Hi guys! For the life of me I cannot find the outside dimension specs for the 4046TSW I have coming in. I'm looking at used holsters (-$) for occasional carry and few are listed for the 4006 let alone the 4046.

Thank you!

As I recall, the 4006TSW/4046TSW is slightly wider than the 4006/4046 non TSW but not significantly wider - forgot about the rail difference most (but not all TSW) have attached utility rail under barrel which would affect holster selection - MIGHT fit same holster unless holster is rigid or super tight on 4006.
Also seems like I recall the 4006 was based on 5906 frame size so 5906TSW/5946TSW holsters should be same as 4006TSW/4046TSW holsters (?) (Again I believe the 5906TSW/5946TSW are slightly thicker than the non-TSW and probably has the attached rail)

According to what I've read, the specs for the 4046TSW are the same as a the 4053TSW.

Genitron dot com has spec info on the 4053TSW - one with or without the rail.

I'd look at Don Hume for a holster. They have a variety of options and were providing holsters for law enforcement in the day.

NOT TRUE - the 4053TSW (and 4013TSW/4056TSW) are "compact" 40 with a 3.5 inch barrel and a 9rd double stack magazine while the 4046TSW (and 4006TSW/4043TSW) are "full size" 40 with a 4 inch barrel and an 11rd double stack magazine - width is probably the only common dimension.

AND in my previous post I forgot about the rail - most 4046TSW and 5906TSW will have attached rail under barrel which will probably influence holster selection.

No biggie, thank you both again.

It might help if I had the outside measurements if anyone knows? I bet it's close enough to many other larger 40's.

Genitron lists a 4006TSW as 7.5in. in length with a 4in. barrel. Weight is 37.8oz. No height or width given.

My 4046 is 5.5in. in height and 1 3/8" wide.

I don't carry my 4046 often, but when I do carry mine it's in a Yaqui Slide.
 
Thank you so much! I'm actually looking at some of the older IWB/paddle holsters that fit not just one gun type, in the spirit of a Yaqui. I've lost 20 pounds and my pants are pretty wide for me now!
