First post - Been browsing the forum for several hours. Lots of good information on the 629's so thanks.
Today I purchased a 629-4 6" in excellent condition from a local shop. The price was a little better than what they are selling for online so I'm happy with the purchase. Now I'm looking at my various options for holsters.
I bought the revolver primarily to carry in the woods. I spend a lot of time in the mountains of Washington and Idaho. I fly fish, drift fish, hike, mountain bike, pack, and camp as far from civilization as my old bones will allow. It is not uncommon for me to see signs of, or encounter, Mountain Lion, Black Bear, Grizzly, and Wolf. Came across fresh Grizzly scat and encountered a Wolf just last week while in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. (see attached pictures).
I want a holster which can be worn / drawn from horse back, biking, sitting in the drift boat, and hiking. It should work with everything from a t-shirt to full winter clothes while wearing a fishing vest and/or backpack.
I'm considering the Craft Holsters nylon roto shoulder holster.
Nylon Roto Shoulder Holster - Craft Holsters(R)
I'm open to any thoughts, recommendations, or suggestions. It would be perfect if someone has experience with this specific holster or a similar one.
I love the way the 629 feels in my hand and can't wait to shoot it. Really excited to see what the Buffalo Bore Dangerous Game ammo does to steel!
