suggestions for a holster

I just bought a model 629 smith with a 3 inch barrel. I want a nice leather holster(barrel enclosed)for hunting. I have a Bianchi for my 686 .357 but the end is not enclosed. I want the barrel end closed because I will be carrying this when I am bear hunting and don't want dirt etc in. I have searched my usual spots and so far found nothing like I want. Any help would be appreciated.

    For the M29 6" I use an Uncle Mikes bandoleer style, but the barrel is longer than yours and it is also adapted for a scope, so they may not make anything that would fit.

    I made the holster for my Jet. It is fully lined and flapped. With the alice clips it fits a military pistol belt. I left the barrel open for dirt and water to get out.

    I carry my 10 5/8 barrel 29's in Uncle Mikes Shoulder rigs. I have 3 of them. One of these days I'll make a brace carry and still have my single under the left arm.

    One of the front carry shoulder (chest carry) rigs might be worth looking at. http://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I always carried my 44,s in a bandolier holster.

    Try Trinity Scrimshaw on the dark side and see if he could make you one.

    For a chest rig look at Diamond D Leather out of AK. Solid chest rigs.
