I need some help here on where to purchase 2 holsters, as I have looked and looked...

Hello everyone, first post after a few years on here :shocker: I need some guidance, as I recently received my conceal carry permit and now need belt holsters for the following:

I have a AMT Back Up 380 and a Taurus CIA 357/38 special revolver with 2 inch barrel. I've look many places on the interweb to source and can't find much. The Taurus has internal hammer, I believe that's what it's called, no hammer to pull back. Pardon my use of the wrong description if the word hammer is off base.

Anyways, I would like holster with retention straps, I just like the extra security of those. If any one has a lead to where I might find these it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'm all set with holsters for my Browning Hi-Piwer 9mm, Glock 19, and Beretta Px4 Storm, which the Beretta is a great carry for me, fantastic feeling gun. The Browning was my Dads he carried in the cockpit of his fighter jet in South East Asia, that has a lot of sentimental value to me as that was my first semi-auto I ever shot

Thank you in advance if you could help.

Regards

Welcome (back?) to OCDO and greetings from sunny, dry Arizona JAGERVEGAS!
Glad you finally decided to join in on the conversation. Better late than never.:lol:

Revolvers are still a foreign concept for me (I intend to get into them within the next year), but I found a few candidates for your AMT Backup.

This one seems to have good reviews (generally), a retention strap, and is made of leather* (perfect for holding an all-metal gun, marking you as a man of good taste ):

Brown leather* version:

If you'd rather have polymers (yuck!):

*IMPORTANT NOTE: From my experience, people on Amazon (and other non-specialized, mass-market sites) generally don't understand leather holsters. Don't spray the holster with leather softeners!
A tight fit to unholster is a GOOD thing as it provides extra security by holding your sidearm. Use and wear will loosen up the fit until it becomes perfect (only takes about 6 months, tops).

One tip which may help: hot wax your holster with the gun in a bag and in place? It will result in a Kydex-like click, molding, and water resistance. Here is a thread about DIY gear in which I described the wax process I used: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?119612-Make-your-own&p=2033942#post2033942

as i am sure you are aware, your Taurus is nothing more than a 'J' style frame so instead of looking for this specific firearm, look under that designation...e.g., S&W PD 360 comes to immediate mind when you search by manuf/type instead of the taurus xyz.

check http://www.desantisholster.com/ for holsters for both your firearms. prices are very competitive and large selection in stock by ordering on line.

That being said, I like my holsters for the AMT Backup (.45ACP for me) boned rather than some sort of generic pancake/taco. My favorites come from Bell Charter Oak http://bellcharteroakholsters.com/pancakes.html

They will do some customization work - adjusting cant, belt loop sizes (both height and width) and the like. Call them and tell them what you want - be specific so they can work with you.

stay safe.
