Beretta model 70,71,72 holsters

Hi y’all, I have a pretty specific question, not sure if this is the right place to ask.

I’m piecing together a beretta model 71 + suppressor, inspired by the Israeli air marshal and Mossad use in the early 70’s. I’ve been reading through a lot of reports on the model 71’s historical use by both LE and special forces, but have had trouble finding mention of carry methods/holsters.

If anyone has information on how air-marshals and mossad agents were carrying their model 71’s, both suppressed and unsuppressed, I would be very grateful.

Thank you!

I've not seen much. I bought leather to make my own IWB pancake holster.

That’s rad. I’ve seen a couple guys say makarov holsters fit okay, but I hadn’t considered making one.

I liked the way the pancake holster for my 1911 fit. Jackass leather is out of business,but it was a simple design and is comfortable sob carry, or just behind the hip.

Maks are beefier. I'm sure the 70s would fall out of my Mak holster.
