Charlie,

I agree with someone above, it'd be a long shot to find a used Mod 35 6" holster. But a 6" K frame 5BH (unlined) or a 5BHL (lined) would be a much more likely find.

And the looser fit is in my mind a great advantage. When wet formed to the gun the stoutness of a good lined holster makes for good enough retention while drawing and re-holstering is much easier and with much less finish wear than a tight holster. Also with the retention strap and a 6" barrel, there is amost no potential for losing the gun from the holster.

Well you have the anticipation of the hunt to look forward to. Enjoy and good luck!
