Holster Recommendations for full size M22/M1917

Post by wild_weasel »

Hello,

Any recommendations for a Webley type full flap holster that will fit my new S&W 5 ½ inch barreled M22/M1917, that is Indy correct? Presently I’m looking at the 3/4 Flap 1917 Holster from El Paso Saddlery, while not Indy correct it is correct to this gun.

Cheers,
W-W

The standard military issue Webley holster will also work. That's how I carried mine until I had the barrel bobbed! :D

Fritz,

Where did you get you Webley holster? I’ve noticed quite a few vendors who carry them, with minor differences.

Cheers,

I also make custom Indy style holsters for most any pistol in any style. It is no problem to alter a Raiders holster to fit the full length 1917 and/or the Webley holster standard or dyed the Raiders color. Pretty much anything is possible.

You can email me direct to discuss if you like.

I've got a buddy who was a gunsmith, and knows of my interest in such things. He found me an original in nice shape. A little Pecards and I was good to go!
