Looking for a high ride belt holster basket stamped for my 4" 28 any suggestions? Like it to ride high and tucked in tight

Ryan Grizzle (R Grizzle Leather) makes a really nice one. Here is one he did in horsehide for my 4" Model 57. It stays in place and is snug to the body. I seriously doubt I'll every begin to wear it out.

I have a Lobo I carry a 4" 629 in a lot while fishing, moving deer stands, small game hunting, and just messing around. It is an enhanced pancake. You can hardly tell you have the gun.

"ride high and tucked in tight". My Kramer holsters ride high and tuck in tight. They might do a special order for the basket stamped. I don't think so. I like the Kramer holsters so much I now carry all my 1911's and my n frame S&Ws only in Kramer. I think once you own a Kramer you just won't like anything else.

Groo here
I have had luck with Simple rugged.

There is a bit of difference between "highest possible ride" and "highest practical ride". Every handgun has a natural balance point, and that point must be no higher than the upper belt-line. Otherwise gravity will take over and the holstered handgun will tip out away from the body, compromising both concealment and security (retention).

The overall size, length, and weight of the handgun (including ammunition load) must be taken into account when determining ride height.

For your Model 28 4" revolver the balance point will be close to the rear face of the cylinder. A holster that places that line significantly above the upper belt-line is likely to invoke one or more provisions of Murphy's Law.

Best regards.

Donnie,

Here's a pic or two of my personal rigs that rides purty high.......The construction
technique allows it to hold the vertical without flopping over and all around like
most other holsters might be prone to do........,



Also, it depends on one's body type, for the proper cant and
dwell to achieve the best interference fit at the belt line for all day carry comfort.


Tested world wide...

Su Amigo,
Dave

I carry all my revolvers in MERNICKLE PS6-DA high rides.

No matter which holster you have, get a good stiff belt that fits the slots exactly. A good belt can improve an inexpensive holster. A floppy, flexible belt with slots larger than the belt WILL ruin the utility of the best holster. It's part of your carry system.

These ride pretty high, but aren't basketweave.

Donnie, this is one Dave made, it's as high as I can draw from (27 3 1/2") However, because I don't have any overhang (spare tire)at the beltline, it tucks in perfect. Also works perfect as a crossdraw when I have a long drive or flight.



Edit: I agree wholeheartedly with what CTI1USN said about the slots fitting the belt, but this one is the exception because, I think, it fits my body shape so well, who knows.

I bought one of those for my 3" or 4" S&W N-Frames.
As soon as I got it , I realized it was way to floppy to actually wear for off duty carry of an N-Frame.

I don't have it now, as I took it down to KRAMER LEATHER-Tacoma and showed it to them. They looked it over to see what could be done & threw it in the trash & built me a nice scabbord to hold the gun.... at no charge. I thought they might be able to stiffen up the leather, but they would have had to remake the whole thing...

Yes, I know the Kramers....but like everyone else I thought I had run onto something new that would get the gun up higher on my belt.....balance point determines how high it can go and it was wrong (for me anyway) with that holster... 6' 225-35

I still have & wear the KRAMER for that N-Frame, several for various size other N-Frames & snubby K-L Frames & 2 sizes of 1911's....All I wear is KRAMER pants/duty belts, since the 80's and I still wear the same ones today (I have 3, 1 black, 1dark brown & 1 Shark Skin)....(7 belt holes instead of 5 when they were built)..
I do have other leather makers COWBOY gear and some special made BLADE TECH Kydex gear that is excellent (they are also local to Tacoma area)....

Good luck with the holster, I still like the idea, but it was not near heavy duty enough for off duty carry of an N-Frame...

Personally I don't like them too high. The stocks will be in your armpit by the time you get the gun out of the holster.
To each their own.

Personally, I like Tex Shoemaker & Son. If they don't have it in their regular line they'll make you just about anything you want.

I had Ryan of R Grizzle make me a Georgia Snap for my 627 Pro and I love it.

A flat, two piece, pancake holster with loops or snaps on each side gives the best support and concealment. The top of the cylinder should ride at or just above the top of your belt. The construction should be the best quality leather with a leather or steel (preferred) reinforced mouth. You get better concealment IWB, but a 4" barrel is marginal for that. OWB holsters are more comfortable, but require a long cover garment.

I have OWB holsters by Kramer, Grizzle and Alessi, which are very good. Stamping is available at extra cost. Look at Ritchie and El Paso Leather too. I have a Sparks VM2 IWB for a 3" N-frame, which was worth waiting for. Off the shelf holsters are usually disappointing for fit and durability. Wait time for good holsters run from 6 to 16 weeks, and $80 and up.

+1 on these holsters.
