I am getting promoted to Captain next month and my wife has approved the purchase of a 627 Pro as a dual promotion/Christmas gift. I'm going to place the order next week and have it shipped to an excellent veteran owned shop here in Colorado Springs who also happens to have the second best price right behind a pawn shop I don't have experience with. Main use will be USPSA, ICORE, and Steel Challenge but it'll also come with me on hiking and hunting adventures. I really like the fact that I can carry a spare moonclip loaded with light .38 reloads for grouse and rabbits while archery hunting. The number of times I kicked up a group of grouse hiking back to camp this year was insane. It'll also replace my Glock for HD once I get proficient on it so I don't have to rotate magazines anymore. I'm starting this thread as a place to hang updates but does anyone have a recommendation for a good leather holster for this?

I suggest you look at Garrett Industries leather lined kydex. Combines the form holding of kydex with the easy on the finish of leather.
Congratulations on your upcoming promotion (Air Force, Army, other?). Just to be clear on recommendations, are you talking IWB, OWB, chest rig, flap holster, etc.? Great pick for a meaningful mementos ... up I-25 a bit along the Front Range.

I use a Safariland 567 holster for my S&W 627 Pro (4" barrel).
edit: It might be part number: 567-12-411-225

Captain of what? Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, local PD, local FD?
What a teaser!

First and foremost: Congratulations on your promotion, Captain!
Leather: Since you're going all out on your commemorative revolver, I'd say go all out on its leather. Make it memorable. Go custom with a flair: belt, holster, cartridge carrier.

Here's a shot of one holster Von Ringler made for me, along with a pair of Craig Spegel extended boot grips out of cocobolo.

She's the household finance officer. I've gotten a gun the last two years for Christmas but my budget was expanded this year.

She is Household 6, AKA "The Commander", and is ALWAYS one rank above the husband.
Isn't that the truth and in this case the Household 6/8 (Commander and Finance officer). She says she's the General anyways so I've got some catching up still.
For holsters I'm not looking for anything fancy. Though it may be a gift it will still be a working gun and will get shot and carried. I want quality but not fancy.
How many times are you going to make Captain, Captain?

Congratulations on your promotion! I suggest you shop El Paso leather and Galco. I have both and they are excellent.

At 43.6oz according to the S&W website, it ought to be super mild with .38s and still mild with full snort .357s.
Handsome gun.
Hope you have more promotions in your future. Don

Congratulations on your upcoming promotion! I can recommend Lobo Gun Leather for a holster. Check out the Combat Classic or, if you're wanting to carry concealed, the Enhanced Pancake.
A Captain in the AF is a Navy LT......
Who can only be a OIC......
But congrats anyway from a old Navy guy!

Homie,
I'm tracking I can't shoot Grouse until 1SEP and bunnies until 1OCT. Handguns permitted.
two-bit cowboy,
I do only get promoted to Captain once, unless hypothetically I were to transfer to the Navy where a Captain is the same as an Army Colonel. However, If I were to get a nice holster and scuff it up, I'd be pretty miffed. I may het something nice in the future but for now the priority will be something that can gain it's own briar patch customization and I'll have some hunting tales to tell about it. It isn't as much commemorative as it is something I've wanted and is now approved for purchase. Right now I'm thinking a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake in the oxblood color. From everything I've seen, it's a quality but simple holster that will last.
STCM,
I'll just say something that was beaten into me as a Cadet... Beat Navy.
