tjsjr,

Search gunnersalley.com and check out that model. The one pictured on the site is for a semi-auto, not a revolver; but you can get an idea anyway. This holster securely clips to waistband or over belt & waistband (I clip behind belt, over waistband). It's a small holster, but covers the trigger guard and cylinder; but because this gun has a pretty good size grip on it, almost as much gun is out of the holster as in. It sits down in my pants as far as I'd care for it to; any further and it would make sitting more difficult and would be uncomfortable (I wear it in the 10-11 o'clock position). Conceals well under untucked shirt or T-shirt. I'm not convinced that any gun stuffed in your pants is ever 100% comfortable, and the bigger the gun/holster the worse it's going to be. That said, I'm carrying way more than I ever intended or thought I would; no big deal. My lighter S&W 442 (at half the weight of the Rossi, and smaller frame) is a joy to carry in the same holster/position. Don't know where you're thinking of carrying it, but I decided real quick that IWB at 3 or 9 o' clock are definitely out because it is extremely uncomfortable and does not conceal well for me (I'm a small guy, 150 lbs, and carried in those positions looks like I have a huge tumor or siamese twin attached).

I also have an Uncle Mike's size 36 that works good. It's a very inexpensive synthetic holster. It covers the hammer (which is nice) with it stuffed in front of your belly; the Don Hume does not, so the hammer does stick your belly using it. The next size up Uncle Mike's for a K-frame might even be a little better for this gun, if it's not too big. I think this gun is actually somewhere between a J-frame and a K-frame.

If you want, private message me your e-mail address and I'll send you some pictures.

All that said, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better leather holster than the Don Hume for less than $30. The only thing I'm not totally sure of is if the Colt Detective, Smith 10, or K-frame versions (if there really is any difference in these versions of Don Humes) are a better fit than the other.
