LOOK AT SIMPLY RUGGED. I'M A LEFTY. I USE THEIR SOURDOUGH PANCAKE, CROSSDRAW FOR MY 4" N FRAMES. I'M SURE THEY COULD MAKE UP A FLAPJACK OR A SOURDOUGH FOR YOUR 500 MAGNUM. GREAT MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP, REASONABLE PRICE……...
I do not know what you consider expensive, I went with Black Hills Leather, standard hip holster for a 4" and also fits the 2 3/4 inch. Very nice, good quality, quick turn around time. It can be made with or with out a thumb break I believe. Check them out. Be Safe,

thank you for the help. I consider expensive anything over 100 bucks.
I don't think you're going to find a "Good" holster for a 500 magnum for $100. You got a big expensive gun there don't go cheap on a holster. I went to Diamond D and got their chest holster, however they do make belt holsters also. 7X Leather also makes some quality stuff, you won't go wrong with either.

I agree with Bobthegod as far as a holster for your X frame. You are going to pay for a quality leather holster any way you look at it. Looking at other sites that make quality leather holsters that will fit your X frame, you are going to pay $100 or more. You also didn't say what kind of holster you want either, or what barrel length you need.

I don't think you would like wearing the .500 on your belt for any length of time.....the weight of it will work you over in short order.
I made a pancake for a fella..6" bbl if my memory serves me....I tried talking him out of it but he insisted. Sure enough I got an email from him asking for support suggestions. We decided to give suspenders a try. He says they help but still weighs him down when walking around in the woods.
I would suggest a chest rig.....or a baldrick of some sort attached to the belt for support....or maybe something like this:
