need to find a holster for a S&W 610

Now mind you, this is gonna be a feat to conceal. Smith & Wesson 610 (N-frame), 6.5" barrel.

Before anyone gets worked up, I didn't buy this gun specifically for concealed carry, I'm just looking for holster options that don't scream "cowboy." About the only belt holster I've found for any 6.5" N-frame is the Galco Phoenix, but it only comes in tan (I prefer black). There are a few shoulder rigs available, but I've found that shoulder rigs are cumbersome and take too long to put on and get adjusted properly on a daily basis. Though I doubt I'll be carrying this thing daily anyway. :)


Anyway, I'm just looking for a holster that will work well at the range, but also be comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time, when I don't have to conceal (BBQ gun, anyone?). I'm not adversed to having a holster custom made, but would really rather keep the price under $100. If it comes down to it, I'll bite the bullet and have one made specifically (which I may have to do anyway, since this particular gun has a full barrel length underlug, and the cylinder is a slightly different size compared to a 29/629, which is what most long barreled N-frame holsters are designed to hold).

Thanks for any info. :)
