I finally found a Detective Special (second issue) 2" bbl, and would like to get a leather belt and holster for it to carry concealed while in the woods/mountains. I do not expect to use it in town at all. I have never carried before, and am looking into different options.
FIST seems to have a reasonably priced leather set up with a 1.25" belt and a hand-boned pancake style holster for about $130, though they are currently running a special for a slightly different pancake holster and 1.5" belt for $99.95.
I have seen FIST products and they look well made. I have also seen Bianchi and Galco leather holsters, and they seemed ok, too.
I know holster choice is as personal as gun choice, but then again, you guys convinced me to get a Dick Special over an S&W. What say you on this?
Also, does belt width matter at all assuming one is comparing similar holster belts? (i.e. 1.25" vs. 1.5" width)
Thanks.
