4" N-Frame Shoulder Holster Recommendation
What is a good shoulder holster for a 4" N-Frame? Ideally, the holster would be adaptable for OWB carry also.
Thanks

Check out Simply Rugged's pancake holster with the Chesty Puller rig. I use it for my 4" Ruger SRH and will also be using a similar setup for my 625 Mountain Gun.
Pancake holster has the flexibility to wear strong side and crossdraw. Add their inside the waist band straps and you can wear it as a IWB holster.
Flexibility is excellent and turnaround is 4-6 weeks.

Are you concealing it?
If so, search around and find you a Bianchi X-15 large size. GREAT rig. I own several and have used them since back on duty days. Conceals better than you'd think under a jacket or sportcoat. But it doesn't double as a belt rig.
The previous advise about Simply Rugged is another great one, and that one, as mentioned, does do double duty. It is not, in it's shoulder guise, a concealment rig however. It's a chest rig.
Hope this helps.

This is what I bought to tote my 8 3/8" 629 in one of SR's long hunter pancakes.
It works very well. Highly adjustable for use above/below jackets.
Great folks to deal with, too.

Very true. With the Chesty Puller straps, you can wear the revolver cross chest or under arm but it is definitely a field rig.
I expect the Sourdough Pancake holster could be used OWB/IWB as a conceal carry, but I only use it in the field.

Price-Western makes a very nice vertical that you can re-holster with one hand. Reasonably priced.

+1 for Simply Rugged. I have a 3" n frame pancake and it carries and conceals very nicely. Don't have a Chesty rig yet, but it seems ideal for the woods. Nice honest folks, too.

Thanks for all of the responses. I will be concealing it, but not to carry around town or anything. I will probably wear a light shirt over it in the woods or while fishing so it doesn't have o be perfectly concealed. I just don't want to blatantly advertise that I have it.
