New holster

My wife has a Ladysmith mod 60 with a 3" bbl, she's looking for a good OWB leather holster any ideas? She carries it in a holster shoulder bag now but she wants something a bit faster. She's 5' 4" and 125lbs with a CCW permit.

I also have a 3" model 60, not sure about the lady smith but mine has adjustable sites. So if you are buying a holster meant for the 2" model 60 remember the 2" does not have adjustable sites, so the 3" may not fit it. I made this mistake and had to use an exacto blade to cut a slot out for the sites.

By the way if you are wondering I carry with a Barami Hip Grip with Tyler T adapter. After spending hundreds on different holsters I realized nothing carries more discretely than the hip grip. No more dressing around my big bulky holster, you can wear absolutely anything when using the hip grip. Its not the most comfortable carry option but I dont even realize its there anymore. Anways you know what they say, guns are meant to be comforting not comfortable.

Without the T-grip adapter the grips are a handful to shoot with. But surprisingly once I got the T-Grip adapter I shot better groups than I did with the rubber factory grips.

My wife says "sweet pistol"


The "ouch" was about the "hip grip", as for the T-Grip, she has bigger hands than I do, and I'm a farrier

She's a horse vet

I have a Model 60 with a 3" barrel that I carry OWB in a Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake. It has three belt loops so you can carry strong side, or cross draw. You can even order it with IWB loops if you want. Very simple, yet versitile holster. His wait time is only 2 -4 weeks too!
