Ruger GP100 Holsters Designed for Balance, Retention, and Real-World Use
The Ruger GP100 is built like a tank—with a full-lug barrel, solid frame, and legendary revolver reliability. That weight brings confidence at the range and in the field, but it also demands a holster that controls movement, spreads weight, and keeps the revolver secure.
Alien Gear’s Cloak Series holsters are engineered around the GP100’s dimensions and carry conditions—from 4.2-inch concealed use to 6-inch trail carry with chest support.
Chest carry keeps your revolver ready without dragging on your hip
For outdoor use, the GP100 rides best in a chest holster that clears waistbands, belts, and gear. The chest platform balances the revolver’s mass across the torso, maintaining comfort during hikes, hunts, or long hours on the move.
IWB holsters make mid-size revolver carry more practical
With the right setup, a 4.2-inch GP100 can be concealed inside the waistband. Hybrid backers, forward cant, and low ride height help tuck the grip and reduce printing, while the molded shell retains the revolver without adding bulk.
OWB rigs offer open-carry stability with fast access
Open carry or range practice with a GP100 benefits from an OWB holster that holds the revolver tight to the beltline. The Cloak OWB model keeps the grip upright and the draw path smooth—ideal for range sessions or defensive drills.
Barrel length and weight call for precision molding
The GP100’s profile changes noticeably between 3", 4.2", and 6" barrels. A holster molded for the exact size prevents wobble, protects the muzzle, and ensures safe reholstering—especially for heavy stainless variants used in magnum calibers.
Retention you can trust, even under pressure
Revolvers don't rely on slide tension to hold them in place. Alien Gear’s passive retention system grips the trigger guard and frame, providing consistent draw resistance without locking you into one-handed releases or unsafe angles.
Whether you carry the Ruger GP100 for training, personal defense, or backcountry confidence, a holster designed for its frame, weight, and mission gives you the comfort, control, and retention your revolver deserves.
