I bought my first non snubbed nose revolver today. A Smith 66-8 with a 4.25 barre I need a good holster for mucking about in the woods. A few criteria 1) OWB 2) Fits a 1.5 inch belt 3) Leather 4) thumb break or similar retention. 5) $200 or less Any suggestions are hugely appreciated. |

1791 holster I have one of their open-top models and I'm pretty impressed with it. |

El Paso Saddlery #2 Otherwise, you could do well shopping around on EBay or Vintage Gunleather Today for an old Tex Shoemaker holster. I got a decent Tex Shoemaker for about $45 on Ebay... |

They're not the cool kid on the block but their stuff works, is reasonably prices, and its not a six month wait. |

I have a Bianchi Model 111 "Cyclone" holster for carrying my old Ruger Security Six .357 magnum revolver around my homestead. Can be used as a strong side or a cross draw holster. Has thumb strap retention and can usually be found " in stock" at Opticsplanet on Amazon for under $200.00 shipped. Gary |
