Here is a vintage Bianchi Clam Shell Shoulder Holster Rig - Can be used for either Right or Left hand side carry.
It is minus the harness straps.
Also has belt loop slots on both sides so that it can be used for OWB carry in a pinch.
It features two rectangular openings inside that perfectly "house" the revolver cylinder in addition to the Spring shell retention.
So it's quite secure the revolver will not fall out.
It holds the revolver securely and one only needs to tug on the wheel gun to have it in hand. No retention strap is necessary.
Fits J-Frame Snubs and clone revolvers.
Reholstering is a slight PITA and so it's a holster that is really intended for carry to have the revolver quickly at the ready and not intended for constant drawing and reholstering.

And....(shameless plug) it is for sale in Members Buy, Sell, Trade at a very reasonable price since I pretty much always carry a semi-auto in .45 these days.

Mine's a little beafier and weighs a bit more than most snubbies, but I sure love how she shoots! And with .357 Speer Gold Dots, she has plenty of power.

Shoot me an email when you can and I'll be happy to take it off your hands for my collection.

Matt - I have a Bianchi clamshell shoulder rig (has a wider suede harness loop on the gun side, and an adjustable elastic strap on the support side) that dates back to 1971 for a 2-1/2" K-frame, and as you would expect, it's left-handed. The holster itself has no belt slots, it's just a spring loaded clamshell.

I'm sure we can work something out if you like it. :-)

Best regards,

Buck

You rascal! And damn! I only have a 3 inch Performance Center K frame.

I carry a model 29 S&W 3" (stiil a snubbie) in the winter when I occaionally carry OWB for convenience . I load it up with Speer 200 gr. JHP short barrel rounds (close to the recoil of a .44 special and very managable).
As a matter of fact I just purchased this TT Gunleather OWB with snaps for ease of removal. It's the first one off the line and marked TT #1. So far I really love the rig. My pics Do Not do it justice.
Tim really worked with me on this one gun being a 3". Cannot praise him enough. Just a great guy, very professional and a man of his word. Thanks Tim, I'll be back shopping soon!

TT leather has been impressing me recently. All the pics I have seen have shown nice work. I think I might have to place an order with him. Very nice holster Sportsterguy!

Thanks orangehole! Try Tim at TT out. He'll do you right. Tightened my belt up 1 notch and it really brought it in closer to my side. Wore it with a flannel shirt and had no worries about being made and was VERY comfortable.

And my DeSantis pocket holster
