I'm sure some will be along with ideas and recommendations but you might add some more details, ie; material preference (leather kydex, nylon).
Also, how/where you prefer to carry, retention type, etc.
Doing a search of the holster section may provide some info.
IMO, holsters are a personal item that is hard to advise what might work for someone else. Good luck.

Your ideal carry holster may not be the same as mine, but here are a few
suggestions. On the left is my Model 29 with 4" barrel, wearing Herrett's
smooth cocobolo stocks.
2nd from left is a Milt Sparks 200AW on a Haugen gunbelt. The dog ear
is to protect the lining of your jacket from the hammer spur.
3rd from left is a vintage Idaho Leather holster on a Dave Keith belt.
4th from left is a Kramer Vertical horsehide on a Sparks gunbelt.
5th from left, in case you want a crossdraw occasionally, is a vintage
Viking 55M .
Both Sparks and Kramer are still in business, but expect long
wait times.
Idaho Leather and Viking can sometimes be found on the auction
site if your lucky.

You should also check out "Simply Rugged " and Galco's Combat Master I have some of each and they have worked very well.

My all time favorite is the Kramer horsehide vertical scabbard with full coverage and excellent retention. Tough and tight, it's great for bushwackin' but not for speed shooting. I also like my Galco Phoenix and Milt Sparks #200AW and SS-2H IWB holsters. And, honestly, there's nothing wrong with the Hunter 1100. I've got a couple of them too.

Kramer belt scabbard or vertical scabbard in horse hide.
You cannot go wrong.

I have bought a few of these over the past few years and they a pretty nice for the money. They run about $55 online. The brand is Masters. I believe they are made in Italy.

Bill,
Nice looking holster. It appears to be a copy of the Sunday holster by Brill with a retaining strap added. Was the strap requested by you or is it standard? Other than the strap, is it a good copy of the Brill? Will it hold the revolver without the strap? Is the toe sewn to the skirt? You get the idea.
Kevin

Hunter 1100 series might work for you.
The legendary Bianchi 5BH is now made in Mexico(and is still a fine holster,) while the current real hand made by the Bianchis are made by Frontier Gun Leather and their rendition of the "5" is called the Liberty Quicksnap.

I am getting ready I think to carry it some. It is just gorgeous and I almost hate to carry, but I can’t afford “safe queens.” I figure it was made to be used so I will carry it from time to time. Who knows I may get me a tooled rig to use on our alumni days at the Academy. Ha!

If you are including floral carved in your search, here are a couple I like
a lot.
On the left is a Myres model 614 Tom Threepersons style.
On the right is a Hunter Model 3100, size 12.

I have been happy with the Kramer MSP paddle with bigger guns, including the N frame. If for some reason I were to want to open carry, such as woods time, I actually have a Safariland 070 Level III duty holster for a 4" N frame and did use it on duty for a while.

Have been extremely pleased with the Bianchi 111 Cyclone, the 5BHL and the 10L. Finding a 10L is going to be a challenge as it is out of production. Prefer the Cyclone. Works perfectly for my 4 inch N frames. Sincerely. bruce.

DeSantis Speed Scabbard...have them for most of my guns both revolver and semis...
Has "ears" that protects ones clothing from the rear sight and hammer spur...
American made and one can usually find them for about $50.00...

I ended up with a Milt Sparks 200AW and a Galco Combat Master. The Galco conceals better, but the Milt Sparks is my favorite.
