Who makes the best IWB holsters?

[baldguy637]

Got my first carry gun this week, Taurus 617SS .

I've shot/hunted with handguns for as long as i can remember, but never had the urge to carry untill recently. I was wanting some opinions on a good, comfortable IWB holster.

I've done some looking, but can't seem to find very many for my gun. Ebay has an Ultimate IWB Ambi Gun Holster for it that looks like what i'm after. Does anyone have one of these holsters? And if so do you like it?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Whoaaa, he we go!

Several postings will promote CrossBreed and kholster -- both fine products. Do a search but I think Crossbreed is Crossbreed Holsters > Home and the second site is Kholster

Other good holsters will also be mentioned. Take your time. Check 'em out.

MTAC > supertuck.

Better quality and a better functioning holster.

I've checked out both of their sites, and it doesn't look like they make one for the 617. Love the gun, but can't seem to find much for it.

Best IWB holster made has to be The Milt Sparks Versa Max II but I don't know if they make one for your gun, and they are about a 9 month wait right now.

What position inside the waistband will you be carrying? (ie; appendix, 3 o'clock, 4o'clock etc.)

Cross Breed makes a holster for you. The problem is that gun makers can have multiple number designations what is essentially the same gun. Your Taurus 617 revolver is going to fit a holster that is designed for the Taurus Models 85, 650, 605, 851, 731, etc etc. All of those guns use the same frame and same size cylinder so holster for them are interchangeable.

Those are Taurus's "small frame revolvers" the 617 is a "compact frame".

I need one for a 445,450,617 or 817.

I haven't really decided yet, just weighing my options at this point.

I couldn't find one for your exact model but Don Hume does make some IWB for revolvers.

I just recieved my holster yesterday, it had a 6 week backorder.(for a different gun) It's my second one and they wear very well.

That's my holster of choice

+1 for Crossbread. Quality and well made. Ive got one for my XDM and Love It

The BEST ????? Without a doubt the VersaMax II from Milt Sparks

for Supertuck. I have 1 for my XD 45c. It disappears in that holster. I need to get one for my Glock 26 next.

Another vote for crossbreed. If I can wear a 229 all day on my chubby short butt, and ACTUALLY FORGET IT'S THERE, I'd say that's a pretty comfortable holster. And they will make one that will fit your gun. If they don't have the model, they'll get one at no extra cost to you. Solid, and they do back 'em up.

I have had my bare asset highnoonholster for over a year and have been pleased with the quality and fit. They have resonable prices and mine arrived in about 4 days.

I don't have a lot of experience with expensive ITW holsters but I did order a Kholster a few months back and have been very happy with it. I believe they say on the website ( Kholster ) your gun may not be listed but they will make it. they are running a special right now that started April 1.

Another great IWB holster is Tucker Gunleather Revolver Texas Heritage, I have several of Tucker's holsters and let me say his quality is second to none. There is a 2 1/2 month wait time (but you will be very happy when you get it) and I checked they make the leather IWB for Taurus 617 models.

My favorite IWB is an Alessi Dual Talon, which they don't list anymore. See them on Ebay, and the gun auction sites sometimes. Holds my PM tight & close, and conceals easily on my bony frame.
