8-3/8" Holsters?

[jwr689s]

I'm relatively new to the forum and I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a holster for an 8-3/8" barrel? I tried using the search feature, but didn't come up with anything. I'm looking for something for my 617 no dash. Just something to hike with (i'm obviously not using it for CCW!). I prefer leather, but I'd go with whatever works.

I just got my first revolver this year...a 686-2. I loved it so much I ended up getting my 617 a few months later. Between my experience with my new S&W wheelguns and all the helpful info on this forum, I'm ready to trade most of my semi autos for s&w revolvers at this point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 8 3/8" 617 is currently residing in a Bianchi Cyclone II #4001 LH nylon holster. Nuttin' fancy, but it does a good job.

So far this is the best photo found of the rig, taken during a walkabout:

I got a Roy's 8 3/8 N frame here on the forum but if I were you I would go to ebay and type in Roy holster and see what pops up I have bought several there, be prepared to take a little larger holster because they made a lot of fine pancake holsters that you can use standard or cross draw. Jeff

I have two shoulder holsters for the longer barrels I found them on clearances two years ago at midwayusa.
