Galco Phoenix

For a cross draw that also works strong side the bianchi cyclone is hard to beat. I have one for a 586 and it is nice. Not Sparks nice but it is less than half price and can be at your door by the end of the week.

For a crossdraw, I like the Bianchi a little bit more than the Galco, probably has to do with my build, nothing more. Both are quality holsters.

For strong side only, the El Paso Saddlery snap off elite is the most comfortable I've ever worn, with the Desantis speed scabbard getting an honorable mention.
Bianchi Cyclone is nice, but I also like Simply Ruggeds holsters.
Galco wheel gunner or DAO
I’m joining Cariboujack on this, Simply Rugged. They make very good holsters and the prces are hard to beat.

"Nice" can mean lots of things. For utility it's tough to beat the Bianchi Cyclone others have mentioned. The belt slots provide for strong-side and cross-draw, the holster is lined and has an open muzzle so water/debris falls through or can be cleaned out.
I have a Galco DAO and a Bianchi Phoenix and prefer the Galco, the snap on the Phoenix wants to scratch the cylinder when I draw the gun....Hb


Yeah, noticed that can happen...I put a piece of thin porous surgical tape over the snap. Does NOT interfere with the closing of the snap and is easily replaced.
