Just purchased the 1708 3", now to await it's arrival. This is just after getting the 5". I think I am set on GPs for a while.
Now the quest for a 3" OWB holster. I have been looking for quite a while; even before I purchased the 3". Simply Rugged is at the top so far.

Congratulations, I usually shop ebay on most all of my holsters. There is always a ton to pick fron and I can always find the style I am looking for.

My current quest with 3 inch revolvers has been filled up for quite awhile!!! Currently 2 Ruger SP101's a .38 Special & a .327FM. I would love to find a 1708 or a 1751 or a WC. But all of these fine revolvers new are in the $600.oo range way way too much for me!!! I had to sell a rifle to get the needed funds for the new SP101 .327 FM but time will tell!!!

Congrats on a great revolver. I use a Bianchi 111 cyclone. It can be worn strong side or cross draw

Congrats. I don't have a holster for my 1708 yet but I've also looked at the Simply Rugged and I think that would be it.

I've got the 3" Wiley clapp, 1752. It's been riding in a simply rugged since I got it. It is a very high quality holster

I think that's a very sound choice, especially if you'll carry a rifle on your right shoulder while hunting. The holster works well as a crossdraw then.

I looked at the link to the Midway ad, but don't think the holster shown is a Model 111. But one can Search for pics.

I'll 2nd the Bianchi Cyclone 111. Best price I've found has been $54.98 (including shipping) at http://www.amazon.com/Bianchi-Cyclo...D27M/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2E5C2HK3FW5PT

I found a picture of the Bianchi Cyclone surfing this forum. It looks pretty good.

The El Paso is good but the trigger is exposed on the low ride field carry.

The Catleman Simply Rugged looks pretty good.

I like my Simply Rugged for the SP101. Think it would be great for the GP as well.

Don't know exactly how you will wear it but I use a Galco Combat Master, rides high, tight and easy to draw from. Conceals very well.

One advantage to the Simply Rugged is the optional straps that allow you to carry Inside Waist Band, and then that big revolver is very difficult to see.
