Default Paddle Holster for 3913.

I am thinking I am going to order a Kramer Paddle Holster for my 3913NL, talked with them today. They were unsure if they had a mold for it but would get back to me. If they do it will be several weeks to get it made.

In the mean time I am hoping someone can direct me to a maker of holsters that makes a paddle holster for the 3913. I need something to get me by. Not looking to spend a ton on a fill in holster.

Thanks

Fist, Milt Sparks, Mitch Rosen,Alessi all do 3913NL as I have purchased leather for the same handgun from the mentioned craftsmen. The 3913NL is the same gun as the 3913LS (Ladysmith) Just tell Kramer it is a 3913LS and they should have a mold. I even have a mold for the 3913NL/LS that I picked up to help break in the leather.

I use a Kramer MSP for my 3913 and have yet to find any holster (paddle) that is even close to it for comfort and retention. It is FABULOUS and I don't even work for Kramer. Most of my holsters are now either Kramer's or Milt Sparks. Greg has a mold for 3913 unless it has been discarded which I doubt.

PS. for IWB useage take a look at his #2&3 for a 3913 as it is in the same league as his MSP. You will NOT be disappointed in a Kramer holster ever......

My favorite paddle holster for the 3913 is the Safariland 5181.

It is stamped for the 659 and 5906, but holds my 3913 like a glove.

Easy on/off with superior retention during carry/draw. Regards 18DAI

Funny you should mention that...what I have is a Bianchi Accumold paddle holster that fits the 3913. It's relatively concealable, depending on your build, clothing, etc. You can have it for the cost of postage, if interested. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested.

+1 on the Safariland 5181 (open top paddle holster that the DEA uses). It is very light, rides high and is ultra comfortable to wear, especially with a lighter gun like the 3913. It also has a retention screw that you can adjust to your liking.

Here's one for $46.50 and it looks like that they have it in stock for the 3913. Safariland 5181 Paddle Holster

I hope this helps.
