A local shooter suggested I try an Uncle Mike's Kydex Hip Holster. He happened to have one of his own, so played around with it for a while. Though not pretty, it functions well with the revolvers I'd carry in it, and the price is right as well. Thanks to all for the advice and info.

Thanks for the info so far; I wish the aforementioned holster maker had been as helpful. Thanks, too, Old cop, for the 2" holster with an open bottom idea; I hadn't thought of that.

I have two or three j-frames that occasionally see pack-along duty on fishing, hunting, or hiking trips. I'd like to get a simple but well-made holster to carry them in, something on a pancake theme perhaps. Two of the revolvers have 2" barrels (models 642 and 34), and one a 3" tube (a model...

After maybe half a dozen exchanges with Kate Fredette I received a prepaid FedEx shipping label (including insurance) from S & W to send my 624 back. I sent it off on January 15 and received it back on February 1 with a note saying it had passed. In all of this there was only one hiccup. When...

still confused! I e-mailed S & W on Monday to ask about my particular revolver, a Lew Horton 624 with a 3" barrel. Based on the serial number Lew Horton said that they had the gun in May of 1985. Today S & W e-mailed back and suggested I call their customer service number, 800-331-0852, ext...

I have a 3" model 60 as well; so does my brother. Mine is a .357 mag and his is .38 special. I'd just as soon have his because honest .357 loads are just too much for me in this little revolver. If I really need .357 power then my 2.5" model 66 goes along. That said, I'm not likely to get...

I notice a discrepancy of sorts in the information provided in message #16 of this thread. The quoted Skelton article provides serial number ranges such as ADXXXXX, etc.; the info from Kate at S & W is nearly the same, ADXXXX, but notice the different number of Xs. The serial number on my 624...
