I just got one for a S&W 60 from RJ Hedley. His are top quality, and reasonable priced. Check out his site at http://hedleyholsters.com/

Pocket holsters are an extremely easy home project.
Suggested materials are some felt fabric and button thread. Decide on 2- or 3-layer thickness. Wrap the gun as you see fit, staple to hold, stitch to fit. Trim and whip-stitch if you prefer. Felt material is great, since it resists movement in pocket and exhibits very low friction against metal. Cheap and inexpensive. Holster wear negligible. An evening project while watching TV.

Don't know if he makes it for your model but Scott McDougal has a fine pocket holster. Been using it for 2 years now and best money I've spent on holsters.

I just ordered a new Uncle Mikes IWB clip holster for my 442 from warner's. 10 bucks and still the best IWB for a light snubbie I've seen...also, it doesn't wear on the finish....

Ken Null makes a pocket holster for the 1 7/8" 317. He may make one for the 3".
