Default Leather for 2.5 in. Model 66

Just found a Mod. 66-4 at local pawn shop. Have been looking for a holster. There does not seem to be very many choices for a 2.5 in. What works for you? Thanks

I carry this one occasionally. It is a paddle holster by Sam Andrews. He offers it in OWB also. This one is for a 3",but can be ordered for a 2.5" as well.

I know De Santis holsters currently makes one specifically for a 2.5" M66. Don't know the model number so you'll have to google the website and find out.

Default Leather for Model 66 2.5"

I carry my 66-1 IWB in a "Texas Heritage" from Tucker Gunleather. Conceals fine under a t-shirt. I'll have to look into one of those Kramers for winter, though.

I have a Bianchi Model 5HBL on order for my 2-1/2" 66-4. I'll post a photo when it arrives.

How about an improved pancake from Lobo Gunleather with some floral carving?

I've had this El Paso Saddlery "Tortilla" since the '80's, and it my favorite for this gun...

Here are my 66's with Lobo leather. 2 1/2" and 3". I like the snap on holsters for ease of use and they are very secure.

While it's not a 2.5" gun, my 3" 65 works very well in a Wraith IWB holster from Seth's Gun Leather. I'm sure he could set you up with one for a 2.5" 66. He also has OWB holsters.

I carry my Model 66-1 in a Don Hume J.I.T. Slide holster. Works for me.

No one's yet mentioned the Sourdough Pancake from Simply Rugged. I have one for my 19-3 2 1/2". It also fits my 64-2 2". A great holster, only about $65. It can be worn OWB or, with straps that come as an accessory, IWB.
