Today I found a 681 used by the OSHP. Does anyone know what holster was issued for this revolver?

I believe it was a Don Hume front break.
The head of OSHP firearms training told me back in 1998 that the 681 was the best service weapon they ever had.

Thanks Dave. I wondered because now, I need to find a holster for it. An issue would be nice to have.

I wish I had kept the ones I had in the past. A Detroit Official Police nickel 5 inch. Another OP marked Federal Reserve Bank of NY. An Indiana State Police model 66.....I gotta stop now, making me feel bad!
I do still have an OP out of the Indiana State Prison from 1929.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol issued a Smith & Wesson Brand breakfront security holster with the 681. It was a custom holster as it was a swivel holster. They also had a speed loader/handcuff case combo holder that carried two Safariland Comp II loaders this item was made by Don Hume. These had been around awhile as Smith & Wesson sold off the holster manufacturing portion of their business to Gould and Goodrich.

They have the Oho State Patrol Patch stamped into the side plate.
