Searching for a holster, any recommendations?
I want to start carrying my Taurus 605 .357 Magnum with 2" barrel as a concealed carry weapon. I would prefer a leather IWB holster over nylon for the durability. Have looked at Galco, Bianchi, Uncle Mike's and Desantis and didn't see anything that seemed to suffice. Any suggestions on other manufacturers or recommendations from those of you that carry similar-sized revolvers?

I've been very pleased with my Thunderwear. I don't know what others think about it as a holster, but when your regular outfit doesn't allow for belt or shoulder concealment, it works great.

I've carried my J-frame snubbie in it without any problems.0 -
I love the Bianchi vertical shoulder rig for anything from 2" to 8"; IWB is not comfortable for me. 0 -

Hello "Glock23expert"[:)]
I have a S&W model 637-2 with the red lazer built into the grips. I intend to use it as my CCW firearm. Right now it has been on my side of the headboard of our bed.
One of the best companies I know of is Andrews Leather in Alachua, Florida. But all of their holsters are leather. There is a company in Lake City, Florida that makes nylon holsters. I don't remember their name at the moment, but I can call the Chamber of Commerce and get their information if you would like me to.
Best of luck on finding a holster that fits you well[8D]

Mitch Rosen's the "Workman" is what you're looking for.http://www.mitchrosen.com/product_line/holsters/inside_waistband/body_inside_waistband.html
It's the last one on that page. Nicest thing I've seen for IWB carry for a snubby, and tuckable as well.
As a side note, IWB carry of a snub is not exactly the most comfortable way to pack. I carry a Smith 340sc as my CCW piece. Most of the year it's in a pocket holster, and in winter I usually go OWB in either a Bob Mernickle rig or a Wild Bill's with a windshirt or other cover.
Best,

take another look at Desantis "tuck this" holster. I've been carrying an XD in it every day for a couple years now. no wear yet.
Crap I just noticed you're wanting to carry a revolver, not a Glock 23. You're on your own.0 -

I'm 5'8" or so, 145#, so it won't be difficult for me to carry a snubbie IWB, but inside the pocket is definitely out.0 -
cce- I am sorry that you are being forced to carry a Clock.

I have some High Noon holsters (IWB) that I use all the time. They are comfortable, fit the gun well, and are reasonably priced. Go to:

I'll second that. I carry a 1911 in one of his tuckable holsters and his bullhide velcro-lined gun belts. I'm extremely pleased with it.0 -

No, I carry an XD and like it. I too would be sorry to carry a Clock (or Glock, for that matter).0 -
