I'm with Gregg and Whit,
...
I too carry my Blackhawk in a comparatively inexpensive leather Hunter model 2400 series cross draw. It is slightly modified by myself to sling across my chest and torso by a very comfortable padded strap that once was attached to a carry-on luggage bag....
Perfect! I found this holster on Sportsman's Guide for $27. This is really what I am looking for for a few of reasons.
1. It's leather, so it's quieter. The cordura holsters are tough and padded, but they are noisy drawing and noisy if you are in the brush. "SWIIIIIIIIISH"
2. Retention strap, which is what I was really looking for to begin with.
3. Crossdraw
seems better for a more natural sitting/kneeling carry. Am I right?
4. I like the idea of adding a quick-disconnect neoprene and cordura neck/shoulder strap setup I use on a very heavy Nikon F5 camera. The camera and revolver weigh about the same, especially when a 180 mm lens is attached to the camera.
