For Blackhawks in .45 at 4 5/8 or 5 1/2, try Tin Star Shooting Range. They're in Oklahoma, but with shipping and transfer fees, they were still the cheapest I found. Fast shipping and excellent customer service.
As for shoulder rigs less than $50, you won't find quality if you're still talking leather. Can't help you with nylon. Sorry.

Thanks. At the moment I was speaking of a holster for my little 941. And $50 is a bit on the low side. I just don't wanna spend $100.00 or more so I was low-balling it lol

Ok- going to pick up a Blackhawk .41 mag with 5 1/2" barrel this saturday. FOR HUNTING, riding, and just taking a stroll through the woods, do yall prefer Exposed trigger guard or not. The latter seems more secure and protects gun better but yall have more experience so lay it on me...

Shorter will carry better ,slightly longer sight radius may help accuracy a little as well as velocity ,your choice,sounds like you plan on carrying more than shooting so personally I'd go shorter

I don't think Ruger offers the Blackhawk in 357 with a 5 1/2" barrel. I prefer the shorter barrels myself. Hard to beat the 4 5/8" Blackhawk in 45 colt. It's lighter than the 357 and quieter, too!

I think, a perfect size double-action revolver, for a trail gun - should have a 4" barrel. As regards a single action revolver - My favorite trail gun is my Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt with a 4 5/8" barrel.
Both have good balance and are more wieldy.

I generally wear one of my Kifaru packs when walking. The waist belt has such great support that you can wear a fairly heavy sidearm with comfort.
I have 6 3/8" Model 28 in 357 that is a great piece when you start shooting, the 357 loses a lot in a short barrel. I also carry my 45ACP/460 Rowland Model 625 with a 5" barrel.
While I have shorter barreled pistols, I feel that these two don't compromise performance one bit, while I always feel the shorter ones are simply defensive weapons and not serious hunting tools.
Ignorance is not confined to uneducated people.

The shorter of the two.
Consider a 'shoulder holster' rig maybe?

5.5" is good. 4 5/8 is even better. My 454 casull is 4 3/4". I don't own a long barreled handgun at this point.
