I have been using a holster of my own design for some years to carry my SA Ruger when hunting. It features a full flap for protection, and can be worn cross draw parallel to the belt, or worn as a regular strong side belt holster. I have had these made for my Smith 6 inch N frame also. The guys at Tactial Custom Leather in Micanopy Fl make them for me. They charge less than $100.
