Looking for a holster for my 627 Performance Center

[kframe357]

Got an 8shot '97 Lew Horton 627 PC with 5" barrel. Trying to find recommendations for a good leather holster. Love Milt Sparks, but not planning on waiting 40+ weeks for my rig.

That's a pretty broad question, even with specific details. I'm assuming something along the waist/belt method? Mind sharing what you have in mind for use, ie; hunting, range, concealment, etc?
ETA:
You do know we like pics, especially of new shootin irons.
I will say that for all around revolver carry, I'm a fan of Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake and have them for M500, K, L, N, Z frames.

Simply Rugged can make you a good one.

OWB.
I usually go with Angry Dick Leather, but was informed that he can't do a 5"

I use Simply Rugged for field carry, also have a Kydex holster for revolver competition by Comp Tac that I bought from SpeedBeez

Another vote for Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged. I use various OWB leather holsters from them for an N and an L Frame plus a couple of Ruger Vaqueros. I also like their belts.

The 5" is gonna be the kicker, they're out there, but not as common as the 4".

I had my brother-in-law custom make me one last week for my 627PC.

Sourdough Pancake™

I just have the one holster for an N Frame. I believe it's called a "Cattleman". It's a nice, but simple, loop-on-the-back design which clearly isn't meant for concealment. Of course, a 6.5" N-Frame isn't the epitome of concealment anyway. I feel like it carries in a nice position for a reasonable draw, but also keeps out of the way.

Stay safe.

If he doesn't have it on hand he will have it made for you.

For the most common carry, and if you want to chest carry, the sourdough pancake is a nice option. You can get a chest carry rig to go with it.

The cattleman, as mentioned, is another nice option. Mine is a crossdraw variant that I have for my 3" L frame sized revolvers. It's not a CC holster, but for use at home or in the woods.

Pictured below is my Sundle's Ready Rig for my TRR8/M&P R8 and sourdough pancake holster for the same guns. The shoulder holster is an interesting option as well. It makes carrying a larger handgun easier for me.



I've tried various holsters from different companies. For leather ones I prefer Simply Rugged ones. They make holsters for my larger than typical sized sidearms. It's a niche market in the handgun world to say the least.

Ive had excellent holsters from both Simply Rugged & Tucker Gun Leather
I like the way the Simply Rugged 120 looks better than the HF3 but, the Tucker Gunleather HF3 is a hair nicer imo
Can't lose with either imo

Ive seriously debated a Sundles Ready Rig - how well do you like it?
Im not sure why they don't offer it in their Oxblood though ....
