Default Smith & Wesson model 69
I have recently acquired a 4.5" barrel model 69, .44 magnum L frame. I cannot find a dual action leather holster for trail use. I would like a crossdraw/strongside option if possible. Any suggestions? Every holster I have found online shows 4" or 6" barrels.

Bianchi/safariland 111 cyclone.

According to this thread
New Model 69 holsters?

It fits in the "4in" version.

Model 111 Cyclone™ Belt Holster - The Safariland Group

Probably my favorite revolver holster.

I think it’s 4.25 inch barrel not 4.5. Though mine is 2.75. I bet Some 4 inch holsters will work great. You can always have one made too. Simply rugged make great products.

I also had one made for it. I’ll try to provide a photo tomorrow of it. It wouldn’t work as well for cross draw as it hangs lower on purpose

Took a few days, but here is the custom holster I have for mine. It hangs lower so it's not great for cross draw.
