I don't know how many have heard of Front Line holsters. They're made in Israel and claim to be the go-to equipment for Israeli armed units including the Mossad. I don't know if they are but they do make a pretty good holster with some unique features.
I bought this one on eBay last week. It's a leather exterior, suede lined, with Kydex in between. This one is for a 3" S&W K, but it fits my newly-acquired Taurus .44 Specials perfectly as well. It originally had a formed belt loop on it but I switched it to a Safariland paddle that I had lying around, which was pretty easy to do. That snapped strap originally held the belt loop, which is designed to slide over the belt rather than having to thread the belt through it as you dress. Like I said, unique. The loop was comfortable enough... I'd wanted a paddle but the eBay seller was out of them in brown leather for the 3" K. So, I made my own. The loop was not damaged in removing it, so I can simply screw it back on if I want. They have other models available as well in black or brown, priced in the $50-75 range.
