Hey everyone, I've been using a cheap Blackhawk brand nylon holster from Wal-Mart for my 6" GP-100 for the past six months. It's been a good holster but I don't like the retention strap as it is slow to use. I have to grab the strap and pull it open, then grab the revolver grip to draw. Very slow. It's this same holster save mine is for a 6" gun and I am right handed:

I'm ready to step up and get a real holster. Not only that, but I've had the revolver holster and a speedloader pouch simply looped through my normal jeans belt. It works, but I keep hearing I need a dedicated outside the pants gun belt, or at least a sturdy belt designed to work for jeans that will also be good for a holster.
I'm not at all an expert on holsters or gun belts. I need some help in finding both a solid belt of some sort to hold the holstered revolver and a speedloader pouch. Also I need to find a good holster for my 6" GP-100. I would much prefer a hip holster, no shoulder or chest rigs. I would prefer a thumb-snap but am open to other ideas for retention. I'm right handed. I would greatly prefer a closed bottom holster for outdoor use. Not too picky about materials used, I just want a quality piece that's rugged and that I could depend on in a fight.
Basically I'm looking for a duty or police-style holster for a big 6" Ruger revolver, and a belt to support both it and my dual speedloader pouch (an HKS dual-pouch w/ 2" belt loop). Thanks for the help in advance!
