Picked up a Python Combat Elite 3" for concealed carry, but having difficulty in finding a high quality IWB CCW holster. Any suggestions?
I've never EDC'd a wheel gun, but +1 on the VersaMax II. I use it with ALL of my EDC 1911's, which most people consider to be heavy pistols, and I barely notice the weight with the VersaMax II and a Daltech Force Bull belt rig.Those are pretty hefty with the unfluted cylinder (I need to weigh them both sometime). I think the Galco Miami Classic II Shoulder Hoster is a great option, especially with the weight.
For IWB, my preference is a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2, but that will take some time. If you want something quick, the Garrett Silent Thunder Warrior can be had within a few weeks. High quality, but to me it doesn't carry as easily as the VM2.
For OWB, I've found the Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake to be comfortable, very concealable and quite durable. Also reasonably priced and available with a short lead time.
That's where I started my love for the VM2, with my 1911s. When I started buying revolvers, I was skeptical about using the VM2 with one, but ordered and am now convinced. Still one of the best!I've never EDC'd a wheel gun, but +1 on the VersaMax II.

I've got the Python Combat Elite as well as a 3" Python. The Elite feels substantially heavier to me, but I need to actually weigh them to see if my perception is accurate. Won't be home to them for another couple weeks or so.My 2.5 comes in at 2.5 pounds so the combat elite 3 i guess a tad heavier . I use 2 for my python ,the garrett for quick trips ,summertime wear and the kramer for all day both require a loose fitting shirt for CC and a good belt .
Any issues with printing or the grip sticking out?I CCW 3” Colt Python every day for over six months in IWB holster. I use Galco Summer Comfort with KORE gun belt, and it works like a charm. View attachment 929019 View attachment 929020
