recommend them.

They are my only kydex ones as I prefer leather and my others are either Wright Leather or R Grizzle. Both make amazing holsters as well.

Thanks, reap. I'll check it out.

I can't add much to that. Sounds like you have been down the hybrid road and were unimpressed. Good luck sir.

I know of one other kydex that's not in stores. The man's name is John he is a good guy Marine Vet makes them in Scottsdale AZ they are called Hawg Holsters. May be something that you like may not. You can google it if you are interested and make your own assessment. Not trying to be blunt but not writing an ad either since I don't use kydex

Was hoping to find a Cordura holster lead thread
