Looking for Holster for the Encore 410 pistol with a 15" barrel.

Anyone hunting with one of these, what is best wearing holster?

Only ones found are Uncle Mike's or Thompson Center holster.

What's Best???

I use these holsters for my 16" Contender. I love it! You can also see it is in my avatar picture.

qh-holsters.com a buddy of mine is using one of these right now and they are super nice. he custom makes them.. he's been fighting some health problems here lately and im waiting on him to get caught up to make me one. well worth the money after seeing them..

I have the 15" hip holster right from TC but more often than not I find myself just tucking it in the left side of my hunting vest with the handgrip sticking out.
If I dont put a second strap around my thigh, near the bottom part of holster it just flops all around. Seems to pick up a lot of dirt and snow on the hip as well.
Good luck and let us know what you go with!

I feel sure i want some kind of Shoulder holster, i wear bib overalls on most hunts and do not care to wear a belt on outside of those for attachment of holster. i might end up like you said and just using my hunting vest. my local guys at gun shop wanting to place longer bolt in stock and attach sling straight to butt end of grip. if you look far enough (cannot remember where) on internet i found a kit that does just that but they were sold out, but that still leaves the problem of having it around your shoulder and when you go to shoot, you would have to take completelty off i would think.

i have a ? does the 410 encore come with a smoothe bore or rifled

The Encore comes with a rifled barrel to accomodate the 45 colt round.
There is a choke tube that is designed to separate the wad from the shot when shooting 410 shells but it must be removed before shooting the 45 colt round. The Hornandy Lever Revolution rounds are incredibly accurate and hit about 10" higher as compared to a standard round at 75 yds.( 15" barrel)
In MI I had to register the handgun as a 45 colt.

Great guy to deal with and makes a quality product. Jim Dagley

If I remember right I got my contender shoulder holster from http://www.pistolpackaging.com

It's made of nice leather with shell loops on it. I beat it up pretty good b/c it sticks out beneath my coat but thats exactly what I use it for.

yep, thats the qh-holsters.com guy i mentioned above... i thought i wanted a leather one until i seen these.. they have the shell holders, there shoulder mount type and very comfortable. he can make them to fit any length encore or contender and other handguns...

x3 on dave jensen at quiet hide. He will make you a very nice holster for a very reasonable price. I have two and beat the tar out of them and they will hold up to any kind of abuse you can dish out.
