What brand is the holster?
It is made by Triple M Leather out of Michigan. I bought the holster and very heavy-duty gun belt at a gun show in Ft. Wayne In., for $150.
Come put your snubbies to the test! There’s still plenty of room.

Nobody wants to come out and put their snubbies to the test?
Very well said and I must concur. You've mirrored my views to a T. Thanks.I've put mine to the test. It worked.
Playing games isn't where things are proven in the real world. The real world is. I've stayed out of the thread because I don't want to clutter up Coach's thread and what he's doing is worth doing. It gives people a place to practice and move, facilities a lot of the population doesn't have routine access to. That said, the notion that it somehow proves or disproves what works in the real world is flawed.
Games don't test the majority of what causes wins or losses in gun fights. Pure shooting ability is fantastic, but hits diminishing returns pretty early on. The ability to see trouble coming, the ability to ambush or counter-ambush, and using speed, surprise, and ferocity of attack wins fights. Realistic force on force is as close to recreating that as you can get without being in real gunfights, but even that lacks the body language cues, social dynamics, etc.
Snubbies aren't ideal, but they are viable. If you want to "prove" otherwise, show me the dead guys with snubbies in their hands, and that there's a statistical difference in avoiding injury. Because I sure haven't observed one.
I needed a gun while jogging. How many "I always carry a duty sized gun" run with one? How many harping on how lousy they are go unarmed in an NPE? Duty size gun that you can't conceal so you leave it in the car or at home? That active shooter starts up, would you rather hold your classroom door with a .38 you smuggled in your jock strap or, what, a stapler in a sock because your "real guns" are locked in your car?
I carry a duty sized pistol when outside the house nearly 100% of the time. Since my neck is getting to the point I can actually jog again, that'll go down some. But I'm not particularly worried because I do know my own skill level and what's required to win a gunfight. Sure, I could lose. Luck plays a role. Some a-hole I've locked up could recognize me and run me over before I even know they are there. But it lets me have a gun, and one that is quite viable if the fighter does their part. If you want to compare "real world" resumes or research, I'm game.
I recently bought a 2 inch snub revolver after selling one to my brother years ago. Was wondering how you all carried with these pistols. I have a cheap ankle holster that allows the tip to tuck in to a boot for support, and it's not horrible to carry. Does anyone use IWB?
The revolver does have a hammer.

Out of curiosity, have you chrono'd those from the LCR? Since they are marketed for lever actions, I'd wondered if they had a slower burning powder for longer barrels.

You can put your dick away, I’m not here to take any measurements.
We must be mistaken. Surely no one develops this level of confidence without real world testing.
I KNOW I can’t hit **** on the move with a snub-nose revolver much past contact distance. I know because I’ve tried. Maybe you can. I suspect far more think they can than know.
I got this one not long ago.... It goes along for the ride somewhat regularly.
