Get a nice leather pancake style for it. DeSantis makes one called the Speed Scabbard. Targa in Brazil imports some nice ones as well. If you have none locally you can get them at OpticsPlanet.com | Low Prices, Free S&H on Binoculars, Sunglasses, Night Vision Goggles, Riflescopes, Flashlights, Rangefinders - Hunting, Outdoor, Science & Military Gear. I recommend getting one that covers the trigger.

I have several for my 2.5 66. My favorites are a Bianchi Shadow and a Don Hume JIT. Most of us have a box full of holsters looking for what we like. Good luck!

I use a Tex Shoemaker paddle. It has a strap that goes around your belt too, for extra retention. Black basket weave of course. Regards 18DAI

Try Lobo holsters out. Custom rigs fitted to your specs at a very good price. Rays a member here and a very good man who will do you right! Guaranteed!

When I do pack my 66 snub it's in one of his IWB holsters thats comfortable for all day carry. He makes many different versions and I like his pancake and Enhance Avenger. Pancake is good for the field or concealed carry as it rides snug up against your body.

I use the El Paso Saddlery "Tortilla" #77, or the "Street Combat" #88 with either basketweave or full floral finish. Either is very comfortable and either will hide the gun very nicely.

Another Lobo fan here. I have his Enhanced Pancake with optional Inner Hammer Shield for my 2-1/2" 66 No Dash.

Current price is $70.
Normally about a 4 - 5 week wait for completion.

FOR THE PRICE.........DeSantis is a good honest holster. For the BEST OF THE BEST (IMHO of course) the Kramer Leather Horsehide Belt Scabbard is the NUTS! Yes, it is pricey, but if you are going to carry on a daily basis that is the ONE I would reco. After 30+ years of packin', it is simply the best I have ever experienced!

I have seen Lobo Leather holsters on this Forum quite a bit and while I have never owned or used one, they do look like good quality and reasonably priced holsters. There are certainly enough members here who seem to like Rays work, so you might want to give him a jingle.
