I do not own a revolver without a hammer, and never would. Just personal preference. When we carried revolvers I always used Safariland IWB suede holsters. Never had a problem with a hammer snagging up. I used these holsters for every other handgun I own, as well. Until I discovered the Bianchi nylon fanny pack with secret holster. I use it all the time now. My semi-auto hammer never snags getting it out of it either, but I have always been very careful when drawing.
