I have been looking for a concealment holster to carry the 945 4" but have been unsuccessful. Custom makes would be OK. I would like to know about anyone's holster experience in carrying the 945 4". I believe with only a 1/4" difference in the barrel lenght, the 945 3 3/4" could also be carried in the same holster. Thanks, James

Get ahold of Rudi at Black Hills Leather.

He'll fix you up just fine.

Thanks PeterBergh2 and rbert0005. I have ordered one from Kramer and Black Hills leather. Both gave a LE discount. Rudi was especially great to deal with. Now, its the three to four weeks wait.

You will be very satisfied with your holster.

He made one for my 3 3/4" 945. It fits perfectly.

I went with him because he uses a 3 1/4" 945 himself and was well aware of the nuances of 945s.

I have a 5" 945 and a 4506-1 and have discovered that the 945 fits my 4506-1 holsters rather handily. Stands to reason, as the slides on the 945's are basically tricked out 45xx series slides.

So maybe you can check the fit on a holster for a 4516 or 4566, I don't have a shorter barrelled 945 otherwise I would check it with my 4516-1 holster. I have Safariland open top and thumb break style paddle holsters that the 945 and 4506 both fits.

I'm still new to this forum but i use a website called www.packinheatleather.com it's to hard for me as a left handed person to try and find or wait for a good piece of leather.They are cheaper than retail with all the name brands.
