I normally carry a J-Frame with .357 mags when working around the house. And I have a Uncle Mikes soft IWB holster that has worked well for me. BUT, I've read a number of incidents where the soft material has allowed for foreign object to work their way to the trigger and cause a ND.
I'm look for a hard holster, leather or Kydex, with a single belt clip. I've tried "tucks" and they don't work for me. My choices are limited because I have a 3" M60, not the normal 1-7/8 to 2-1/8 that are so much more prevalent.
One I found is from DFW Holsters. Amazingly, it's cheaper to order direct than from Amazon. So I ordered one today. $39.99, no-tax & free shipping. Anybody with experience with DFW?

have you tried a galco carry light? i use one for my colt detective when its not in the back pocket.

I have an Uncle Mike's and a Galco. I prefer the Uncle Mike's for in my pocket with this gun. The Galco allows items to get in as well, and this is why We do not carry anything in the pocket with the gun.
The most recent Uncle Mike's issue has happened with many products, including leather, kydex, and leather/kydex combos. The guy got his shirt tail tucked in the holster while reholstering. Personal error cannot be blamed on a product. Well, it can, but ...

While I do agree on this point, I will also submit that on some of my old flimsy Uncle Mikes from years back (the reason I tossed them is because they were made of such a soft material) the trigger could be manipulated through the material itself.

Check out FIST Holsters. They can/will make just about anything you want.

Simply Rugged....I carry a Model 60 in one almost every day . Great IWB.

Also take a look at Tucker Gun Leather, their Cover-Up series of IWB, that I really like.

Like the Tucker. Have put it on the "buy" list for the future.

Got the DFW holster and have worn it for the past week.
It's great for around the house. I'm not terribly concerned with concealment when I'm working around the house. As I've said before, I wear this Inside The Belt, not the waist band. I like the easy of putting it on and taking it off and having the belt hold it close to my body. I always have my shirt tail out, so it's mostly covered. I like how the gun sits deep in the holster. Here's a picture of it with my outer shirt off. For a $35 Kyodex it is a great buy.
