I know this isn't the site for handguns, but I am looking for a holster that I can carry my .22 S&W Model 41 Short barrel (5"?)
in. I hunt doves & prairie chickens in the Nebraska Sandhills, (I grew up there) and sometimes run across a rattlesnake or a porcupine.

If you google "holster for S&W model 41" you will get a couple of hits including DeSantis, Triple K, etc. I am fond of the Safepacker line of "holsters" as you can fasten them to a hip belt and they don't look like holsters, and they might be a bit more kind to the finish and sights on a nice gun like the Model 41.

While I admit to carrying a J-frame S&W concealed when I bird hunt for other two-legged threats pretty much you have everything you need for snakes or porkys with the shotgun you are already carrying. Now, hiking or dog training in the off-season, that's another story.

They claim this one will fit a model 41...it's suede lined.

I'm not sure if they have one for a 41, but I've been carrying daily for almost 8 years with a Crossbreed and love it

You did not say if you wanted synthetic or leather
Flap or no flap
left hand or right hand, or front or reverse

I use my right handed holster on the left side so the
gun butt does not contact the holster/gun.

Try El Paso Saddlery (epsaddlery.com). Lots of choices in holster designs & very high quality. I had them make a holster & spare magazine carrier for my Colt Woodsman MT & reasonable delivery time.

No help on the holster, but, good to see you posting Sam.

Best,

You could just walk around the snake or porcupine.

Walking around is the best bet.
