Default Model 19 2.5 inch Holster Recomendations

I PICKED UP A ROUGH LOOKING MODEL 19 TODAY THAT IS IN PRETTY ROUGH SHAPE ON THE OUTSIDE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK ON SOME GOOD CONCEALMENT HOLSTERS. I'M LOOKING FOR BELT HOLSTERS AND NOT INSIDE THE WAIST BAND HOLSTERS.

Don Hume JIT. It's how I carry my 66 2.5. They're well made and inexpensive.

A Lobo Leather Enhanced Pancake holster is what I have for my model 19, 2.5 inch. I works fine and is very comfortable. Plus, the maker of these holsters is a member of this forum.

There are a lot of great choices for your M19, the Don Hume is a great choice as are Lobo's holsters. First decide on what material you want it made of, what features you do and don't want and what you are willing to pay for it.

I just got a DeSantis OWB holster for my M66 2.5 " on eBay for $7.00 I like getting high quality holsters for a small amount of money instead of cheap in cost and quality. I rarely spend more than $10.00 on a holster...I am inexpensive...not cheap!

My favorite holster is still my Kramer and Milt Sparks....not cheap however, they are as good as it gets.

Check out eBay using k frame holster as your search. Also check your local gun shops, pawn shops etc. I find great stuff for not much money in all of them

I got a Bianchi paddle holster for my 2 1/2 incher from Gunbroker. It is comfortable but not terrible concealable unless you are wearing a loose jacket.

I'll jump in with the Lobo Leather. Here is a snap-loop pancake that I prefer for ease of use and secure hold. Pictured with a 66 but of course the 19 would look the same. Ray at Lobo Leather will make what you want...check his site. I have several of his holsters and love 'em.

2 1/2" on the left and 3" on the right.

While my 2 1/2" Model 66 usually lives in an old Bianchi 9R shoulder rig, I also like the DeSantis #2. The Lobo suggestion is good, too. The Hume JIT is handy, comfortable and cheap, but the ones I've used have gotten loose after awhile.

I use a Galco pancake style for mine and it works well. Not a bad price and the cylinder rides above the belt which conceals well for me. It also tucks in well which helps me to conceal it better as well.
Best of all I can find them in stock at dealers or online and don't have the wait.

Gould and Goodrich B733-32. If you're left-handed, B733-32 LH. I have a G&G for my 3954 and My M64, "Luscious" is on the right.

Kramer Leather's Horsehide Belt Scabbard is the BEST I have ever found. A little on the pricey side, but it's custom made and will last virtually forever!
Their Horsehide belts are excellent as well, ( I find the horsehide to be much stiffer for much longer - better for gun holsters & belts ). Horsehide is thin, strong, stiff, durable and just works great!!

Once I started getting DM Bullard holsters, I've never looked back. The Bodyguard is awesome! Get one for your 19, you'll love it!

Well the Don Hume JIT won out. Only because I found one on clearance at my local police supply store. I love it so far. Very comfortable and easily hides it on my hip. Thanks for all the help.

I found mine at H&H Gun Range in OKC a couple of years ago on clearance. My 3 inch Model 13-3 or 4 inch Model 10-5 just disappears under my coat.

Simply Rugged's Sourdough Pancake. I have one for my 2 1/2" 19. It fits my 2" 64 as well. Simple, inexpensive (about $65), efficient, and a short turnaround on your order. It can be worn OWB or, with accessory straps, IWB.
