shoulder holster like the Bianchi X15 for a 6 inch Model 29 that will fit big/tall?

redtr6man · Mar 6, 2015

I have a brand new Model 29 with a 6 inch barrel in .44 mag. Had to buy it once I saw S&M was making them again in their classic series, as I previously owned one in the mid 1970's. Now I am looking for a quality leather shoulder holster for it. My problem is the Bianchi X15 will probably not fit me these days. I am 6'0", am large framed, weigh in at 285, and wear a 56 long sport jacket. I had the x15 back in the 70's when I weighed about 215....it was a bit tight even then. I am assuming it certainly will not fit me now. Do you guys (or gals) know where I can buy a custom leather spring loaded "Dirty Harry"holster like the X15 to fit me? I know that the "Original Dirty Harry Holster" is an option, but upon speaking with the owner I learned that the cost is $440 for my size (between a 3XL and his 4XL), and the wait time for an order is stated as 6 months. He has a quality product, but golly, the price and wait time for an order are eye brow raising. Any ideas, guys? Robert

Yes, take your existing X-15 to a local saddlemaker/leather craftsman and have the shoulder band re-made. IMHO, the X-15 Bianchi is one heck of a good holster for the M 29/629. ................

Lobo doesn't make a shoulder holster for revolvers but you might check this out. It's not spring loaded but worth a look. I'm 5' 10 at 285 and their shoulder harness fits me fine. I have a Miami Classic II.

I forgot to add Galco uses the same shoulder harness for the horizontal holsters so there is that option. Don't start with the muzzle direction on the horizontal shoulder rig either, I read it all. LOL
