I'm interested in Uncle Mike's kydex holsters - perhaps a paddle holster. Does anyone happen to know what size will fit my 24/7 Pro .45?

Some place I found a recommendation to get a size 22, the size for a SIG 220. WRONG!

Uncle Mike may not be a good idea even for kydex. I've seen some other kydex holsters that aren't nearly so specifically molded to an exact shape.

Thanks

Usually it is a Ruger 97 holster that fits it.

Below is a link to a website that has a lot of models, check it out.

Thanks. Interestingly that site specifies that the Ruger 97 model fits the Taurus 24/7 9mm only, not the 24/7 .45 like mine.

I have a RU97 that I bought for my 24/7 Pro 9mm. It's a pretty snug fit for the 9mm, not sure if a .45 would work well in it. Might have to really fight to get it in and out. :-\

Actually the Uncle Mike I got is listed for the 9mm, but WAY wrong for the .45. Is the 9mm a double stack feeder like the 45? I'm guessing the size 22 has much in common with the RU97.

I have a Fobus holster for the Ruger P series guns and my 24/7 .45 fits perfectly, in fact just as good as my P-94 fits in it. Don't really know why they list only the 9mm and not the .45 as fitting this holster. Although I haven't done a compairison measurement of the two frames with a micrometer, the only real difference I see is in the grip, and that doesn't fit into the holster anyhow.

Well, I must be wrong about the Uncle Mike 22 being the same. The Fobus listed for the P series pistols is the RU97 - the one that says it's only for the 9mm. Is your 45 a Pro or a Millennium Pro? My Pro 45 is a little over 1 inch in the slide, while the size 22 is a little less than an inch. Worse, there is has a "pinched in" area where the rail is on both the Uncle Mike and the Fobus for the Sig 220 - again the size I was told to get. The Pro 45 rail simply will not go into that area.

If I'm not mistaken your RU97 doesn't have that pinched in place, right? It runs right out to the end all the same size? How wide is the RU97 in the frame area?

If you have access to a well stocked Gunshop or a Gander Mountain, that has Fobus Holsters in stock, I recommend taking your pistol there and seeing which holsters will fit.

The only kydex holsters I have access to are Uncle Mikes. I checked and NONE of their paddle holsters worked with my Pro .45.

I've noticed that in both this thread and the one you referred us to posts are very unclear about what fits in what. There are many references to "the 24/7." Unfortunately there are various shapes and sizes of 24/7. 9mm to .45, Pro to Millennium Pro.

I've asked a couple times for specific information as to exactly which models fit certain kydex holsters so well. I'd sure like to know this so I can make sense of the various posts.

I _have_ found a holster that fits my 45 very nicely, but it is leather and is a shorty (at least 2 inches of slide showing). I may have to get one in leather - or even padded nylon. Or even make one.

I have a Don Hume IWB holster on order, that is supposed to fit the 24/7.

WHICH 24/7?
