Holster for 3" J-Frame
Some years ago before I obtained my CCW, I dropped into a local gun store to look at what was on the shelves. I ended up buying a stainless 3" J Magnum with a full lug and adjustable rear sight. Grips are like the ones on the 5" model shown in a prior post.
I soon found that obtaining a proper holster involved more than looking at the rack at Cabelas. For that reason, and for the reason that my CCW instructor characterized an exposed hammer as a "hook" designed to snag on garments, the revolver was assigned to bedroom and RV duty. I bought a Model 642 for carry, and later supplemented it with a couple of semiautos.
By that time I had learned to order good holsters that fit the gun and that can be reholstered one handed--and good belts.
Today, I decided to acquire the facility to carry the Model 60 should the need arise. The Milt Sparks VM-2 is my favorite semi-auto holster, and I have a Com-Tac for an M&P 9c, but I decided to look around a bit.
I came upon an outfit called Bell Charter Oak in upstate NY. They make a model for the Model 60 3"; "Lefty", to whom I spoke, has one. I ordered one with a reinforced mouth.
Will report back in six to eight weeks.
