Safariland Holsters for 4-Inch K-Frame Revolvers

TJm15.38 · Apr 4, 2023

I think some of the classic holsters for 4-inch, medium frame revolvers were the older Safariland black leather holsters. The basket weave leather is shown holding my Model 15 with stag grips. The plain black is shown with a Model 10. Both holsters size #29 are a perfect fit for the S&W K-Frame revolvers. The interior of these is more like a suede leather that really minimizes holster wear. I bought the smooth leather #29 in the early 1980's soon after I acquired the Model 15. The basket weave pattern holster was purchased for $20 in a pawn shop just last year. With a little clean up and leather balm, it looks almost new. I don't think they make these anymore. It seems like every cop I saw in the 1970's had a Safariland rig with belt, holster, speedloader pouches and flashlight. Guess those days are long gone. If any of you have some similar holsters, I would like to see them.

The 8.375” basket weave and 4” Flap are both Safariland.

I also like the Safariland model 29 and have several.

On my favorite, I moved the belt loop to better suit me for rake and hang. I've threatened to do more of them, but I've been lazy.

The top & bottom sewn loop on the 29P - for paddle - and some snub versions hangs about the same although higher.

I was never happy with my attempt at a slightly larger female side strap on the N frame M-29. It's not as much larger as it looks.

Another fan of Safariland back in the day. Carried their products 90% of my career. Much better than Bianchi.
Sure would like to find a tan, basketweave, lined 4 inch K frame version.
