    I have recently purchased a Walther P5, Mauser HSC and a S&W 627. I need help finding a person or company to make kydex holsters for these pistol and revolver. I would like for them to have the Safariland quick locking system. Safariland because I have 2 gun belts set out for it already.

    Why? just because. I have leather holsters (inside and outside) for all these already and want the custom holsters for ease of range use, and again, just because.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I live in Poolesville - Western MoCo

    Don't know about local to you, Sir, but red hill tactical is in the hagerstown area. They do nice USPSA style holsters and could certainly accommodate your spec in Safariland attachment system.

    KT Mech is out west but would be worth a look as a couple of their models have universal bolt pattern attachment (can bolt on Safariland plates, DOH adapters, etc.)

    I don't know exactly what a 627 is, but I agree with 4g64 and think it should be doable off the shelf. I have a Comp-Tac holster for "N Frame" that fits my 1917 and GP100, depending on how tight I have the retention. If I loosen it up a lot, even my Redhawk fits in it.

    For the other pistols, you might try shoving them in whatever holsters you (and/or your buddies) already have. I know a Ruger American holster holds a Canik...uhh...whatever model my wife has...TP-something-something :o I'm pretty sure it also holds my Sig P210. Since they grip the trigger guard for retention, the rest of the shape isn't always all that super critical.

    Got lucky on the P5.
    CT Designs added this pistol to their list. Ordered the holster yesterday. I bought a gun belt set up from them last year.

    A 627 is a stainless N frame 357 magnum.

    I do like it. Still trying to get used to using Moon clips vs Speed Loaders. The Walther is a nice shooter as well.

    Oh man you got the shorty. Cool. Moon clips for 38/357 can be really irritating. You will need to test brass brands to see what headstamp "holds tight" in the clips. The longer cases like the 38/357 tend to be unforgiving of cartridge flop when loading. My 625 is less picky due to the short fat 45s.

    I haven't been to the Chantilly show in a while. I wonder if they still have the vendor that custom makes the Kydex holsters on site for you?
