I had a hard time finding someone who makes a holster for a Beretta 92 Centurion. This is the short slide, full size grip model.

Our own Ryan Grizzle does, though, and he made me a dandy one. This is his Workin' Man, a version of the Bruce Nelson Professional holster. He is highly recommended.

OWB, 1 loop? Or is the 2nd loop just not visible?
Seems a heavy gun for a single loop holster.

The holster has a tunnel loop behind the gun doing the main weight bearing work. The slot is more to pull the butt closer to the body, although I am sure it supports the gun some, too.

Grizzle's website doesn't have a picture of the back of the Workin' Man, but other holsters here show what I mean.

I figured as much.
Can't imagine that single loop holding a 92 of any variety.

Both, the holster and the 92, are quite nice.

He sure does, jhe888! The GS2 I just received for my Colt Defender .45 ACP:



Goes on and off the belt more easily than I would have expected and carries so comfortably I almost wouldn't know it was there.

I may have to get a GS2 for my SIG P239 SAS.

JHE, I’m in complete agreement. That’s a beautiful holster you have. Looks like it’ll carry the Beretta quite well.

I’m a huge fan of Ryan and his work. Both he and Kay are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Here are a couple he has done for me. Both are the “War Pig”. They are an OWB, but you can attach a couple loops and convert to IWB if needed. First two pics are a Kimber Micro 9 in horsehide with elephant. Third pic is calfskin with elephant. I have a matching elephant belt that is pretty fantastic as well. I can’t say enough good about Ryan’s holsters.

Yes, Ryan does outstanding work. He made me this GS years ago, has held up to occasional wear.

How long was the wait time on those ?

I ordered it in mid-February, so five months. The holster was finished as promised - right on time. The deposit is nominal.

I ordered my GS2 in early February. It arrived on our doorstep July 8. So currently a bit less than five months.

It was worth the wait. I treated mine with some Mitch Rosen Leather Lightning and it was good for carry immediately.

I have three of his Georgia Snap holsters. They're all great!

I have a couple for my P232's but just ordered one for my CZ PCR, I'll gladly wait the 5 months.

Top quality, easy talk with by phone, answers email and allows you to move order close to the top depending on workload. I know of one holster maker who’s top notch and won’t answer emails and takes six months.

Ryan does great work! A few years ago I had the privilege to harvest a Cape Buffalo in Tanzania. Afterwards, I received the hide and provided some of it to Ryan so he could craft a few special holsters for me. I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to hunt in Africa again, but I'll always treasure the special sets by Ryan.

Those are awesome, pulicords!
