SP101 357mag 2.25" OWB Holster

The title says it all. I've been diligently searching for a quality OWB holster for my SP101 357mag 2.25". Prefer leather, and recommendations from current SP101 owners. Thx!

I had a Galco Fletch for my Sp101. But both are gone now. Great holster.
Now I have a Galco Hornet for my S&W 442. It's a cross draw holster, perfect set up.

Henry Cassady makes great, affordable Tom Threeperson style leather holsters for the 2.25" and 3" SP101's. Check him out under h.c.leather on Ebay or pm me and I'll give you his email address.

I like this one. It looks a little different for the SP-101 but the gun fits well and it has some versatility. My only complaint is it is a little squeaky. Price is $44.03 .

i am not a current owner of an sp 101 but a former, i only sold it to buy my lcr. in the sp 101 i used a desantis thumb break scabbard, i also have that holster for my lcr. great holster

Well, I'm going to throw a curveball here. FOBUS holster. We encountered them at Academy Sporting Goods. It was $26+tax, about $10 cheaper than direct from their website. It's different, for sure, but the gun fits the holster well. Evolution is the style we bought.

Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake holster is perfect for my SP 101. Holds the gun close to my body and the leather is a bit softer and more flexible than other holsters I have (including Simply Rugged Sourdough that I purchased for my GP 100). As a comparison, the S&P Shield 9mm I own is thinner than a revolver but prints more in a DeSantis owb holster than the SP in the Simply Rugged. All things considered its my favorite carry setup.

I appreciate the feedback. I went ahead and ordered the Galco Hornet for my SP101 357 magnum w/2.25" barrel length. So many quality choices. Thx again.

Doesn't get any better than the Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake, plus it gives some nice options.

My Galco Hornet arrived last week. Leather, stiff, but was surprised it fits more than just the SP101 model according to the label. I thought is was model specific. The fit is acceptable. I tried appendix carry and cross draw. I didn't like the feel in appendix, but cross draw felt fine.

This new SP101 when purchased was never intended to be a primary carry revolver. But I see a future for it during the winter months when wearing a vest. Overall I'm happy with this holster, but if it were to be carried more often, I'd chosen a custom fit strong side holster instead.

I like a cross draw for driving.
