I just picked up a Taurus 650 Cia 357. in SS. I have been looking at several
sites and can't seem to find one for this model. It is the hammerless and
similar to an 85.

I would like a leather owb with a 3 slot so I could wear it with a cant if
possible or I looked a fobus but they don't seem to have one for this model.

I have googled it to death and either I am blind or not a lot of holsters out
there for this gun yet.

Thanks,

Tim

Hey Tim, I see this is a fairly old post, so I'm hoping you've found a holster. I have the 850, the .38 spl version of that gun in blue. I have been looking all over hell's backyard for a good OC holster for it, preferably a retention holster. Have you found anything?

I ended up ordering a Don Hume Open Top Belt Holster H721 OT. I got it in Black and
found it online at gunnersalley.com for 40.00 plus shipping. The reason I did was the owner emailed me back with a few holsters pictures and all was one of the few online vendors who actually took the time to answer me.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Tim. I looked up that holster, and it looks like a nice one, something I would CC with. I've actually considered a holster much like that. I ended up finding one by Galco with a thumb break retention strap. It's a high ride holster, and it doesn't fit well with my orangutan arms, but so far it's the only one i've found that fits most of what I want. It's the F.L.E.T.C.H. High Ride Belt Holster. It's nice, and I'll be more comfortable carrying openly with some sort of retention. Thanks for the response, and carry on!
