DannyBoyCustomLeather Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Hey there can I use a SW "J" frame 2" to make a holster for a SW 60-15? I can work out the 3" barrel and extended extractor pin but are there any other differences I need to consider? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted February 20, 2015 The 60-15 is a J frame with a 3" barrel. So the answer is yes as long as you take into consideration the 3" barrel and full length ejector shroud. The frames are the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DannyBoyCustomLeather Report post Posted February 20, 2015 I thought so, thanks for the reply! Customer said it dont fit and I made allowances for the extra barrel etc. oh well ill see it when he sends it back and ill find an actual SW 60 to try in it......

DannyBoyCustomLeather Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Camano I usually don't attempt a project without the exact blugun, to assure confidence in proper fit. I was having good success for a while, the problem I see is the FRONT SIGHT is also 1/4 maybe 3/8" bigger then the j frame snub nose that I used. My FFL reviews as well as myself failed to notice that difference.....shame. My first unhappy customer. I will have to order blue guns when needed, the cost of doing business.

camano ridge Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Yep your right, That front sight would definitely make things a little tight. Depending on your construction (pancake etc. and how tight your stitch line is you could possibly stretch it enough. However it sounds like you have already decided to not re do. You will find it happens occasionally even if you have a blue gun. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DannyBoyCustomLeather Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Scott I wish I knew this from the get go, I must add to SW notes. You said I could have sizing problems even when using a blue gun, yikes , have not had any complications till now. I have substituted a SW 686 L frame for the ruger GP 100, and have done a few shims for lasers but always had good results. I stitch tight and always think minimal material and size is better. Thanks for your advice Scott and the many blessings that this forum offers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
