In the bush, flap holsters are the way to go. For my 7.5" Super Redhawk I use a Mernickle horsehide flap. It was supposed to be a slight right hand cross draw so that I can reach it with either hand in case the bear has me down on the ground (I used to work 200 days a year in remote Canadian fly in bush/tundra, we see a lot of bears). He made it vertical but it's still OK on the left hip, I've moved my speed loaders and bear spray on to the right side of the rig.
For more normal sized guns, I use an old Uncle Mike's No. 3 with the detachable velcro flap with the snap closure. Works great for 4" revolvers, 5" pistols like G17, 1911, Tokarev and they stay clean.
Another option to keep your gun clean and dry is a vertical shoulder holster. I find the higher the gun is carried on my body, the drier it keeps in the bush. In rainy conditions I carry the SRH in an Uncle Mikes shoulder holster.
