Holster for Sidearm w/ suppressor

Shrapnel[Op-For] · January 11th, 2011, 06:39

Any suggestions for a holster that can hold a handgun with the suppressor mounted? I was thinking something along the lines of a TM mk.23 with the suppressor attached. Any suggestions are appreciated, even maybe some creative ideas if there is no such thing.

Thanks

Usually an invitation to get the suppressor broken off. Less chance if you go for a shoulder holster, but overall it's rare for anyone to play with a suppressor on the end of their pistol and sitting in a holster.

You'll notice in movies and TV Shows, people put silencers on after they're taken out of the holster. It's to stop the props getting broken, and for realism. I doubt a real suppressor could handle a combat scenario inside a holster.

Best. Holster. Ever

Used it for years in airsoft carrying everything from glock to 1911 to mk23. As stated, it's best to remove a silencer before holstering, this has a space just forward of the pistol to place the silencer or a flashlight or even an extra pistol mag.

I still use it now at work with my browning HP. It's expensive but well worth the money. Read up on it here:

Thanks for the suggestion roughneck. I'm not set on holstering it with the suppressor, just was wondering if anyone did it. I was planning on using the mk.23 more as a primary, but planned on using it in conjunction with a shotgun, so if I needed to holster it fast to grab the shotgun, I wouldn't have to drop it on the ground.

Go with a shoulder holster type then, even if you have to mod an existing Mk23 holster into a shoulder holster, it'd work pretty good, fast, and much less chance of damaging your gun or suppressor.

There is no way you'll holster a big pistol with a massive can like the MK23. "fast".

You'd be best to hang it off a bungee like breachers do with their shot gun via the lanyard loop and then have you backup in a scabbard. It would still be fairly awkward to have the pistol hanging off you like a dead Cocker Spaniel but if you really want to get to the backup fast it's your only choice.

The shotgun is mounted on a bungee single point sling. It hangs freely, with the barrel slipped into a homemade holder made of extra clips and straps. I like the bungee idea for the pistol as well. I could even use an m4 mag pouch and cut a small hole in the bottom for the suppressor to slip through.

Ideally, I'd like to find something like this:
