So grandma recently bought a Smith & Wesson Model 60 - 3 to take care of the mice problem in the kitchen. Shes looking for recommendations on a good conceal carry holster.
Pulling the piece from her apron pocket takes too much time. Besides, she keeps her pipe in that pocket and doesnt want to pull out the wrong tool when the mice are running. Probably something in an open top design would do the trick, as the mice are quick and run away fast when they see her go for the revolver.
Any recommendation for manufacturers of holsters would be appreciated. Grandma thanks you for your time and will give you a jimmy sprinkle cupcake and cup of coffee should you drop in for a visit.
Glad to help. Honestly, I couldn’t tell if you were really asking for your grandmother, or using grandma as a substitute for the more commonly posted “asking for a friend.”
“My husbands grandma wanted a new shotgun to shoot garden pests. Uncle said, no way, she will end up shooting one of us. So no gun. She was from southern Indiana, and a great shot even in her old age.”
Reads like an intriguing family history.
I didn’t offer my hard learned good advice just to be insulted by you! ;)
“Your grandma might look at the Chiappa Little Badger Deluxe chambered in 9mm Flobert. Don’t know where she would find ammo in the U.S. but it’s used as a garden gun in Europe.”
I try not to encourage grandma to go to Europe because she might start shooting English Tories. It’s a revolutionary family thing. Thanks anyway.
Perhaps I'm using the term more generally for larger rodents and pests. I actually use a .177 air pistol or rifle as my mouse guns, but I prefer the higher calibers for larger vermin that contribute even less to the world.

I tried my best.
Ah, looks cool and utilitarian. Thank you.
Grandma knew how to take care of business. Lots of stories
Okay, I want to thank everyone who commented on this thread, and grandma just got word from the man upstairs that you’re all going to heaven when you die, no questions asked.
Furthermore, you all have an eternal supply of ice cream and chocolate chip cookies or surrender monkey French arugula salad. Your choice.
If you have any questions, please call WHY-AMI-HERE.

To further complicate matters, I have a Pro Series, and Ive heard that a holsters for a standard 3 Model 60 and for the Pro Series are not always compatible. It is either the different-shaped underlug or the sight ramp. I am pretty sure my Bianchi will work with both. Crossbreed has their hybrid Super Tuck holster for the non-Pro Series model.
I have 2 made by this man. Fair prices for outstanding quality and service.
You will need patience. My order took two months. But it was worth the wait and every nickel i spent. They look as good as the day I got them 3 years ago.

Ah, complication, the bullshit of life. Grandma will meet the challenge and survive.
A S&W Model 60? Granny want to make sure those mice don’t get back up, doesn’t she?
EL PASO SADDLERY will make anything that you desire in a holster/belt/ammo carriers. - EPS does BEAUTIFUL WORK, too.
