I have a Model 29 w/5 inch barrel that I was going to sell or trade until I shot a box of rounds through it. Now I'm looking for a good side carry holster.
I can't seem to find anything for a 5 inch barrel. There are a lot of 6-61/2 inch holsters out there.
Why carry a holster 2 inchs longer than the gun? Any recommendations?
