Default Concealment rig for Mod60-4

I own a 60-4 which is a 38Spl 3" full lugged bbl with adj. sights. It's always been a safequeen but Iwant to start carrying it concealed. I have grips, speedloaders and ammo from my 642 and 442.

What I need is a high ride concealment rig. Would some of you post a pic of a 60 3" in a OWB concealment rig. I would appreciate it very much.

No pics, but I can highly recommend the Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake. I regularly use one with my SP101 3", which is just slightly larger than your M60.

Not the best picture but here is my Rafters holster for 3" M-60.

This one is black sharkskin with alligator trim. I have a matching one in brown sharkskin with alligator trim. If you're interested I would sell one or both of them as I don't use them any more. They are super holsters, ride high and tight to the body. The shark is virtually indestructible.

Here's their website: Holsters

Thanks KS Cowboy but I am left handed. Nice looking rigs though.

Rafter is more than a year late in producing my holster, even though I paid up front. Money gone and still no holster.

They do make fine holsters, but I would call them first to make sure that they are still in business.

I have both Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake and EPS #77 and # 88 for various S&W's including J, K, L, N and X frames. I can recommend them along with JW Orourk pancakes.

Lots of other good holsters out there too. I just haven't tried them all yet. Working on it though.

I had this holster made for my 3" 66. I wanted a holster I could take on and off without removing my belt but didn't want a paddle or a strap over the gun. Perfect holster for me and handles the gun weight well. I can carry my 66 as easy as my .380 PPK.

Ray Cory out of Colorado at lobogunleather.com. I was referred to him from a forum member here and am very happy with the holster and his good service. No I am not affiliated in any way...just passing on a good place to check out for holsters.

Thank you for your efforts and advice. I like the open top design that I see with the Lobogunleather.

Ray, the owner of Lobo will do you right on your rig! He gets an A+ in my book. Have 2 of his rigs and they are fantastic and you cannot beat the price. His Enhanced Avenger would be a good holster for your 60 and fit your needs. I personally don't like the OWB snap holsters, but thats just me as I carry IWB 90% of the time..
