The Fobus Evolution paddle holsterThe Ruger SP101 stands out among the available "snubnose" revolvers by virtue of its user-accessible accuracy and its appetite for the most vociferous of .357 Magnum loads. The platform stands up to sustained shooting with full loads, while the overall geometry, patented grips and 25-ounce weight affords greater comfort and controllability than many standard-loaded .38 Specials of the same general size and job description.
The Fobus responds best to a snappy draw in line with the forward cant of the holster. It is at least somewhat resistant to attempted gun grabs as it does not readily release the revolver from other angles. With the paddle model holster, it is important to make sure the belt is in the proper location with the bottom of the belt above the shelf of the belt channel. Otherwise, the entire holster will come out with the draw. With that minor caveat, the Fobus proves a secure and comfortable carry option for the Ruger SP101. |
