Smile New 638 with 2.5" barrel (Need holster)

Like the title says, I am looking for an IWB holster for a 638 with a 2.5" barrel. Most J-frame holsters are for the 1,7/8" barrel. I have several and the new, longer barrel does not fit well.
I carry "appendix" position, and would like a holster that has plenty of adjustment for "depth" as well as cant.
Any suggestions??

Welcome to the club! I love my 2.5" 638. I asked this question a while back and got some great suggestions. I ended up with a desantis nemesis for pocket carry and a Don Hume for IWB. I really like them both and hope to eventually get a lobo.

Here's the thread I posted: Holster options for a 2.5" J Frame

Sorry I can't help, but if you don't mind, do you find the longer barrels an improvement in longer sight radius, balance, or what other areas ?

I'd check with Simply Rugged, also I was just on Bell Charter's website and they have them.
