I have been on a holster kick lately and was having trouble finding decent ones for my two Beretta 81's. I am partial to the Hunter Holster 1100 series since the first holster I ever bought was for my Ruger standard 4 1/2" and Hunter made one specifically for that gun. That was in 1976 and it still looks great and even fits with the target grips I added a few years ago. A couple weeks ago I was at a local Gun Store which carries a good selection of Hunter's and I picked up a Model 1100-3 for my S&W 41 5" field barrel. Unfortunately, the 41 is D&T'ed and I have mounted a rail on it and it wouldn't fit in the holster so I tried one of my 81's and by golly, it fit like a glove. Hunter used to make a size 1100-1 which is made for the Beretta but has been discontinued for some time. I did find a 1000-1 on Ebay which also fits perfectly and is almost identical in size as far as I can tell, it just doesn't have the extra snap. I did luck out getting one for my 41, it fits perfectly in the 1100-5 I got for my 1911.
