One of the downsides to collecting old Smith hammer guns is the lack of modern holster support. For EDC, Don Hume is a good source for leather. Duty style holsters can be a bit more problematic. I am lucky in that I have some excellent condition Safariland 070 holsters.
I recently came across some police trade in SLS holsters for the big 4506/1006 series pistols. For 15 bucks, I took a chance. These are definitely used but still quite serviceable. These are earlier designs and the SLS lever is augmented by a locking thumb tab. After playing with the tension a bit, I find it is quite serviceable still.
