Simply Rugged 120 4 5" N Frame

[PauldL]

This is my favorite holster for anything Smith & Wesson N Frame
Its the 120 by Simply Rugged out of Chino Valley, Arizona
Rob does a superb job on these holsters
I also love his Sourdough Pancake Holster as well
But, the 120 is like a Tom Threepersons holster if you will - i just feel its the sharpest lookin holster for an N Frame Smith
As for how the gun fits and carries, its a perfect fit & when carrying, I don't even know that I have it on.
The one I have is finished in their Oxblood color

Wow, that is downright beautiful. The quality of the photos is impressive.

Would you mind showing a picture of the holster/gun being worn? Just want to see how it rides on the belt/waist.

A Simply Rugged holster is on my list to get because of the numerous recommendation by members here.

Thanks.

Absolutely- only thing is, im on vacation at the moment but, I'll be back home this coming Sunday
But, I would bet the farm that you'll love how it rides on the belt
I honestly can't even tell its on me when I walk around & that's impressive considering a 5" 27-2
Oh, & thank you for the compliment!
This ole Samsung s23 ultra has been phenomenal at taking pics

Thank you PauldL. Take your time with the picture. I'm curious because the 5" N frame is not a lightweight gun to hang from the belt.

Here's my 5" 27-2

Totally understand & it doesn't flop over at all either
I really love this holster - I wear a regular El Paso Saddlery Belt

Love it - that’ll do to “ride the river with” as the saying goes.

5” 27s are near and dear to me, too - looking forward to more pics of this holster when time permits.

I love mine, although I sold my first one.

Beautiful!
There's just such a "magic" to these older Smith's in particularly the 27

Dangit, now I’ve gotta post a 5” 27 pic, too LOL…

Dang! That looks brand new! Nice leather too!

Many thanks! The gun definitely has some wear that is well-masked by the near-dusk timeframe the pic was taken haha…that, and a post-cleaning dose of Renaissance Wax and it picks up quite a gleam.

I’m a total nerd for the likes of the Barranti Leather Summer Classic IWB holster for this gun (have a separate one sized for my 4” Model 28s). It works crazy-well for me.

Since everybody is posting pics, I'm going to jump in as well.

Heck, yes - are those Keith Browns on that fine 27? (Whatever stocks they are, they’re excellent).

No sir, they are Craig Spegel boots stocks. Thank you.

Got it - they look perfect.

Wow! That's slick! Love those Spegel's!

 

[PauldL]

All these pics just confirm (for me anyways) that theres nothing better than a nice 27-2 with a nice leather holster to match - i mean my goodness lol

 

[642Fan]

Wow! That's slick! Love those Spegel's!

Thank you.

I did some grip swapping and put the Spegel on the 3.5" and a set of Thai stocks on 5".
