Looking for "best" LCR 357 holsters

[4MUL8R]

I realize "best" can be entirely subjective. But, after perusing the eBay offerings, I wonder what might be at least "better." Images of holsters supposedly fitting the LCR show hammer thong loops or thumbreaks, neither of which appear to be useful on this hammerless design.

I am looking for two holsters. IWB, possibly tuckable, hopefully one that stays open when revolver is removed, and one for which the belt anchor method is truly secure. Most importantly, the revolver would be retained such that when repeatedly standing and sitting the compression of the belt and hip around the weapon won't squirt the revolver out onto the floor. OWB, good conformation to my hip, full muzzle coverage, stays open.

Thanks in advance for recommendations and guidance.

Everyone has an opinion and a favorite...mine are Don Hume IWB holster and the LCR Mitch Rosen OWB holster. Both are comfortable and very concealable.

DeSantis 001 M3. It's an on the belt holster with a thumb snap. Nice fit and rides tight and high. Not too pricy.

Ditto.

Also use a Clament cross draw for riding in the car. No retention strap but the fit is excellent and won't fall out.

Does anyone know if the Uncle Mike's HiddenHammer Super Beltslide holster 6340-1 would hold the LCR? It is supposed to have some trigger guard retention device and a strap. http://unclemikes.com/products/hidden_hammer_holsters.html

For OWB I ordered a Lobo Enhanced Pancake with Inner Hammer Shield. I included instructions for Ray to NOT Bone the cylinder flutes. The reason for this was the holster would also carry my LCR-22.
The Optional Inner Hammer Shield is a $5 option. This small piece of leather helps to keeps your shirt tail out of your holster when reholstering. I have it on all 8 of my Lobo Pancakes.

Ray also made up a Flap Holster for the LCR-357 for the wife when she is horse back riding. If you need a Very Secure holster for the LCR, S&W 442, S&W 638 or other hammerless revolver this is a very good choice.

Ray also makes an Inside the waist band holster. My brother has one for his S&W 637 and likes it just fine. I do not own one however. I carry all my revolvers OWB at 4 O'Clock on the belt.

I have two Simply Ruggeds for my LCR and my SP101s. (they both work in the same holster) One with the straps for IWB carry, and one without for on the belt or cross draw. One would do it if you don't mind removing the straps. The gun WILL NOT fall out, muzzle and trigger covered (except with my 3" SP101 327 and it sticks out the bottom about 1/2") and very comfy. You can get it with a strap over the gun too if you want it that way, but I don't think it is needed. They are VERY versatile.

I also have a Don Hume IWB since you asked about one that stays open with the gun out. It does that, but the Simply Rugged is FAR more comfortable to wear even though it looks big.

Mitch Rosen Pancake (can be had on the RugerStore site with "Ruger Emblem"), or the Simply Rugged Silver Dollar for OWB-SRSD can be used IWB too. BladeTech UHC in Kydex for IWB or one of my favorites-"Remora" is simply remarkable.
