Well hello gang! 
I got me a new Smith & Wesson Model 64 .38 special revolver that was a trade in from the Brinks security company. Here it is:
Note: I added the Pachmayer grips and painted the front sight orange. It's a lovely gun, shoots wonderful, and has a DAO hammer (no spur). I bought a Safariland holster off ebay that had a thumb snap, my preferred retention system. However, the thump snap was too large and obviously made to fit around a hammer spur... and with the exposed trigger guard (not a problem otherwise) the hammer could actually move all the way back and snap forward when the trigger is pressed.
Needless to day, I need to find another holster. I am looking for one that is made specifically for a DAO revolver such as this. I understand DAO revolver where popular with some police departments, but am wondering what type holsters they used to prevent discharges of the gun while in the holster. I am looking for a law enforcement style OWB duty holster for this particular gun, in keeping with the theme. I will be wearing the gun around the house and on the property, and at the outdoor range I go to.
So what do you guys suggest for an OWB duty type holster that is appropriate in regards to safety with a DAO revolver? Thanks so much!
