    Default No Holster for the S&W M60 Hi-Viz?!?

    Guys,
    Wondering if any of you have found a holster for the S&W Model 60 J-Frame Revolver? I bought a new one a couple weeks ago, with hi-viz front sight and 3" barrel, and ordered a holster from Fobus for the 3" M60 at the same time, and was pretty excited when they came in together. Slipped that new revolver into the holster...and it wouldn't go half-way down due to the hi-viz front sight--sight channel way too small. What a disappointment! Well, figured it wouldn't be a problem so started looking around. Turns out it is a big problem to get a decent OWB holster for this gun. Just had a dealer send the brand new blade-tech holster for the J-Frame back because it didn't fit. Blade-tech had me send them pics of the gun since they were puzzled, and they contacted the dealer to say that they would have to manufacture an entirely new line of holsters for the gun...but nothing they have currently will work. So hopefully some day Blade-Tech will have one. But surely someone else somewhere in the world has a 3" M60 with hi-viz sights, and has found an OWB holster for it? Anyone? Thanks!

    Talk to Ray at Lobo Gun Leather

    http://www.lobogunleather.com/

    He's just up the road from you in Pueblo, if he doesn't already have a mold for your piece he can actually use your gun (although I'm sure he has a J Frame mold and can add a piece to make sure it has a large enough sight channel).

    He makes real good stuff and its priced well.

    Here's a pic of the one he made for my CZ 75 SA .40 (he used my gun as the mold)


    Here's some pics of one he did for a J Frame (a particularly pretty lemon squeezer).



    Once you get your hands on some custom made leather, Kydex will just seem like cheap plastic by comparison

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
