Found the perfect holster for my 3913. What's it really for?

frank_drebin · Jul 15, 2011

Not sure what it's supposed to fit but I found a great holster today that fits my 3913 like it was made for it. I was able to pick it up for less than $35. I have a holster that I had made for my 3913 and this Desantis fits the gun better. It is extremely comfortable and retention is perfect.

Any ideas what it was designed for???

From your description, it sounds like it was designed for a 3913! =]

igor455 · Jul 16, 2011

maybe for the cs 9 .that would explain why the frobnt of the 3913 sticks out a bit

kbm6893 · Jul 16, 2011

Igor is probably right. I have a Desantis pancake holster made for the 3913 that also fit my 6906, the 5906, 915, (barrel stuck out a bit) and my CS9. Third gens of the same caliber all seem to work with the same holster. I have a Blackhawk Serpa for the 5906 that fits all the above guns, including the CS9.

There is something really cool about finding a piece of leather that really fits. I prev posted that I bought a 6906 and I found a Bianchi on Ebay. It was worn in just enough and fit perfect.

I also found one for my FS92 perfect

You find a nylon or plastic OK thats nice

But find a piece of Leather its next level than find it reasonable OH BOY!
I dont know why but this is a great pleasure of life

Did some research on the numbers and found out it was a run of holsters Desantis did for the PPS with the wrong logo. It should have been a Walther logo. Looking at the holster I can see that now.

desantis

Thank for the tip. I searched desantis on a popular auction site and just ordered.

frank_drebin · Jul 17, 2011

Excellent. I just looked and saw the ones marked "blem". In the description is says it has the wrong logo. Just know that you will need to relieve a little area where the decockers hit when not in the safety position. If the safety is on they don't touch. Depends on how you carry. I only have the left side safety and I trimmed out a small notch.

Shoud be fine for my 3953 and 6949. Thanks

Search "Desantis Blem" and it cuts it way down from over 1300 auctions to 39.

So my CS9 should fit a Desantis Kydex Holster that is listed for the 5906?

It should fit but you'll have a lot of extra holster at the muzzle.

Thanks! I just grabbed that leftie.

Two for the price of one ...

I found two (left and right) Don Hulme front break "blem" holsters for my new model 69 thanks to this thread.

The right for strong hand carry and the left for weak hand carry. Weak hand when backing up my AirLite snobby .357 which is my main carry gun.

WHER CAN I FIND THAT EXACT HOLSTER WITH THE S&W LOGO????

0849 · Jan 21, 2020

S&W Logo Holsters

The Accessories section of the S&W factory website has some holsters imprinted with their logo.

On a side note.....have a sig p239 and a s/w CS9...ordered a galco M5x296 holster for my sig....fits my CS9 perfectly. not kydex but thermoplastic and rides high....not expensive at all. It is a paddle holster....FYI....Hope i didn't drift too far off subject

If you're wanting a nice leather holster I bought this IWB model from Nelson Holsters for my 4040PD, which he has the mold for.

I found my 3913/3914(s) fits it just fine. The 4040PD is essentially the 3914NL, which has the angled dust cover, but in 40 S&W.

He makes OWB models too, in different price ranges.

SIG P225 leather holsters fit perfect for a 3913/3953, etc.

mbliss57 · Jan 22, 2020

I bought an IWB Galco Summer Comfort leather for a Sig P239 a fews years ago and it fits my 3913/14s and NLs. perfectly. It was a great surprise.

Found the perfect holster for my 3913. What's it really for?
