for field guns. You are right, it isn't space science. If you are
selling a holster to fit a 6" N frame and it's not designed to
carry a cannon, what is the purpose of this holster?

I will take it a step futher. Take a #111 Cyclone CD for N frame.
Gun with Target hammer is already out. A 629 will fit and snap.
Put it on a Bianchi cartridge belt. Gun don't fit no more.

I think they should put some design people on making holsters
for big guns that are practical for the sportsman. It's basic stuff.
We are not concerned with concealment, fast draw or any of the
finer points that may be required for anti personnel use or the
holsters guys use on ranges. Like I said there is nothing wrong
with the holster proper. They are molded to fit the gun. A little
common sense should be applied to how a holster for a big gun
is going to be carried. Leave the science for the CCW holsters
for the gut buster guns.
I don't disagree with anything you said there. Perhaps all that, is what you meant to say with your original post? The Cyclone, of course, is from my youth and we've learned a lot about good holster design since then; it absolutely was not a science then. On the other hand, first I've heard of the Cyclone fitting without the belt, and then not fitting with it; and Cyclone comes up often on forums.
