I bought a pancake style from DeSantis but it was too long.... It said it fit 2" model 10. Do I have some kind of weird gun?
My barrel measures 2" from forcing cone to the end of the barrel, but only measures 1,1/4" from the frame to end of barrel.
I am really looking for a pancake style holster with thumbreak.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Get in touch with Ray at lobogunleather.com, he'll make whatever you need at a very fair price.

Google "Holsters or Gun Holsters" and start looking through the manufacturers. Virtually every holster maker has one for a 2" K-frame.

AllGlock, I found the perfect holster for my M-10-7 2", for me at least. It is a Don Hume JIT Slide holster. It is a straight up holster (no cant) and can be worn strong side or crossdraw. My draw is very quick with this holster.......I don't know why......but there you go! I paid about $23 + S&H. If you want .....I have a fairly cheap source called Gunner's Alley. Good people, and quick too. Visit their site. Bob

I thought someone may have one laying around that they want to get rid of. ALSO, any one commercially made are too long for the 2". They are usually made for a 2 1/2 inch, and say the 2" fits... Which it does, but has about 3/4 inch extra below the barrel.

Got any pics with the gun in it?

Check with Ron at Lil Ray's Holster Company: [email protected] . Excellent craftsmanship and it won't cost you an arm-n-a-leg.

I'm not sure an extra 1/2" of leather is a bad thing. It protects the barrel and crown.

You could also check on Ebay. there is a seller that goes by usamike99 that usually has some good deals.

Galco holsters - they make two models for that gun, the FLETCH model has a retention strap, the Combat Master does not - ignore their prices, most gunshops discount their products.

Place a "Want To Buy" ad on the Forum.

Here's one that I made.

Handsewn Holster for S&W K Frame, 2" Barrel : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

Thats a really nice looking holster.

No I don't, but I can tell you that the barrel sticks out the bottom about 1/8". It is very good for CCW. It's simple and small on your belt......just right!!!!

No..... you can't have mine......but the price is low for a quality leather holster. Nobodie's givin' them away!!! Bob

I had the same problem with my 10-5 2 inch. Most of the holsters I found were for M-19 2.5 inch guns. The 10-5 will fit, but in some holsters, the extra .5 inch allows the gun to rock back and forth and I don't like the loose fit. I found a holster on this forum that was reasonable in price and does a good job of holding the gun. It's an older Bucheimer Clark, that's now out of business, made specifically for K frame 2 inch guns. I also used a Don Hume JIT; it's a good holster and very reasonable in price.

yea.. I dont want the barrel sticking out, and also dont want the holster too long.....Somebody must have one that will fit the bill? I like bulbheads, but I want a beltslide pancake, with thumbreak.

PM sent re: holster.

How about an original S&W holster speciffically for the 2 inch K-frame? Got one right here in front of me, marked B504L 32 on the back. It's not new but looks to be perfectable serviceable. Bottom is closed and holster is too short for a 2 1/2 inch barrel so it should be just what you're looking for.

If you could post a pic. That would be great!

I don't post many pictures so let's see if this works. I don't have any use for this holster but need one for a 6 inch K-frame myself if you happen to know of one laying around. You can have this one for whatever shipping is.

still looking for a beltslide with thumbreak

Part of the problem fitting your piece to a holster might be due to your "original" dimensioned M10. The current (later production) M10s have a slightly larger window in the frame and slightly longer cylinder, some might even with a 1/8th inch longer barrel. That will make the OAL longer. Standard makers try to put out a rig that'll fit all

When I tried to order a custom horsehide rig for a M10, the gun always was loose... enough to shake it out when held upside down. I talked to the maker and found that they had recently made a new mold for to the newer guns. They had an older gun and were eventually able to make one to fit.

If you get one built for you discuss this with the maker. That's a nice 10-7, I only have a 4 inch... but the barrel measures 4-1/4. Here it is next to a 10-5:

+1 ON FIST. I posted about them several weeks ago. Tell them a guy from Miami, FL recommended them. Their #9 fits so close to the body I barely feel my L frame 3". Prices are well below others.

Have you tried FIST holsters? They still make more conventional holsters for revolvers and might be able to help you. I've been pleased with stuff I've gotten from them in the past.

*******! Why did I not see the above post? Sorry for the duplicate.***
