Blackhawk - short or long barrel

[Conax]

So, I ordered the Blackhawk 357/9mm 6.5" today, may be here by the end of the week. I hate waiting but with my CCP I can pick it up as soon as it comes in.

Now I have to find a decent holster. Not sure if I want just a holster or a full cowboy rig. Just looking around a bit and found this, looks decent and is not too expensive at under $200 if I decide to go full cowboy.

Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

I got a deal on an old .44 Blackhawk from a rancher in Utah. He threw in a beeyootiful, worn smooth western rig for it that it had been carried in for years. He and I were both left handed, so it was almost a miracle.
I strutted around looking all authentic in that rig. The gun was smiling, being in its rightful place.
Maybe a trip to your local gunshow would be an idea.. A well worn rig that fits your gun (Rugers will fit in almost any of them) could be had for a lot less money and look soo classy since it's not all stiff and new.
That's where I would start to find some servicable leather at a fair price.
Nice gun!
I liked my old .357 Ruger but it was just a 4". I carried it crossdraw on the off side.

I had these holster made in a vintage pattern for my 44-40 and use them for 16 year in cowboy action shooting .

Congrats, good luck with your new Blackhawk. I think you will love it.
I have the Lipsey's Flattop 5.5 barrel and its an awesome revolver in both .357 and 9mm.

Ordered this holster today, saw some for less $ but I really like the looks of this one. Maybe I'll get the matching cartridge belt next year. I've already gone over my gun and gun accessories budget for this year.
