Holster Kit questions....

Post by mergus »

Hello All. Its that time of year again, when the wife starts bugging me for Christmas present ideas. I think I want to tell her I'd like a holster kit. When I looked online for such things, The Tandy Co. seemed to have what I was looking for. Then the question of size came up. I'd like to make a holster for either my NAA mini with the 1 5/8" barrel or my Ruger LC9.

So, my question for you guys is, do you know if this kit would fit an LC9?

Or would I need the medium large kit?

Any other ideas you have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mergus

The display has what looks like a Beretta TomCat .32 holstered, which size should be compatible with a Ruger LC9s, but think it would be too small for the slightly larger LC9.

I'd definitely recommend the Med/Lge size.

If you buy such a kit that's a little too big, it's fairly easy to cut it down to the size needed.

It's quite a bit harder to stretch the leather. ;)

If it ends up overly large, it can be wet molded to a very nice fit. I agree, get the medium sized kit.

If it does not fit your pistol, then buy another pistol that does!!..…. :wink: :wink:
