Great General Purpose Utility Holster w/ Spare Ammo Loops
The Pro Carry Ranch Series Governor Holster is a really nice multi-purpose holster with the unique benefit of 6 ammo loops on the outside.
Do not be confused if you see pics of this holster on Amazon or elsewhere with only 5 ammo loops; that’s for the Taurus pistols. The S&W Governor holster does indeed have all 6.
This holster is available in Right hand or Left hand versions.
What I Like About The Pro Carry Ranch Holster
I like this holster because it’s simple and useful. The extra ammo loops not only double as “extra” ammo but also as “alternative” ammo, considering that this revolver will shoot entirely different types of loads.
Maybe you have the cylinder loaded with “snake” rounds of .410 shotgun but along comes an opportunity to put a meatier hole in something. Just reach for the .45 Long Colt in the ammo loops and swap out a few rounds.
Despite not having a thumb snap, this molded holster grabs the Governor securely; I don’t think there is an risk of it going anywhere. Yet when you want it, simply draw. Reholstering is nice and positive as well.
There is just one set of belt loops and they easily accommodate my 1-3/4 inch belts. With the combination of the belt slot and the loop widely space it does not “rotate” on my belt.
The break in was quick and easy (see the video).
What I Do Not Like About This Holster
There really is not much bad to say about this Governor Holster other than if you want a thumb break strap, it’s not there. But then don’t buy it.
We bought ours at Amazon because they had the best price and we really like Amazon’s service. It’s not cheap, but that is no surprise for a leather holster.
Ignore any text on the page at Amazon about being made specifically for the Judge or the 5 ammo loops.
This holster is made specifically for the S&W Governor and has 6 ammo loops (again, see video and our pics).

The link takes you to the incorrect holster it say it has 5 bullet loops and is made specifically for the JUDGE not for the governor and not 6 extra bullet loops please correct I would very much like to have one but can’t find it anywhere

You have to read the comments and answered questions in the Amazon listing….
It’s unfortunate that these vendors do not show proper photos and descriptions.
As long as you are buying the holster for the Governor, as the link leads you to, it will have 6 loops and fit the Governor. I just checked the link and it does say Governor in the title and if you scroll down it shows the answers & comments I’m referring to (including my own 5 star review)
thanks!

2nd paragraph on this page: “Do not be confused if you see pics of this holster on Amazon or elsewhere with only 5 ammo loops; that’s for the Taurus pistols. The S&W Governor holster does indeed have all 6.” 🙂
Get it here, Governor Holster will have 6 loops like in my photo above

I’m looking for a governor holster with a belt clip attachment. Material does not matter. I want to be able to clip it on to the hip belt of my camping backpack. Any suggestions.
PC Roger says
I am going to be buying one of these soon; I think it looks awesome: http://amzn.to/20R7gfX

make sure you know if you’re buying for the governor or the judge the governor comes with 6 slots the judge only comes with 5 the holster fits very well has just the right of grip to the gun to keep it in place while allowing an easy draw no complaints great holster
Darrell says
Question, are you guys going to be marking a S&W holster which holds more 410 ammo than the one you currently offer? I’ve been looking for one like the old western gunfighter style belts. Found a couple specialty places that said they could make it on special order.
PC Roger says
We don’t actually make any holsters, just review them. thanks

Amazon vendors can be funny that way, multiple listings for same product. (Warning, IMAGE is incorrect on this listing but the product should be CORRECT)

Is there another source for this. With Amazon’s announcement last night that it is suspending Parler hosting services, I’m not willing to support Amazon in any way.
