I really like a Threeperson's for woods bumming. I carry mine on a 2.5" gunbelt (that is to say a separate belt). I like a moneybelt style for lighter guns like 4" N frames but a stiffer belt with suede lining for heavier sixguns.

I order my Threeperson's with a thumb strap whether they are SA or DA so retention isn't an issue.

If you go with a Threeperson's with thumb strap make sure you get the strap long enough past the snap to catch it easily with the edge of your hand as you draw (I like 4" extra). El Paso accommodates this request easily.

IMO, the most evolved Threeperson's is Milt Sparks 200 AW. I haven't tried one yet.
