Opinions on Charter Arms .44 Carry Options?

I finally bought one yesterday, and am considering carry options. I am down to either a pancake (Simply Rugged, etc.) or a Clipdraw. I like the ease of the clipdraw in theory, though I have never tried it for a revolver (didn't like it when I tried it for small autos) I tried a Barami Hip Grip on a J-frame, and didn't like the way it felt. Does anyone have personal experience with carrying this arm on the hip?

Personally, I don't care for clip draws, or anything that does not cover the trigger, if for no other reason.

My preference would be the pancake type holster. I have heard good things about Simply Rugged however I have no personal experience with them.

I had the same concern, but thought that the long trigger pull might negate some of the danger. However, it is possible to hook the trigger a la Burress...

+1 to Simply Rugged. I carried mine on the hip with no problems.

I'd pass on the Clip Draw, check out Galco for pancake holsters.

Skip the clip. I recently got a Simply Rugged Silver Dollar for my Taurus m85ul. I really love this holster. It can be worn either IWB or OWB and is very comfartable to me.

For revolvers this is more than likely the route I'll go for now on unless I break down and get a PureKustom.

+1 though for Simply Rugged great holsters , great price, Great CS and not a long wait either.

How high does it ride? I live in Fl and would love for a baggy T-shirt or guyabera to cover it easily....
