Last week I replaced the fixed, 3 dot factory installed sights on my 22/45 slabside 4" with factory adjustable front and rear(front is the undercut style). The original sights were just not clear enough anymore.
After the swap, it won't fit the old holster. In fact it was one of those "oh crap" moments when I shoved it into the holster and the front sight snagged like a fish hook. Anyhoo, I'm looking for an economical(under$40) belt holster that will hold this little pistol w/o being ripped by that knife edge front sight. I need a safety strap and prefer a closed end considering the use this outfit gets. I use Hunter "multifit" holsters for the 5.5" versions of this pistol but want an appropriate length and hopefully a slightly snugger fit.
There aren't any gunshops around that carry a selection of holsters so I'll have to order whatever I get.
I appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thanks
