Nice post, Joe; great information and informative photos. Thanks for sharing. In lieu of a dedicated holster section, we can at least make this a Sticky and alter the heading a bit to let folks know that holster discussions start here. Well done.

I was going through my collection of holsters , and found that the Bianchi Minimalist 105, sz 13/15 fits my P5 well enough. It's an OWB holster I use for my Sig P2 & P220. It's an option. :)

For want of a section dedicated to holsters, I thought I would post this small piece for the information of our readers.

I picked up an interesting holster from ebay and was surprised by its size. It was described as a WWII shoulder holster for a large frame pistol like the P38 or P08 but never used, but there was nothing in the ebay advertisement to provide a visual reference of size.
I found a very nice website which offers high quality holsters and i really recommendet them... try Walther-Holsters.com

I just bought a P5. Was googling around for a possible holster purchase, and ran across a post on a Beretta board. Guy said that the holster he bought for his Beretta Cougar 8000 also fits his Walther P5.

I HAVE NOT verified this with any type of test to see if it's true. YMMV.

P5 holster from TT Gunleather

Since there has been some recent P5 purchases, postings and activity (finally) on the WF, I suggested that the title of this thread be changed to P5 & P5c specific holsters. Some of the members (myself included) carry their P5 or P5c's and I thought it would be informative to share what we use to carry the gun.

Here's my DDOO from TT Gunleather (posted previously on another thread):

Hoslters for the P5 are readily available but the OWB & IWB for a P5c is somewhat elusive.

My thinking is that if the information (positive or negative) shared here might be helpful, it's a good chance of saving a member (or 2) some heartache before they spend their cash on an item that might or might not be worth it.

The yaqui holsters might be of interest as an OWB holster. These holsters come in two varieties; thin and thick strap. The thin strap is the older model and it is dis-adviced to use it because of some accidental discharges (the strap went inside the triggerguard when the gun was holstered). The newer model with the thick strap is currently used by the Dutch police for concealed carry.

Mitch Rosen ARG - IWB for P5c

A Mitch Rosen (Mitchell Leatherworks) ARG (Ayoob Rear Guard, recently changed to American Rear Guard) IWB for the P5c.

Rumor has it that there was a falling out between Ayoob & Rosen (just hearsay).

Rides behind the hip @ the 4 o'clock position. Very comfortable to wear, only 'issue' is that the belt loop is for a 1" belt (usually dress belt size) but nevertheless, I like the holster.

Pics not up to par, the camera took a bit of a beating during a recent moose safari in Maine.

Leather IWB for P5

http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t529/tsull11/001_zpsuox2nr6o.jpg

IWB off of ebay for $50.00 bucks from ernies_holsters near the
Space Coast in FL.

Well made, I like the wings that spread out the weight of the gun, fit and finish were pretty darn good for the price. Rides very comfortably, great retention and the draw from concealment is smooth. Cannot really fault the design or mfg of this P5 leather IWB.

I'm going to be ordering a Sickingen holster is a few weeks. Four to six week lead time, so if it gets here when I start wearing warmer clothing it will work out great.




I also ordered this Safariland yesterday for the P5. This has a paddle attachment as well as a belt loop attachment.

Only necroing this because things change as new models appear.
Beyond a custom kydex melt, CZ P-07 happens to have a front sight and slide profile close enough to the regular P5 to be interchangeable, and not just barely. The P-07 has the squared guard so if it fits tight the P5 will fit perfect (as perfect as a generic offering can at least).

And since the P-07 is pretty well interchangeable with all the CZ75 compact clones like the Tanfoglio witness compact, BUL, Jericho, Daly DDA, Sphinx, yada yada maybe those in search mode can use this to open some doors. As well as take a chance on a nice tooled leather hobbyist offering on clearance at a gun show where you may not have that puppy handy for fitment.
