[Victor-TNVC]

Presently looking for holster options without light or red dot compartments. Just a simple holster for this tactical .357 sidearm at the moment. Thanks!

Welcome to this great forum. Bianchi has a ballistic nylon holster for the 4" N frame, that's relatively cheap and very functional.

Thanks for the welcome!

My 327 M&P R8 has a 5" barrel though? Also will this holster allow the weapons picatinny rail? Thanks

Safariland makes competition holsters for this gun. There are some variations in texture, barrel length, allowance for barrel diameter.

Sorry, I thought it was a 4" gun. Dillon has a leather belt slide holster for a 5" full lug N frame, it may work without the light mounted.

I just bought a new 327 M&P R8 as you did back in October. Can you tell me if you found one and if so who it was.
Thanks

Sorry to bump this old thread guys, but has anything changed in a year? I still cant find a black holster for the M&P R8 anywhere. The post above did not specify a part/model # and I can't find it.

Any help?

Try this link to Sidearmor holsters. They may have what you need.

I bought one for a different pistol and the quality was nice.

Good luck,
K.

Appreciate the link, but, I don't believe that one will fit.

It says "Will not fit the revolvers with the light rail (unless it's removable)" and "Please note that the scandium frame N Frame revovlers will not fit in this holster due to the differences in barrel size"

The R8 has a fixed light rail in front.

I went ahead and sent an email to S&W for holsters. I'll post the answer when I get it.

This is what i get for buying an odd model.

I got a Blade Tech holster for mine, it took about a month to get but it is made so you can have the light rail mounted if you have the TRR8. http://www.blade-tech.com/SRB-...Approved-pr-939.html
No the Sidearmor holster for a full lugged stainless gun will not work, the barrel shroud is too big.

 

[msnbcnnbcbs]

Got a reply from S&W, heres their response:

"Hi, I suggest trying G&G leather at 1-800-277-0732."

After some googling with this info, I found this: http://www.gouldusa.com/

A search of the site turned up nothing. I will call them and blade-tech tomorrow.

Groo here
I had Raven holsters our of Cleveland Ohio
make mine to fit with the rail and
scope mount on but without a light or
scope installed .
also sportsmans guide has a holster made
to fit a scoped revolver.

The place S&W recommended, G&G (Gould) said they had nothing for the R8 and said they do not do "one-off" pieces. A minimum order of 25 is required.

Blade-tech said it would "probably not fit" (the TRR8 holster, that is) but did offer to make a custom one. I would have to ship them the gun.

Sent back an angry email to S&W about their "recommendation".

nuts!

Try Bladetech. They just made one for my 325 TR revolver. And I am sure they have one for the M&P R8. When I had them do the holster they did not have a holster for the S&W Performance center guns with the light mount rail. I sent them photos and measurements.On delivery The package was marked M&P R8 4". It fits my 325TR. The folks at Bladetech were very accomadating.

 

[thomaswerner]

Do you still like the holster for the R8?

 

[thomaswerner]

Anyone else HAVE a hostler for the R8 and willing to post a photo of it?
