Suggestions on a carry holster for SAA? O think I want to do IWB cross draw or just plain IWB right side.

SUGGESTIONS? thanks

That is a lot of gun to holster inside a waistband. I wonder if you would be disappointed, even if there was such a holster. I have an OWB and an El Paso Tanker shoulder holster for a 5.5" 45 Colt. I also have a couple of OWB crossdraws. The one that is not cowboy style is by CME. I have their crossdraw for a number of guns and recommend it as holding a gun close and comfortable enough. The champ in crossdraw revolver though is an El Paso Tom Threepersons for a 44 Mag 6" Bisley or a similar Bisley in 41 Magnum. Wearing it is only in theory, because I don't do woods walks or open carry. It is a little like owning guns you don't shoot.
 
I carry a Single Action almost daily, calling my Ruger my "American Express Gun", as I never leave home without it.

I break all of the rules, but since its my hide I'm looking after, I figure I can do that. Here is my preferred carry:

If, and when I need to go to work in a hurry, I brush aside my vest/jacket with my elbow. My hand just naturally falls on the gun butt. My thumb goes to the hammer spur and my finger goes to the trigger. I lift the gun clear of leather, cocking the hammer as I do so. As the gun comes level, I press the trigger.

Since this is my practiced draw, cross draw holsters are out for me, as I cannot find the hammer spur positiviely enough. And the holster must not be too high nor have too much forward rake. Too much forward cant, or rake, does not permit my thumb to get a firm purchase on the hammer spur.

My thoughts, my practice.

I’ve carried all kinda crazy large guns IWB. Just use to it I guest.
 
I don't like alot of leather in a concealed holster and cross draw is the bomb in a vehicle
I was a Uber Driver in Seattle for 4 years full time and some. The crazy things I’ve seen. Anyways, I was always getting in and out my car, and I carried Pocket Left side and left hand draw, even tho I was right handed. I did not want to print in my right pocket.

I think more people will start carrying SAA, once they figure out how cool it is and being a cowboy is making a come back.
