Your thoughts on the scoped holster,the specs on barrel length say 7.5 inches but, the bottom of the holster is open and looks like a longer barreled revolver, say 10" would fit, what do you think?

You could rig it ti work for sure i think. Ive got 3 of them

I called Galco yesterday, and was informed it will not work, James has a rig that I like, the Bandito, I think this is the direction I want to go.

Galco is going to give you the safe, liability free, cover your tail answer and say that it will only work for the specific gun the holster was made for. It does not mean that it won't work...
