Holster for scoped Contender G2 14"

Last year I bought a T/C Contender G2 in .44 mag with a 14" barrel. I have an Uncle Mike's No. 13 bandolier holster for it but now that I mounted a scope on it it needs a different/bigger holster. The problem is I can't find one anywhere that will fit it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

  Honk,
  
  If you do not get help here, this and related topics have been discussed at length on the forum over on {Elsewhere}
  I use contenders but do not use "holsters" for them.

  Unfortunately, Uncle Mikes(or its parent company) has taken the approach of one size fits all. I have a scoped bandolier holster by them for my scoped 15" Encore, that shold work just fine for the G2 with the 14" barrel. I believe it is the same one they reccommed in their size charts, for both guns...
  
  Size 13 for both guns, and product code 9513-1 in black, and 9413-6 in realtree.

  My Mikes # 13 fits with the 2 power scope, what size/type of scope are you using ?
  
  Just checked, it has #13 scoped.

  The thing is I already have a No 13 Uncle Mikes and it is way too small for a scoped Contender. Are there two different versions - scoped and unscoped - of their No 13?

  Try Skyball Mountain Holsters. Can't speak from experience but they make them in Alabama and the company claims to make them for 14 inch scoped T&Cs and many others as well.

  There are so many holsters on line that say they are for a "scoped" Contender but they are way too narrow. Are we talking dinky scopes here? I'd like to post a picture of my current (too narrow) Uncle Mike's No 13 holster next to my scoped Contender. Is there a way to post a jpg here?

  Find yourself a good shoemaker call ahead and ask if he could make you a holster. That's what I did some 25 years ago. Most likely it would be less expensive then contacting a big box holster maker.

  Yes, there are two different versions of the size 13...scoped, and unscoped.

  Simply Rugged makes them for Contenders with up to 16" barrels.
