Default S&W 908 Holster Options

I'm looking for a leather OWB holster for my 908. I have a Don Hume Yaqui Slide on order, but really want something a little more substantial.

The Bianchi Shadow would be perfect, but they don't list them for the 908. They do list them for the 909, 910 and 915 models though. Are these models close enough in size for the holster to work?

I do have a friend that does good work that told me that if I leave the gun with him for two weeks that he will make me custom leather to fit it.

Any other suggestions?

Depending on whether or not your gun has a rounded trigger guard or squared one almost any 6900 series holster will work for you gun. My favorites are Kramer #3 IWB and his MSP paddle holster. Don Hume is great stuff as well. Your 908 is the same thing as my 3913/6906/469 which may help in your search. I have also found that Sig 239 holsters fit almost like they were made for it....might work for you as well.

In addition to the 6900 series holsters, a holster for the Glock 23 should work as well.

The 910 and 915 holsters would work, but are longer than the 908 slide.

If possible you should try and fit your 908 in the 6900 and 3900 holsters. Some that are "fitted" tightly for those pistols won't take a 908 due to the different slide contours. Regards 18DAI.

I use a Don Hume 721OT with my 908 for every day carry.

Good! I hope it works out for you. I had one for my Sig P239 and though it's not custom, it did the job.

Kinda stiff at first, give it a couple of days, it will break in nicely. I'm sure you'll be as happy with it as I am with mine. I use the flat plate mag on my 908 for more concealment.

I just ordered a Don Hume 721OT for my 908 and will have to wait six to eight weeks for delivery. Hope it is worth the wait.

Default S&W 908 Holster...Maybe?

I don't know if this one is made for a 908 or not. Got it in a local gun store for $30 OTD last week. It was in a baggie with "CR" written on baggie with a sharpie. Back of holster is stamped "CR"

All the bumps and dents moulded in the leather are in the right places for a 908 and it fits perfectly...works for me.
