Buckmark Holster

[Dan V.]

Have a new pistol on its way (10 days) , a Browning Buckmark with a flat sided 5.5" barrel . Was planning on getting on getting another holster to fit my Pistol Packaging bandolier but it looks like they only make revolver holsters . Any thoughts on a nice leather holster with perferrably a flap . I'm sure I can find a Uncle Mikes to fit but would like something a little nicer .

Thanks , Dan

I searched for a Buckmark leather holster a month or so ago and learned that, for whatever reason, they are quite scarce. The only leather holster I found for a Buckmark was a $50 suede-lined, extra-magazine Triple K holster from Cabela's. I thought that was a bit more than a cared to pay, especially for a mass-produced holster that I couldn't inspect prior to buying, so I bought an Uncle Mike's Sidekick for under $15. For my purposes, the Sidekick does fine. To answer your question, I think you'll have to consult a custom leatherworker to craft a flap holster for your Buckmark. I'm sure that'll cost you a pretty penny though. Good luck, and let us know if you find something I missed.

Thank you , minuteman 1776 . Believe you are correct , so far that is all I've found , will probably order the triple k holster and see if a flap can be added at the local leather boot/saddle shop .

:cb2: I bought the Triple-K holster from Cabelas for a 4" Ruger MkII. Liked the holster a whole lot better than the gun. Since no other gun I owned would fit, it went with the Ruger when I traded. However, it really is a fine holster. Better than you would expect for the price.
