Interest in Dark Star Gear holsters for K and N frames?

[Trajan]

I will be visiting Tom sometime in the next month and I will be bringing along my 4" 27-2, 4" 66-1, and 2.5" 66-1. Tom asked me to create a thread with pictures of my models so that anyone else interested in getting a holster for these can chime in.

Great idea...but no love for the L frame? (I'm selfishly thinking 3" 686+)

[Dagga Boy]

Yes, all of them....

[SLG]

Ill take a holster for that 66, you just need to send the 66 to me first...

[orionz06]

Yes, all of them....

Paging Wayne.

Yes - I would love a belt clip Kydex AIWB holster for my 2.5-in Model 19.

[23JAZ]

I want an AIWB holster that will work with both the 629 (http://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-model-629-0) and 627 (http://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-model-627-0).

629:
12179

627:
12180
I thought the 629 a long barrel 44?

[blues]

I know. That's why I included a link to the S&W site and a picture. :)

That's a handsome pair, Tom. I usually am not much of a fan of many of the Performance Center guns but those get my attention.

I had a DSG K frame holster once, it stayed in TX when I was down there visiting.....

[Poconnor]

I would be interested in all three

[Totem Polar]

4" K frame.

I'm personally not a fan of full lug guns. I think the older 586 and 686 are nice guns, but not quite what I look for in a feel good metal gun like classic K and N frames (the ones with real sights at least).

Well, I had Model 15's and 19's issued to me early in my career but alas, I don't own any.

In for all of them!

I asked tom a week or so ago about making me a deep riding rig for my 2.5" 66. He didn't think he could make it ride as low as I wanted. Maybe an attachment system that would allow for height adjustment?

I have a DSG AIWB for my 340 MP, great holster and the ride height is perfect.

So.... I don't know much about revolvers. I know J-frames, sorta, as I've done a fair amount of work to ensure our holster is compatible with as broad of range as possible. For this little venture we're gonna need to have things simplified such that we don't screw it up. We'll have the clip and loop/strut as an attachment option and possibly RCS overhooks. How things will work with the overhooks depends on the weight and the sights on your gun. For test fitting we can only ensure the fitment to the guns on hand. That shouldn't be an issue but as S&W has made some of these for decades on end it's not outta the realm of possibility that things fit weird. I don't want it to sound like a cop out but all we can make is what is shown above. Some adjustment will be available, mainly enough to make each holster too tight and too loose leaving what we've found to be a rather tolerable range for most. This should work out for everyone but I do ask that folks be mindful that things may not fit quite right.


I'll talk with Trajan and get the times squared away soon but I have a day or two of lead time allotted for these.


I'll have an order form on the site at some point this weekend or before Christmas to get them set up and will be listed as:


4" 27-2,
4" 66-1
2.5" 66-

Custom lengths are possible but I will request a measurement from the actual gun.


More to come later. I am gonna use a K frame blue gun, one that has proven useless for fit, to work up the attachment options and will post up later on this weekend.

Tom, as long as we're talking revolvers and not L frames, can you point me at examples of J frame rigs now that I just ordered one?

I'm sure I'll need one of yours for AIWB and / or pocket carry. Thanks and sorry for the digression.

The DSG clip on AIWB for J's is as good as it gets.
Can't beat it.

I fully intend to find out ASAP. It was your (and someone else's, I believe) posts that alerted me to the existence of the holster and for that I'm in your debt. I love my DSG for my 19/26.

Three inch K-frame is in the works, should see it in a week or three. If anyone has a special K-frame with some odd features that make fitment difficult please let me know and we'll work it into the mold. Not looking to offer more than one variant so we're hoping to make it like the J-frame and cover ALL models if feasible.

[zephyr]

Can't wait for the 3 inch k frame, it is the king of revolvers for me! I'm in as soon as they are available.

[nate89]

4" K frame.

Saw the threat title, came to post the exact same thing.

[zephyr]

For the three inch k frames, try to get it to fit both the model 66 with full underlug and rear sights and the model 13/65 without the full underlug and fixed rear sight.

Side note, the 3" model 65 is the best carry revolver in the world. :)

I'd be in the bag for a 4" model. I would need it to work with a 19-4, as well as a 3" 64.

[ffhounddog]

I have A model 10-8 4 inch I would love to get a holster for.
