Plenty more where that came from. 😉

 

I ordered one of these from Midway and they shipped it an hour later. Also got some service panel grips from AR-7 which also shipped today. Pics to follow.

 

You could check with Simply Rugged Holsters, I'll bet he has offerings for the 3". I have a Sourdough Pancake holster from him for my 4.25" Python, also a Silver Dollar Pancake holster for my 3" King Cobra, one for my Night Cobra as well.

 

Hunter makes holsters for different length Pythons though it looks like the shortest is the 4" model.

I got one of Craft's SOB holsters for my Micro 9. It's a quality piece. Since one can never have too many holsters i may get another one some day.

 

I would try Kramer, even if he has to make you one .
Will make it cheaper for me , when I get one in black .

 

I like that snake bit link a lot . Especially for $50 . I carry my night Cobra in a similar desantis , black , with 3 slots . Mine was more than 50, and still a great value.

 

El Paso made a beauty for me years ago with the first batch of 3“ Python, I have to dig that one out for the news guys. They are getting used for sure.

 

I ordered and received a holster for my new 4" python from EL PASO Saddlery a month ago, I can honestly say I have never been so underwhelmed with a $100 holster in my life.

 

Really? Tell us about it. I must have 15 and I love them. But have not gotten a new one in two years.

 

The leather seems to be a lot thinner than my holsters for other guns, the top is so flimsy that every time that I holster the gun the inside flap catches on the cylinder, then no matter how much I tighten the retention the screw the revolver slides out when I'm on the ground. In short it doesn't do anything well at all . After spending a $100 I hate to round file it but it looks as thou that's were its going.

 

I just picked up a Bianchi #5 BHI for a K frame Smith & Wesson 66-2.
Super nice tan leather with thumb snap.

 

Just got the DeSantis holster for my 3" Python
It's a perfect fit, excellent materials and design.

Now just waiting for the service grips and I'm golden

 

Andrews Custom Leather. Phenomenal quality. Sam Andrews is a true master of the leather arts. Simply call and tell him you need one of these…just with a 3” barrel.
And then prepare for the wait………..

 

I have several holsters from Mernickle, I haven't been disappointed yet. Although I noticed their prices have escalated quite a bit.

 

I found an older Safariland Lined w/sight track holster that appears to haven been modified (Factory?) that it is a little too long for my Python - made possibly for a 3" Combat Python. I have a Colt Holster for my 2.5" Python and will keep the other one for the new 3" Model someday. Jackson

 

I have a Kramer in black shark being made up in 3in right now. Should take delivery in late April or early May.

 

Did you ever find one? I’m I the same boat.

 

El Paso Saddlery makes holsters for a 2.5" Python that's open at the bottom and would work. You can always contact them about adding the extra 1/2" to the bottom. They've done some requests for me before.

 

I have a garrett for my 2.5 that is also open at the bottom that might work ,look up garrett ...silent thunder warrior IWB . It kinda hides for concealed carry depending on your attire .

 

Sad thing is the wait for a good holster is akin to waiting for the 2nd coming of the Messiah
If you can deal with a tad longer Python holster I have one in as new condition up for grabs. Made by Sam Andrews. Carried twice. Maybe 3 times. You COULD go the Milt Sparks route. They make a PMK for the 3” Python. I ordered mine last September. May have it by July🤷‍♂️

 

Do you still have this ?
Thanks

As evidence of inflation, that $50 Craft is now $85. I only have one Craft holster (paddle for the 4.25" King Cobra 22). It's okay, but nothing special.

I've bought a few since my last post in this thread. All these are available for either the 2½" or the 3" Python. Depends partially on your tollerance for wait.

My #1 choice for OWB wins in concealability, verstility (strongside or crossdraw), price (starting at $90) and wait time (usually just a few weeks) is the Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake. I've got about 10 variants for different revolvers and barrel lengths, from a 6" Anaconda down to a 1⅞" J Frame (Silver Dollar Pancake version).

Milt Sparks is great leather, but their cost is much higher and wait times up to 40 weeks. Shown are my shark trimmed PMK and Versa Max 2 IWB with 3" Python.

Kramer are great quality holsters, but my 2½" Pythons conceal and carry better in the Simply Rugged and Kramer wait times are 6 months +/- (despite the website saying much less). Shown are their Belt Scabbard with 2½" Python and MSP Paddle with 3" Python.

The Silent Thunder Warrior for revolvers is leather lined Kydex IWB that is a good option for fairly fast availability.

Galco's Miami Classic II is a multi fit, open at the muzzle and will work for 2½" to 4¼" Pythons.

I'd order the Sourdough Pancake from Simply Rugged, then order whatever others you think you want, and carry in the Simply Rugged while you wait for the others. Compare them when they finally arrive.

The Python 3" shoulder holster image you posted. Do you mind sharing where you purchased it TBone. Thank you brother!

 

I have a dinosaur kidney belt holster and a garrett for my 2.5 ...the garrett gets all the work load. I am still waiting on my ordered kramer [oct] . My SW 340 goes into a garrett also and almost disappears for CC iwb .

 

Snub Python hitting hard with three fifty seven projectiles covers it all .
Nice we have apex affordable carry guns in present times ... never say never

 

I was wondering if anybody tried TT Gunleather. I am currently waiting for one for my 3” Python. His quality is second to none - I have been using his IWB and OWB offering for every semiautomatic I ever had. I just hope my revolver will feel in it as good as my other pistols.

just an example of his craftsmanship- my DW Guardian.

 

Not the best picture but Kirkpatrick Leather makes a decent Python holster.
The pictures below for an Anaconda is the same style as the one above for a 3” Python

 

Black hills leather will make you one for a 3” gun or any other barrel length for that matter. Good price great quality

 

Thank you - just placed an order for a BH holster for my Anaconda. Almost nobody has dummy Anaconda to form proper holsters for Anaconda. I was going in circles. And I specifically looked for a quick snap on models. They have one. Now I am anxious a bit about the fit and quality as I am not familiar with this maker yet, but I gave it a shot.

 

I use a kramer and a garrett IWB for my 2.5 in fla CC in that order

 

I have not had it long, but this IWB from Lobo gunleather is very well made.

3 inch Python with Deer Hollow grips.
