Author Topic: Fobus holster (Read 722 times)

I would like a fobus holster for the 2 and 4 inch barrel on my 357.

I emailed them and they do not have a suggestion. I know they make it for S&W's.

Any Ideas

I would think that any holster made for the S&W 686 is going to come pretty close to the Dan Wesson 357.

I think you are right RollTide. Any holster that would fit a K-frame S&W with a lugged barrel should fit a Dan Wesson but I'm not sure Fobus makes one for a K-frame.

Fobus does make a holster for the K-Frame. I shoot with a guy that has a very, very old K-Frame SW and he just got a Fobus for it. I don't think it would work for the Dan Wesson though - what you say is true for the leather holsters, and for the competiton style holsters like the safariland, but holsters like the fobus are fitted very closly to the specific shape of the gun - fobus specifically has a very tight fit, and since they are rivited they aren't adjustible.

I will be seeing him next week, so I'll bring my DW along and see if it fits, but I doubt it will.

If you want a kydex or plastic holster because you are planning on shooting IDPA or something like it, you might consider blade-tech. They are more expensive, but definitely worth it - they also take a while to produce one, but again, are worth it. I know they make a holster for the new Dan Wesson .44's . If they don't produce one for your gun, they can custom fit one.

I found an all leather holster lined with sude for the dan wesson at pistol packaging fits great ! 1-800-545-8016
