Ok, I've got the new Model 97 and I need a holster. Is there an "off the shelf" holster that works well? (I'm too impatient to wait on a custom). I didn't see anything in Barranti's "direct line" that was for a 97. What's out there that doesn't require months or years to get?

Contact Mike on his direct line, if he doesn't have one he can probably make one in a short period of time. That and he has more than what you see on line.
Simply Rugged are great as well.

A holster for a Colt New Frontier should be mighty close...

Give Freedom Arms a call. They have really quality holsters on hand to fit both model 83's and 97's. There crossdraw is a great design it keeps the gun high and is very comfortable to carry. Hope this helps.

I WAS CARRYING MY 5.5" MODEL 97 IN A LAWRENCE HOLSTER FOR SINGLE SIXES, GOOD BUT TIGHT FIT. NOW I CARRY IT IN A HOLSTER MEANT FOR A 5.5" FULL SIZE BLACKHAWK, NICE FIT, EASY DRAW. IF YOU HAVE SOME HOLSTERS FOR YOUR RUGER SINGLE ACTIONS TRY YOUR MODEL 97 IN THEM.

I carry my 97 in a holster picked up on GB, it is an avenger or Bruce Nelson design. Very comfortable for a strongside holster, I believe it is a Freedom arms holster.

If this offer was aimed at someone in particular, then just ignore this post, but if it's open to all I'll gladly take it off your hands. I'll PM later. Currently in an internet black hole (aka, work).

I’m a fan of Doc’s Longhorn Companion. I have several for everything from a 4” Horvath Lil’ Gun to a JRH Conversion with a banded barrel. They all ride high and tight. The last one I ordered from Doc’s “Direct Line” took about a week. It’s an awesome holster, extremely well made, versatile and convenient.

Would depend a lot on how you want to carry the gun, if you want/need a retention devise and the planned activities.
A 97/.41/4.25" I bought used came with a Simply Rugged pancake style holster...it was just enough longer that a 5.5" fits with about a quarter inch to spare. Being a high rise, it isn't fastest to draw but is very secure, comfortable and out of the way. It can also be converted to a chest holster with the Chesty Puller straps... Can also be worn cross-draw...
Hard to beat the versatility for the price...

Doc’s holsters are the best. I did find a Freedom Arms holster that fits my Reeder Ruger 6 dhot .410 GNR with scope perfectly. It is a very nice holster
