This is a Nelson Leather Co. of Scio, Oregon shoulder holster I use for my 6.5" 500. I hunt with my 500 so weight, durability and accessibility are all important considerations for me.
They aren't the fanciest but are certainly the best buy in leather holsters for the X frame guns. I paid less than $85 plus shipping for the one pictured. They are available with either a clam shell spring like a Bianchi or a Safariland or a pouch type with a very secure snap like the one pictured. The X frame holsters are custom made for each barrel length and must be ordered.
