Well, deer season is over here in NC and as is tradition, I tend to take to the woods to squirrel hunt a few days in January (squirrel season ends 1/31). I went this past Saturday for the first time this year. Saw no squirrels of course, but two deer. Figures.......
I wanted to carry my Ruger 22/45 for the first time. I got it in late Jan of last year and really haven't carried it anywhere other than the range. It occurred to me on Friday night as I was laying out my gear that I had no holster for this gun...... I'd thought several times about looking for a holster for it last year, but never got around to it.
After digging through my box o' holsters in the closet and trying several uncle mikes nylon holsters out (some for guns I don't even own anymore...) I ran across a Bianchi Black Widow made for the Ruger P89. Believe it or not it was a pretty good fit. Not perfect mind you, but certainly passable. Good retention, good coverage of the trigger guard, comfortable. So that's how I carried it Saturday.
Now, while that Bianchi works in a pinch, I'd actually like to have a holster that is made for the gun. I also wouldn't mind having one that will fit it with a 30mm red dot on top of it. I know there are a lot of 22/45 owners around here, so the question to you fine folks is "what do you use?" Where did you get it? How much did it cost? Got a link? The usual drill............
Thanks in advance...
