I've taken a cheap nylon belt holster and notched out the front enough to fit my Super Redhawk with scope. The scope wears the see-through flip-up caps or I can shoot(and have)with the caps down when it's raining. A little thread and a black marker to cover the exposed foam and it works perfect and looks OK. And is perfect for a fast-draw. I really prefer to have my pistol carried on the waist. And I'm sure others think a pistol doesn't wear a scope. I've used this setup for over 10 yrs.
My question: Has anyone seen or have had a holster made similar to mine? I love the nylon. Leather looks better but after hours of rain, I'd prefer something more durable. Thanks in advance, Tony

When it rains it is time to get out the cribbage board and cards, or wear a poncho. Pistol packaging will make anything you want, in leather. Don't know about any custom nylon craftsmen. I cut up an Uncle Mikes and hemmed it, ugly but functional ;-)
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Cribbage boards? Cards? What a waste of good hunting time! Raining is the best time to hunt. Masks the noise and scent. Also the deer are more likely to be out and about rather than bedded down.
