I'm looking for a belt holster for the S&W 60 2." I want something that's comfortable, conceals, and allows for drawing the gun without catching. Any good numbers or styles that I should be looking at?
Revolver holsters?

You might want to check out the Workman by Mitch Rosen. I have never used it, but that holster has always intrigued me and I still might try it for my SP-101. The holster allows you to tuck if you so choose.

Go take a look at a Galco Fletch High Ride with a Thumb Break. I have been carrying an N frame and a J frame with one and they are nice. They are an on the belt out side carry. But they ride high and are easily kept concealed under a jacket or windbreaker.

The thumb break isn't a problem with revolvers?

I have never found the thumb break to be a problem with either of my revolvers. The holster is designed for them with the thumb break. The Galco Fletch is also a forward canted holster so grabbing the pistol is very natural.
I have never felt good about carrying anything that did not have a thumb break keeping it in the holster. The last thing I want to have happen is for the gun to fall out for any reason.
My theory with concealed carry is the less you have to think about it the better. Its not like I expose myself to situations where I have to go around prepared to draw all the time. If I were feeling that threatened I would put the pistol in my pocket and keep a hand on it! So a nice light pistol that is securely tucked to my side suits me best. I hate the IWB style of carry.
Some day I will try a good shoulder rig for my smaller pistols. I have a British SAS shoulder rig for my Browning HP and it is very convenient but it has a bigger PITA factor than the belt borne holsters for me.

I carry a S&W 642 and a Ruger SP101 in a Milt Sparks PMK. It conceals fine and I have never had a problem with it.

I carry a 3" SP101 in a Tauris reinforced high ride belt holster with a thumb break. Nice rig and I am very happy with it.
Try here: www.simplyrugged.com. I have been using one for a J-frame for over a year. Great holster, good value.
take care

Given the little snubs bulk......the cylinder, Id say if you want a good concealment holster for OWB......stay away from Belt styles.....like the Askins Avenger type. It puts a belt loop (more leather) behind the cylinder for more thickness and the design HAS TO HAVE stitching around the mouth that can catch on the edge of the cylinder during holstering/drawing the gun.
Stick with a pancake style holster. It will keep the gun tighter to the body and make the already thick gun more concealable. No stitching to get in the way either. Stay fairly high in the rd ht and use the right cover.......your stylin then.
Shoot well......
