Great Holster

By far the best (and just about only) holster that I have been able to find for my Ruger 22/45 MKIII. Mine has all of the other Tandemkross goodies (compensator, mag bushing, +1 mag; but still want the slingshot!). The fit is perfect and leaves the pistol at a very comfortable height for removal and insertion to the holster. I'm using this gun mainly as a snake gun when hunting the woods of NC and this holster does not interfere with my movement or other items I have on me while walking, stalking, or sitting in the woods. The picatinny rails on the pistol are not affected by this holster. My large red dot sight fits fine. However, I do not have anything on my lower rail; I would be surprised if anything at all on the bottom rail would fit in the holster... The adjustable retention takes a little bit to adjust, but in less than an hour, I had it dialed in just right. For the first time out in the woods with it, I took a screw driver to adjust the tension just in case the weather affected the bushings; not needed as an afterthought. I have not run drills at the range with this holster; but based on the overall feel; I am glad I went with the low rise over the high rise for my stance and draw. Seems extremely durable and has a simple design (which I like; less to go wrong). Tandemkross has brought another great product to the market with this Black Dog Holster. Keep up the great work guys!

This holster will accommodate a MK III Target pistol with the large grips and a scope w/ Leupold QRW scope rings quite nicely. The bottom of the Weaver rail stays just outside the cutout for the scope. Holster can be adjusted for a positive click when firearm is inserted and can be withdrawn easily using your thumb on top of the belt clip.

Great Holster

This holster works just as described in the the ad and video. My particular gun is the Ruger MK III Target w/bull barrel and Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 red dot sight. After the initial adjustment, the gun is held secure and it's easy to draw and replace. I did have one issue. I had installed a Volquartsen trigger kit and included with it was an extended bolt release lever. This extended lever made contact with the holster and prevented the gun from going into the holster completely, so I had to remove it reinstall the standard bolt release lever. Other than that, this holster works just as described and I'm very happy with it.

Awesome Holster

Just received it and the quality is first rate. The fit is perfect (after adjusting the tension screws) and having a Burris FastFire mounted on my SS BullBarrel MKIII. This IS THEE HOLSTER I've been searching for!! And the price is right! Thanks TK for another great product.

Q: The add said that the holster is also suitable for the S&W .22 victory?

Asked by: J - 4/15/2017

A:

Tac-Sol nor BlackDog recommend using the S&W Victory in this Holster. They specifically designed this holster for the Ruger series of pistols. However We do use this holster in house for our S&W Victory and it fits well.

Q: Looks like there might be an issue with the fit of the Mark IV with the fatter target grips. There at the corner where the front top corner of the grip fits into the holster a little bit. Have you tried this combination?

Asked by: Gerald - 5/14/2017

A: We have not tried this combination. However this Holster has adjustable tension for this very reason. The product can be returned for a refund if a customer is not happy with the fit.
