I am unable to photograph the target pistol. I anticipate many here have similar pistol set-ups to what I have.
***
- Pistol is Ruger Mk. III 22 LR (KMKIII512) with 5.5-inch heavy barrel.

- Scope mount base is Ruger OEM Weaver-compatible.

- Weaver 2x28 mm pistol scope is secured to scope mount base by Weaver Quad Lock® Detachable Rings that barely raise eyepiece bell above rear target sight's blade.

OEM target front sight remains.

Pistol is otherwise completely OEM on its exterior.

Whatever holster I buy must house scope within pistol's pouch. I have seen several holster where barrel-side is slotted to have pistol/revolver within protect carrying pouch while scope rests outside the pouch via the slot.

Other than my Mk. III the only scoped handgun I have fired occurred about 1982, an 8-inch barreled Colt Python that a friend had just bought.

So my ability to select a satisfactory holster needs improvement. Pistol's purpose is primarily small game hunting. There is no season for squirrels and rabbits where I live. So I'm a 10-minute walk, across the private airfield, to the "grocery store."

Secondary is target shooting.

I sometimes [also] wear a framed rucksack with waist belt. I also wear 2.25-inch Ranger gun belt with cross-draw revolver.

I'll appreciate any assistance.

Back in the day, Thompson Center made leather holsters that accepted a Contender with a Scope. I've also seen them in padded cordura. The fit may not be perfect, but I suspect it would fit a Ruger no problem.

Worst case, you could have one custom made.

Ask over at RimfireCentral in the Ruger section. All the Mark I-IV should be the same. The 22/45 has a different grip angle.
