I recently purchased a FA 454 with 7.5" barrel. I' ve been working up practice loads and hunting loads for it with good success. Now it' s time to consider a holster for it. I' ve read a few articles on various holsters but I still have no idea what I need. I have not developed a preference for either strong side or cross draw. My only experience with holsters is an Uncle Mike holster that I have for my .44mag. It' s no great shakes. I' ll want to focus on mobility (climbing into tree stands, over logs, up hills, etc...). I want the material to be leather (for aesthetics). I will not be adding a scope to the pistol any time soon. I looked at the holsters on the FA website. They have a lot of unlined holsters. What' s up with that? Do you need a liner to keep the gun from getting scuffed? I don' t want a lot of frilly scroll work or design on the holster. I' m willing to pay up to $100. Suggestions please! Pros and cons of the various designs and options would be immensely appreciated!
