Azula holsters on eBay. Best deal around
If you don't require a thumb snap retention then Azula is a great value. I wore one with my 3" M629 for a year. My brother has that holster now and it's certainly high quality leather and stitching!
While I do not have a photo of one of mine, I am quite fond for the Galco Concealable
It is also an open top holster.
I have them for various snubs and autos and they really carry close into the body

I have a Lobo Enhanced Pancake that is about perfect for my 3" 65 but worked just as well for the 2.5" 64 when I had it. They will make you one for whatever barrel length you want.
^^^^^^^^
This, and I’ll add the Combat Master. Have em for all my revolvers and autos.
For hunting and/or hiking? You may have a rifle slung over strong side
shoulder? If so, I suggest looking for a holster you can wear cross-draw.
Open tops are great for carrying OWB concealed by shirt or jacket,
but for OWB open carry, especially in the woods, I prefer a retention
strap.
The so called "field style" holsters were made for OWB carry and being
vertical, they work well for cross-draw too.
There are usually a lot of choices on ebay. Here are a couple of mine.
On the left a Hunter model 1100.
On the right an S&W "Wessonhide" model 19.

I have many Lobo holsters and like them fine. I do prefer the snap loop style to allow for on and off the belt without removing the belt.
Bianchi 111 Cyclone cross draw....... hiking, hunting or riding a ATV/SXS I like the gun in front of my hip.......thumb snap retention ..... can be pushed back to 9 O'clock for deeper concealed carry if needed.....
My favorite with my 3" 66 in Penn's Woods

Everyone has great ideas concerning holsters. Many different choices to be had. I carry my 2 1/2 M66 in a Rodek pancake holster. Less than $50, and it has a snap for retention. I carry this while hunting, and a snub M60 in the same brand holster on a daily basis. Have had them for a few years now and still like new. I don't have a camera for pictures, but they have a website.

I have carried my 66 in a Buckheimer C-52 LH that I bought used in a Lafayette gun store long ago.
Couldn’t find it When I tried to look it up online.
So maybe a used one on eBay or somewhere?
And you can wear it cross draw.

Another choice.............
I've got a Bianchi 5BHL that fits my 2 1/2 in K frames. Thumb break retention. I use this one mostly when fishing or hiking.
It's a little "floppy" for concealed carry.
I also use a Galco L139 WC CM102. (that's all stamped on the back). It's open top, the retention is mostly accomplished w/ an impression pressed into the front and back to clasp the trigger guard. This one is an excellent CC holster. (for me)
Both are OSWB
The Bianchi is a handsome little holster IMO.
I don't have a pic of the Galco.
