Hi everyone,

I just picked up a new Smith model 360 (j-frame). I plan to use this for my carry weapon, but am having a hard time choosing a holster.

Ultimately, I would like an OWB holster, right hand side, and leather. I have seen holsters that have a thumb break, and have seen holsters without any type of obvious retention. What should I go with???

Are the types without a thumb break a safe way of carrying? Would you recommend a pancake type of something else. What manufacturers are good for this type of thing. I would like to keepmy budget under $100.

Thanks
