Need Holster Pattern For Ruger Single Six W/6 1/2" Barrel

[olroper99]

Hi all! I have a buddy who lives a couple hundred miles away. He wants a holster for this pistol but is too far away for me to get an acceptable pattern off the actual gun...

And I don't have a dummy gun to make a holster from.

Anyone know where I can get a proven pattern for one of these?

Thanks!

Well, Al Stohlman's book "How to Make Holsters" has a western style pattern in it for a 5 1/2" Ruger. To lengthen it shouldn't be much of a problem. Mike

I have the pattern I made for this threepersons holster. It was for a 4 3/4 barrel though so it would need some length. It is also a .32H&R but that shouldn't matter in your case. Some length could be left outta the holster if he doesn't want a closed bottom. I could trace it and fax it if ya get me a number.

BTW, it's my first holster I made. Just finished my second, a thumb break for a 22/45.

Well thanks guys! I'm just going to order Stolmans book then.

LK...thanks for your kind offer!

I want this to fit pretty tight as he is going to have this mounted on a saddle and doesn't want a keeper strap on it.

Something about practicing for mounted shooting???????? LOL!

My vote is to go out and buy a new gun. As my grandson said to me" Papa, you can't have too many guns". What a great kid!
