Can't find holster for PC 629 Light Hunter w scope

[dwever]

I have a Performance Center 629 with 7 and 1/2" barrell with a Leupold 2x20 scope. I can't find a hunting holster for this barrel length.

So I am thinking about buying a Galco KODIAK HUNTER SHOULDER HOLSTER for a S&W - N FR .44 Model 29/629 8 3/8" barrell, and modifying the holster with cork or something to accomodate the 7/8" shorter barrell. Or trying this with the S&W holster Leather Hunter Holster For The M29/629 8-3/8" Barrel

Will either of these work, or is there a better solution?

Thanks

Look at Bianchi, they have a bandilear (across the chest) holster that I like better than a shoulder holster. They have them for scoped and non-scoped revolvers.

I checked it out, thanks! But I am really looking for leather, but this may be my best option.

Anyone on modifying either of the holsters listed above?

Look at Von Ringler Leather in WY and/or Andrews Custom Leater. Or if you don't mind the wait, El Paso Saddlery.

I have been extremely happy with my Bianchi Hush System across the chest (padded nylon) holster. It works with a day pack and gives all day comfort with a heavy revolver in rough country.

I use the same holster to carry my scoped S&W Model 29 8 3/8" or my scoped Ruger Red Hawk 7½" barreled revolvers.

That is the same system I am using whitetail hunting this year with a PC 657 lite hunter. Across the chest seems to get it out of the way when hunting.

Just curious what kind of ranges are you shooting with the leupold 2x20? I have a 629 pc lite hunter and am wanting to put a scope on it either the 2x20 or the 4x28. Not sure which I think the 4x28 looks a little bulky. Do you have a picture of your gun w/scope mounted, I'd really like to see what it looks like

Thanks

If I were you I would look for a S&W shoulder holster #10 S I have one for my 657 with a scope and it fits fine and they were sold back in the 80's and in my Gil Hebard catalog they could be bought for less than 40 dollars @ dealer price, there still should be a lot still out there if some one would turn loose of theirs. The shorter barrel on yours would not be a problem with this holster. PM me with your email address and I will send you a picture with gun in it. Jeff

What brand and height of scope rings did you use on your 629pc light hunter?

Thanks in advance for the info

My Milt Sparks that I ordered last August should arrive any day - can't wait.
