Holster
Great holster it fits my Ruger Mark 4 Hunter great and also when I swap to a 5.5 barrel it still fits perfectly. The only very slight modification I had to make was I have the Volquartsen extended slide installed on my gun so I had to use a dremel to remove a very small amount of plastic from the inside of the holster to allow the gun to sit deep enough in the holster. No big deal it was a very easy and quick modification. I like the low ride holster it feels well placed. I would recommend this holster.

Fits the gun like a dream
Took about 15 minutes to convert to left-handed. Stays very firm on side. Easy to draw from, adjustable tension to hold gun. Have to pay attention when re-holstering with red dot sight to that top groove for it.

Holster
For the price the holster works well, It can be adjusted for retention and if you use an optic there is plenty of room. The only negative is that the holster is a bit rough on the inside, toward the front sight end and I have a few light scratches on the blueing. I ve done some light sanding with 800-1000 grit paper and no longer have an issue.

MK Series holster / Black Dog Machine
Due to the ammo shortage I wanted to use my Ruger 22/45 in IDPA events. First I needed a holster and finding one that would work was nearly impossible. Checking Tandemkross I found this BD holster. The fit is perfect, even has a cut out for the rail so running the red dot was no problem. It was adjustable to fit the height requirement ,solid construction and not bad in the looks department. The price was very friendly not to meantion a great great value. I would and have recommended to others.

Barely works with suppressor
So, this does work - barely - with my Spectre II, .22LRn suppressor. First, it's a bit crazy to think about holstering my Ruger Mark IV which has a 6" barrel with a 6" suppressor --- but anyway. So, there are two parallel raised ribs that line the holster that rub against the suppressor (which is 1" in diameter). I'm thinking of somehow removing these ribs - so it'd go in and out without all the friction and rubbing. but, it does work.

low ride holster
Tandemkross brought my search for holsters for two optical equipped Ruger MK series pistols. Great fit and easy carry. Just right for woods and field. Excellent service from Tandemkross, too.

Excellent
How they produce such a good holster at such a low price is beyond me. Works great for range work. This holster is the only thermo plastic holster I could find for the mark 3. I made a plate and put a safariland qls fork on it so I can swap out with my other holster. Great product

Low Ride Holster for SW22 Victory
Purchased this Low Ride version of the Black Dog Machine Holster for use with a SW22 Victory Target Pistol Performance Center model. This pistol has the 6" target barrel plus a compensator. It also has an extended magazine release which was my biggest concern on fit and function in this holster. I was able to easily modify with a hand file two small ribs that run along the space that meets the pistol receiver. I also notched out a small area that is close to the magazine release. This is all that was needed and holster works just fine for this pistol.

Good quality, easy to customize to your needs
Well built holster, easy to manipulate and customize to you gun. I have a sw22 victory and it took a little time but I have it so the holster fits on the gun like a glove. Only issue is that is not a big deal is it is not readily compatible with the safari land qls system but I made it work
