does anyone here no of a good holster for the ruger mkIII .22 22/45 and also some mag carriers for the magazines (dbl's) my wife is gonna use it in the PSC forum day events.

thank you for asking...I too would like to have a nice holster for my MKII 22/45

preferably a fobus paddle type

I too have been looking and the only thing I have found today was a general holster from uncle mike's at my local firearms store for $18 but I would like an dedicated 22/45 holster that would fit and function better than an genral holster design.

A fobus was something I searched for but could find nothing and I even looked for a dedicated Ruger holster but no luck so far.

Also the mag carrier's I looked at where way to big for the 22/45 magazines, so I guess I will still be searching for something at least serviceable.

Bianchi makes a Model 7000 "AccuMold" synthetic holster and Galco makes the outstanding DAO Dual Action Outdoorsman holster for the Ruger Mk pistols but they accept pistols only up to 5 1/2 inches.

The DAO is very adaptable and has a cross-draw optional carry. The pic below shows a DAO for an X-Frame. The DAO for the Ruger is going to have the same characteristics but will look a little different.

I use an Uncle Mike's Sidekick size 3 for my Mark II. Its made to slip your belt through. I just use a seperate belt so I don't have to hassle with the belt I'm wearing. Makes it easy to get on and off. My Mark II is about 10 inches long overall and fits
in the size 3 very good. Have been using this set-up for about 15 years.

there are a number of nylon holsters that will "carry" a 22/45, but the one's I have used do not allow a smooth draw due to the front sight blade snagging. As for the real custom fit holsters, I have NOT seen any advertised specifically for the MkII/MkIII 22/45.

I did a search on eBay just now using "MarkII holster" There were several holsters advertised as specifically for the
MarkII. Saw some name brands that I recognized.

please note that big 54r and I BOTH stated we were looking for Ruger 22/45 model holsters. There is a difference between the "standard" Ruger Markx pistol and the Ruger Markx 22/45 pistol. The grip frames are not the same.

The grip frames are not the same.

That is true. However, the grip frame doesn't have anything to do with the holster as it remains outside.

A 1911 holster doesn't care whether you carry a single stack gun or double.

I just went to your website and looked at the Bianci...I would like to see one with the 22/45 in it, then I'm getting one! That's exactly what I have been wanting!

Thanks

because of the upcoming psc forum day I got the uncle mike's sidekick general holster for my 22/45 and it seems like it will work for the class. It fit's snug and draw's easy so I don't thiunk my wife will have any problem's, it also seem's durable enuff.

The mag holder's on the other hand are way to big, I got some yesterday at the Pasadena funshow from pro-tech holsters, it is a double that will need to be 2 deep in each pocket so I need to find 2 more 22/45 mags. They where $22 buck's at the show so maybe I can get the local gunstore to order some for about $18 apiece which is what I got my last 2 for...
