    I've always gone Bianchi but that was a long time ago.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    I carried a Cougar 6" in a custom Hoyt breakfront holster in a barrel forward cant, so that it was comfortable sitting in a car.

    The regular breakfront holsters of the day if I remember put the revolvers cylinder about at the gun belt line. My grips were just slightly above the gun belt line, but with the barrel forward cant which was not a huge cant made the holster really comfortable in the car. It also made it harder for a gun grab using the methods that was being taught in prison for front break holsters.

    I still have that revolver and the holster is someplace in storage.

    Not my image, but this one with my trusty model 66 .357.



    High ride forward cant. As yoni says, it was comfortable in the car and the high ride made it easier to tuck and defend it in case someone turd tried to disarm you. Two speedloaders on the belt and you waded into the crisis of the day with a total of 18 rounds on you to take care of business or extricate yourself. No "spray and pray" back then.

    My first department issued a pretty secent Bucheimer security holster. (The Bucheimer factory was in town and they made holsters to fit our five-inch barrel weapons.) When I went to the department I spent most of my little-stored career at, I was issued high gloss death from behind holsters, the first with an index finger release. I went to the slightly faster thumb break version.

    I eventually purchased a Bianchi Hurricane to replace the department issue garbage. When the Hurricane wore out, I went a similar holster (G&G perhaps?) that the department by then issued. I wore that until the transition to the 226.

    Back in the bad old says, the agency had as much standardization as the crew of a pirate ship. A contemporary somehow obtained a swivel holster. On one occasion, I watched him sit in a chair with arms that rotated the holster to point at his armpit. He abandoned his fascination with all things of the "Felony Squad"/"Highway Patrol" era when his revolver bounced across a kitchen floor during a fight with a threatened suicide, I also recall a firearms instructor who favored a high gloss crossdraw for patrol. That ended when he returned to duty after shooting himself in the hand cleaning a gun.
