Where can I get a Raiders holster for a 5.5 inch barrel

Post by Mark Brody »

I've got a S&W 1917 with the full 5.5 inch barrel, and I have no intention of ever getting it cut down. It fits in Todd's holster, but just barely. I'd much rather just have a holster that fits. Does anyone know where I could get a Raiders style holster for a longer barrel?

I believe Todd actually offers that holster in a long barrel version, at least on the deluxe holster. You may want to ask him.

Lee Keppler is your man! He makes a beautiful holster to fit the 5 1/2" barrel. And it's a true "working" holster, definitely not a costume piece.

Kind regards,
Craig

Anyone know how I can get in touch with him since his website has been down for so long?

Offhand, if you had a 6" holster you could use a 6" gun as well? Just a thought.

Lee Keppler's #: (619) 647-6744. If you have to leave a message, don't worry, Lee
returns calls pretty quick. Nice guy to deal with and some real nice gear as well. Image
