Beretta

Was wondering if anyone knows if a Beretta Cheetah is close in size to any other gun. I need to make a holster for this gun and I don't see any molds for sale. Thank you in advance.

When I get holster orders I don't have the gun or mold for. I just buzz over to my local gun shop and trace the Gun at the store. When it comes time to mold it it just use a wooden spoon and get it close and then Take it back to the gun store to check fit. I have had good success with this method.

You can go on the manufacturers page, and get the dimensions. If they have a good profile photo of the gun, you can print it off full size, to match the dimensions of the gun. If the mfg page doesn't have a good photo, just go to google to find a photo. This is especially helpful on guns that are hard to find in gun shops. I have used this many times, and you get a more accurate drawing, and it's easier than chasing guns.

Thank you for the feed back. Going to try both options.

Gunbroker is also a good source. I just finished a pocket holster for a Polish P-64, . . . owner took photos with ruler beside the weapon, . . . did a few quick caliper measurements, . . .

I scaled it up on my printer to full size, . . . glued it to a piece of pine that was the right thickness, . . . glued another printer pic that was reversed to the other side, . . . cut out the pieces on a band saw, . . . rounded it with a router and some work on my power sander, . . .

Customer was thoroughly pleased with the outcome. Now, . . . if I ever need it again, . . . I have a Polish P-64 mold.

I've done several like this, . . . including revolvers, . . .

AND, . . . don't quote me on this, . . . but if my memory serves me correct it is very similar to a Bersa Thunder 380, . . . but just a tad more beefy than the Bersa.

May God bless,

Dwight
