I have several Simply Rugged holsters, and I pretty happy with them. It's tough to make a strap work on a DOA, but the Simply Rugged covers the trigger and holds the gun in place. I haven't tried a hand stand, and as the old saying goes I'm to old to fight, and to fat to run, but I've never had a problem with my gun and I wear one everyday. I do NOT have any DOA guns, I like my guns to have an exposed hammer on them. If yours does, they do have a strap that you can use or take off as appropriate. I would say they offer tan, black and Ox blood (which costs extra and apparently takes quite a while to dry) so I typically go with the tan. There is a local guy here that doesn't do holsters full time but what I've gotten from him are excellent. Probably only 4-5 holsters. I prefer the Askins Avenger style and he does a good job with that.
