Default can't find a holster

I'm looking for a LH cross draw holster for a Ruger Wrangler 3.5" barrel in brown leather but can't find one anywhere. Anyone have any ideas without going a custom route and paying $$$$$$?

Try here, I found just what I want for my Kahr MK 40. The price was not outrageous.

I dunno if they have what you want but the Ruger factory holsters are nice and not badly priced.

Where Oldtimr??? no link

Jake and Hunter's neither of them have what I want. I'm looking for a western style cross draw (LH) for a 3.75" birdshead Wrangler to go along with my LH Belt/holster rig. Brown would be preferred but I'll take black if I must. I'd even go for a western style shoulder holster for it.
It sucks being a southpaw when it comes to holsters.

Hey everyone thanks for helping but I found one. Just what I was looking for. Old fashion cut in a LH cross draw. Just like the old "real" cowboys wore - not those fancy fast draw rigs!
Once I get it I'll use an old trick I found. Put the revolver in a plastic bag, dip the holster in hot water for about 15 seconds then remove it and insert the holster and work it with your hands and fingers until it molds to the gun. Then it will stiffen up and will fit your revolver perfectly.

Tell me about it. I bought a nylon Uncle Mike's shoulder holster for my 1911, and my son-in-law and other USMC buddies, helped me take it all apart, and flip it around backwards (lefthanded), redo the straps, threaded back through the other direction, etc... and made it work.

That might be an idea to look into....

This is what I got. An old authentic look. Simple but functional. I'll likely remove the star if it doesn't leave too big a hole in the leather.
