Description
This is The Original Dirty Harry® Shoulder Holster!! It is for the S&W N Frame, Model 29 for a 6.5″ bbl. It is from the original company. We are excited that we are able to offer these. If you want to carry your Big-Bore gun around, you can now do it in comfort and style.
“We have a large quantity of Original DIRTY HARRY® Shoulder Holsters we ordered some years ago, on a special contract order, as well as many we bought out from a large Oklahoma former dealer, who had many in-stock; all brand new with most gun sizes available: predominately 6.5 M29’s and 5″ 1911’s.” NOTE: *All holsters go through a final fitting using the real firearm it is intended to carry, therefor, delivery can be a few weeks. Own the Original, worn and written about as “Being the most comfortable I have ever tried for heavy guns”…by Elmer Keith–father of the
.44 Magnum cartridge, in Oct., 1978 GUNS & AMMO, making it Not newbie “Gear of the Year”, but Classic “Gear of the 20th Century and Forever!” And… no long wait!

A Very Satisfied Customer – I just received my Dirty Harry shoulder holster for my S & W 44 6.5 inch Magnum revolver. It is absolutely beautiful and the workmanship and leather quality is outstanding. The fit is perfect and very comfortable to wear even for extended periods of time. Thank you very much. Terry F

I just received my S&W model 29 6.5 inch holster and it is great! I agree with Terry above about the quality, workmanship and fit. I want to add that James at Ruffiano International was pleasure to work with. He kept me informed of the progress throughout the building process – which included not only the terrible Texas storms this winter, a move of the business but also an equipment breakdown and trying to get someone to fix a machine during the snow storms. Thank you James.
Best regards,
Bill

After I wrote the above review, I realized that I left out a few facts. I ordered my holster in the middle of the Wuhan flu pandemic – with the supply interruptions, mask requirements, social distinguishing, B.S., etc. Rufifiano overcame all of that and produced a high quality product for me and I believe that you will be highly pleased with your order also.
Semper Fidelis,

Love My Original Dirty Harry Holster. Its the only brand that I will buy from here on out. After more than fourty years of trying different holsters Ive never found anything that feels this good or fits this good. the holster feels square on my shoulders and the gun never feels like it wants too slide off regardless of its weight or bulk. The gun stays put and I never feel the urge too tug on it too put it back in position , even after bending over or standing up. I can wear it all day and forget its there .Excellent quality , excellent company , Excellent customer service with pricing well worth it. I would recommend one for anyone Why? Because theres nothing better once you,ve had the best. Im planning on purchasing a second one in the near future for a different firearm and I know it will be great.

Hi James, just received the holster. Simply amazing! I absolutely love it. Well worth the wait (which was not long at all for such a fine product) Thanks so much for your professionalism and for crafting such an incredible holster for me. I am equally impressed with your dedication to customer service. Most would consider a 6.5″ S&W 629 too big handgun to carry, but during the winter months I have been able able to do so, thanks to this very comfortable holster. I will never buy a mass produced holster again! Embossing my shield # makes it very personal. You’re the best!! I am a customer for life. Thanks!

I am now the owner of 4 Original Dirty Harry Holsters. 3 are for Model 29 S&W revolvers (4”, 6” and 6.5”)and one for a 1911 .45. It was a long wait. I ordered these on Nov 29, 2022. I received 2 of them about 4 months after that. The remaining two arrived a couple of weeks ago. So after about 6 months, I have them. The wait was frustrating.
I am in law enforcement and have been wearing shoulder holsters since 1977. These are better than any mass produced holsters on the market. I’ve used many brands over the decades. These surpass anything I have seen or used in a vertical holster.
The frustration was getting called every two weeks with a reason I wasn’t getting the holsters in a timely fashion. Didn’t get the leather. Got the wrong leather. Got the wrong weight leather. The glue separated or was bad. After that I received numerous calls saying the holsters were being shipped. At least 3 times I had calls saying I would have them by the end of the week or early the following week. At least twice I had calls saying I would have the that week.
I enjoyed speaking with James when he called. Very personable and it sounded like he was truly sorry for the delays. It was starting to become a joke around the house and the gun club. Everyone commented they thought I was ripped off. Through the Covid issues, disruptions in supplies and bad storms in the region, delays were expected. Anyone ordering should be aware, delays do occur.
The holsters are superior to ANYTHING out there. The guns are securely held. The quality of the workmanship is evident in each holster. It is not something that may come in shortly after being ordered. Anticipate some delay. If you don’t mind the delay and want the best holsters I have seen, these are for you, and are reasonably priced.
I would rate this as 5 stars for the quality, worksmanship, finish and design. 4 stars for the delays and overall time waiting.
Now, with that said, I need to order a couple for my Colt Pythons. Stay safe.
