I plan to carry my Ruger Super Blackhawk 7.5 scoped and unscoped at times. will this holster work well for carrying without the scope attached?

Yes, I would say it will work well, with or without the scope. I use mine with the scope, and it is a fantastic, really great quality leather holster. (I have about 10 holsters now and this is by far the best.

I carry the S&W; .44mag hunter... the holster works well with and without the scope. It takes a bit of time to get the straps set right, but its worth the effort.

i have a s&w; 500 with a 7.5 in. barrel. it will stay in holster without scope ; because the barrel goes far enough down to catch at the bottom. snap on top helps hold in place.

No. The Ruger fit it but it was so tight, could not get the weapon out of holster without using both hands and really pulling hard. Still looking for a belt holster that will work.

I personally would not use it for IWB carry. The holster does not have any clip that would secure it to your belt/pants like a traditional IWB holster.I would be concerned that under the weight of the firearm, it may slip down into your pants.While in your pocket, the holster does sit at the bottom.Hope it helps.

I don't know- I do know that the holster starts out snug, but loosens a little too much over time if you keep the gun stored in it. not much good for anything other than a cover to keep profile from showing. No longer matters that the holster exterior grips my pockets, as the gun will literally slide out on it's own if it tilts while in a cargo shorts pocket

Yeah it should work, it would be cheaper to just buy the thigh rig without the holster on it so you can just throw your holster on it

Absolutely. This is a great carry holster. The only drawback is the strap, it works very well to keep the weapon in place. However, if your looking for a quick-draw holster. This is not the one.

I would say yes. Its like the regular Blackhawk holster that locks on the trigger.

Without scopes, yes. But I will mention that you may have the opposite problem compared to your Condition 1 case. Instead of sandwiching your gun too tightly to close properly, this one doesn't sandwich guns (or even lightweight items like bipods or empty magazines) tightly enough to keep them in place. As soon as I pick my case up, everything shifts down.

yes. i do wear a thin belt sometimes and it works ok. the thicker or wider the belt the better. i have tried wearing it without sometimes with jeans. its a little wobbly. kinda like it might flip out. the gun is light and easy to carry. i have an uncle mikes cloth holster. i do use it without a belt. it much better. but the gun is not as secure in it vs the tagua.

I have a ruger Blackhawk it fits ok just the rear sights don't sit in the holster good but after some usage they wear in and don't cause any problems. Hope this helps

The galco Kodiak holster works great for the s&w; 500, but that is without a scope. You would have to modify it to fit a scope. And by modify I mean cut the holster.

It's a paddle holster so you can wear it with or without a belt. I've worn it with my 1.5" SpecOp BDU belt, my 1.5" web belt and weon it on jeans without a belt.

I have a S&W; M642 with CT as my EDC. I use this holster more when I'm wearing jeans or slacks and want to ensure no signs of carrying. Otherwise I use a smartcarry. Don't leave home without AMEX and a snubby.

It is made for pocket carry. I did try the IWB approach and it works. With no way to attach to either belt or pants, I'm not sure how secure it would be. Around the house it felt good. Drawing the 238 was not a problem but reholstering could be if the holster were to shift after removing the firearm. I use IWB all the time and feel better having my holster securely attached to my belt.

That caliber of weapon will be very uncomfortable in your crotch area. I carry a ruger 380 in the front and it is uncomfortable to sit down with the item. Standing no problem. I think these type of holsters were designed for small carry even though they say they can fit medium to large carry handguns. Also anside note i do not own the firearm you have. You can always try it and return it if it doesnt fit

Yes absolutely. I have worn a blackhawk holster with my full frame 1911 with no issue.

I cant imagine any activity causing your weapon to bounce out of this holster. Unless your vigorous activity includes being upside down I wouldn't worry. I've never had an issue with the sights dragging on my xds 45.
