I am looking to buy a shoulder holster for someone for Christmas (it's what he wants) and I am not sure how to go about it. It is a Ruger 22, and I know I have to take into account the size of the barrel. But does that include the entire length of the gun or just the barrel that extends off the front? It looks like the part that extends is about 3", but the entire length is about 6". Any suggestions as to what kind to get? I do not know a lot about guns..Help :o)

The holster manufacturer needs to know what type of gun and the length of the barrel. They know how to make a holster to fit your gun with this information.

Almost every holster comes in a package. On the back, it has a list of what that particular holster fits. On the barrel size, it just wants to know what length the barrel only is on your particular gun. In otherwords, it will list that it fits a Ruger .22 (by model) with a 4" barrel etc. Barrels on handguns are measured from the end of the barrel back to the front of the frame of the firearm.
Good luck and shoot safe

I just measured a few of my my Ruger Mark Is and IIs....the barrel on one that extends from the gun is about 3.25 inches, which is what it sounds like you have and the shortest barrel made for this Ruger.
Now, this is officially a 4.75 inch barrel and some places list it as a 4 and 7/8s inch.

Midway USA allows you to search for holsters by make and model of the firearm: http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/browse?TabID=7&Categoryid=11234&categorystring=10613***694***12659***
I pointed you towards the Ruger listing, and a holster for a Mk 2 should fit a Mk 3 or 4, too, and it sounds like he has one of those.
Unfortunately, not all pictures depict the actual product, but they should at least be close.

If you plan on getting from a gun store ask them if you can bring the gun in and try it in the holsters, most of them will let you.
