Gentlemen and Ladies,
I'm looking for a good holster for a 2 1/2" Taurus 617. Here's the rub, my guess is that the pistol shares some similar dimensions to the S&W "L" frames, notibly the S&W 686 7-shot revolver.
Now here's where it gets complicated, I would prefer either to carry IWB or maybe pancake at the 4 o'clock position on my hip.
Since this is my CCW weapon I would like the least exposure as possible. I've found with this pistol the grips tend to stick out when I carry IWB a little behind my right hip.
I'm looking for a good, practical holster and truth be told I don't want to spend $100.00 on it. I also know that quality comes with a price. So I'm looking at spending @$50.00-$70.00 on a good holster (Hume and Sparks be damned!). Yes I do have a good quality double sided belt made specifically for handguns.
Any ideas? One more thing going to any other pistol is NOT an option. This is my gal, I shoot her well, she's reliable and I prefer the .357 revolver for concealed carry.
Edited with 20% extra goodness and has twice as many vitamins and minerals as other posts.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
