Need holster for a scoped Ruger 51/2"
« on: July 17, 2004, 02:05:27 PM »
Does anyone know where I can find a LEATHER holster for a  scoped Ruger Blk Hwk 5 1/2 "?
 Only type I can locate are the nylon bandoliero types for around $30 and I'd rather carry it on my hip.
 Thanks

Try www.pistolpackaging.com and check out the bandido rig.  It may be what you are looking for.
You can use the holster alone without the shoulder strap and put it on your belt

Good Luck and let us know what you find that works for you.

I really am not concerned with protecting the scope, more of a carry issue as I hunt from a stand. So what I did this afternoon was take an old Hunter brand holster that fit my Ruger and cut a slot in the top of it so that the scope mount clears it  now the scope is outside the holster completely.
 It will serve my purpose of transporting it to and fro also I am able to use my cartridge belt loops too. When I am not hunting I carry it in a case to the range anyhow.
 It doesn't look the sweetest but neither did those bulky holsters with the scope covers built into them. :roll:
