My only shortie in a "4x" caliber, a Lew Horton 24-3. Had a hard time finding a holster for a 3" N-frame, I think I picked this one up at a gun show in New Mexico. I bought the gun from an old gent about 12 years ago and thought it would be a good gun to use as my back-up gun that I carry while bowhunting elk in Colorado. I did carry it for one season and then retired it to the safe, realizing that A) it was worth too much to be flying with and risk losing it to the airline gremlins, B) it really did not offer much in size and weight reduction compared the 4-5/8" Ruger Blackhawk in .45 colt I usually carry, and C) I could not load the .44 special even close to what I get from a .45 colt load in the Blackhawk
