mdwhitefield Report post Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I am trying to offer more revolver holsters. Specifically for the K frame size 4" guns. I get a lot of request for different variations of the K frame but I only have a Model 10 with with a heavy barrel and a GP100 for dummy guns. I noticed today that the M10 and an M15 fit pretty well in a GP100 holster I made. The picture is the GP100 holster so you can have an idea of what it looks like. Does anyone else use just one dummy gun (GP100 or 686) as a "universal) revolver dummy gun or do you have one for each model?

JLSleather Report post Posted December 18, 2015 You didn't add a picture of the 10 or teh 15 that fit "pretty well". I'd be surprised to see that, but interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiefjason Report post Posted December 19, 2015 My problem with the K frame mold is that it's a 38 only. The .357 has a beefier under lug. So I went and wrapped my mold's underlug with copper tubing. It took forever but I finally found an N frame mold. So now I have the J, K, L, N, and X frames. I try very hard to mold from the actual frame style. Revolvers are one thing I end up turning down a lot of business for because I just don't feel comfortable getting "close". That said, some frames do well across several firearms. I just did one for a Taurus 85 which is pretty much a J frame, which is what I have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Yep, that's my take, too. The M85 and many of the j-frames with exposed hammer can be interchanged pretty well. But I wouldn't swap a k in an L-holster. That's too much room. Put a little 'forming' behind the cylinder, you could get it to hold a K (even upside down). For a while. When it breaks in, not so much ... Duncan's usually has an N-frame in stock for those interested. Edited December 19, 2015 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdwhitefield Report post Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) You are correct, the 10 would fall out of the Gp100 holster upside down after it has been worn a while. I'm sure the Gp100 will fall out to after a while too. I am mainly trying to be able to build holsters for the 4" K frame. The 686 I am not to worried about because I can buy a bluegun for it or use the GP100. With the K frame it is harder to get the variations. The 4" K frame bluegun will cover the 10/64,13/65 with a heavy barrel, but then some of the 10/64 have pencil barrels. The 15/67 has adjustable sights and the 19/66 has adjustable sights with a half underlug so there are some big differences on a molded and pressed holster. I would like a dummy gun for each model because like you I make holsters for the specific gun. I am trying to figure out if I am being to specific. My main problem is I have not been able to find a 15 dummy gun or a 19 dummy gun. Edited December 19, 2015 by mdwhitefield Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Duncan's sells a 19/66. I'm quite sure of it. I have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdwhitefield Report post Posted December 19, 2015 That's good to hear. I have been trying for a few days to get them to email an updated inventory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
40Rock2 Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Intersting, I just made a holster for a GP100 using a Rings for the mold. The gentleman tried a SW K frame in it and it fit quite well but a bit looser than the GP100. I also use the same pattern for the N frame with a slightly bumped out stitch line.
