Help with choosing holster for SP101

[Woodsloafer]

Not having a lot of experience with holsters, I was hoping that someone might be able to tell me the differences (besides price) between this two holsters for a 4.2-inch SP101:

Anyone have any experience with either one? Does anyone have a suggestion for another holster?

Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.

I have a Simply Rugged Silverdollar Pancake ordered for mine.

The difference is the angle that the holster carries the weapon. One has no angle, to unholster you pull straight up; The other has what looks like a 30 deg cant forward, to unholster you have to pull slightly forward. For the type of holster for recommendation, it would depend on the use you intend. I like pancakes better, they conceal well and spread the weight of the weapon better.

Also one listed for 4" barrel and the other for the 4.2" barrel. Might be enough diference that the snap may not snap shut.

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the Simply Rugged holsters have a 2-3 week delivery time. Are they pretty good about getting it to you in this time?

The Silver Dollar Pancake is a good choice. I carry my SP101 3in every day I am working around the place or out in the woods. The pancake protects the gun well and rides on my belt when wearing jeans. I also wear overalls a lot and the pancake works like a pocket holster in the rear pocket! I do conceal carry the SP some in the winter and I have a "minimalist" I wear OWB. My wife's J frame fits that one too.

Simply Rugged will deliver on time or a little earlier. At least that's been my experience.
