Regis Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I'm making a wester style holster for a Taurus 66 (Clone of S&W 29) with 6" barrel. It has an adjustable rear sight and I am wondering if I should stop the holster just before it gets up to the rear sight. Or, should I bring it on up to the base of the hammer. The sight mount is pretty sturdy but, I would like to know the right way. Thanks, Regis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hatley Report post Posted January 23, 2008 REGIS when i do my holsters , the front of the rear site will rest on the top of the holster, with mabey just a tad of clearance. after all it is an adjustable site ,dont want it being bumped too much.

Hidemechanic Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Not exactly sure what this sight looks like but what I have done when I cover the adjustable sight is add a build up in front of the sight edge. Explaination, the piece that forms the 'V' in the rear sight is at the rear of the sight ramp and is higher than the sight ramp. The sight ramp ususally tapers toward the front (maybe your's doesn't, doesn't matter I guess) I fill the space along the sight ramp to level (or just above it)with the top of the rear sight piece. When I shape the holster this leave a relief for the sight so the sight itself isn't being rubbed by the holster and is also protected by the holster. That make sence? Hope so. Yes, I usually cover the rear adj. sight.GH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regis Report post Posted January 24, 2008 This sight is pretty high up, about 1/2" above the barrel so that is why I asked. Thanks for the input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
