i have not read all posts yet ? but i just purchased a x-draw paddle holster and went to a lighter revolver Ruger 4 1/2 inch barrel sp101 Ruger 357 ,5 shot . this system is lighter ,accurate and with hard lead bear bullets i feel safe and hardly notice myself carrying this combo. try a paddle holster you will be surprise how well it fits , i am right handed have it on left side angled in front of my hip its quick and fast there too. good luck,Pete53
