Hi Jim:
I like this one: COMBAT MASTER BELT HOLSTER: Galco Belt Holsters at Galco
I think it affords almost as much protection as a flap holster, but with reduced bulk and no retention straps. It doesn't do much for a speed draw, but then again, I know my limitations, and fast I am not.
Good luck,
Dave

I'm not sure if you're looking just for OWB or if IWB is acceptable, but I carried a 3" 65 IWB in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II and it worked quite well. I also had an IWB holster based on the Milt Sparks VMII (made by a company that is no longer in business) that worked well; I'm sure there are others of that style.
I'm generally not a fan of OWB carry and don't have any experience carrying a revolver in such a holster. In general, though, I can recommend Side Guard Holsters. They make good quality holsters at a decent price. I consider them a good value.

Don't understand what you are asking for?

Jim here is an example of both the IWB & OWB from Milt Sparks in 3 inch K versions.
Excellent quality and workmanship, they cost a bit more than some, but what is your life worth?

if you contact Sam Andrews, at Andrews Custom Leather, he can fix you right up. I have been carrying a DAO 3 inch model 65 in his holster for 20 years. Bulletproof, ergonomic, perfect.
