holster for s&w m60

Got a m60, 2" barrel that I need a holster for quickly. Am looking at galco's for now because they are quick to get. Might special order one later but I need one to use now. Anyone have any opinions on galco's OWB holsters for a m60? I've looked at concealable and side snap scabbard and speed paddle and stinger. I will use the revolver at about 4:00. Want good concealability but it looks like any of these would do that. Thanks for any opinions.

John

Galco stuff is just okay. It's well made, but I find that the leather they use isn't so good and the holsters get soft pretty quick.

For a top notch hand made custom holster, Eric at HBE has got one of his pancake holsters in stock and ready to ship. Check out his site at H.B.E. Specialty LeatherWorks You'll be very happy with his work and the holster will last you for years. Good luck.

For an off the shelf concealment holster for the S&W J frames, I can recommend the Blackhawk Speed Classic.


BLACKHAWK! Speed Classic Leather Concealment (S&W J-Frame) - BLACKHAWK!

I use Galco Stinger for my 640 as my primary cool weather EDC Holster. It snugs piece right up to body and is fast. I have carried my 60 in it too, with a good fit.

Good quality, quick delivery?
Search out Fist holsters through 'Related Links' above. It costs nothing to look.

Carry my M 60 in a Silver Dollar loaded pancake by Simply Rugged. Great holster, just cannot say more.
