I’ve been considering a JIT design because a lot of people speak highly of it, particularly for revolver use. I have the 6 (ish) inch barrel on mine.
Does the shape of it tend to catch things, or block shirts and jackets from easily being swept away ? What’s it like to own this thing?
Also, to ALL : Thank you for the recommendations. I have a feeling I’ll be reading your links in more time than it takes to post them. I’m checking out each of your ideas, and there are a few that I really like so far. Things I wouldn’t normally bump into.

Well, with the long barrel on your revolver, I think it would be a case of try and see. I carry snub nose revolvers mainly in mine. I have a ton of these small holsters for different guns of mine, both revolvers and autos. They are only 25 bucks, so I'm not out all that much if I don't like it.
I've used JITs for guns like my 642, Makarovs, and some older Smith autos. I actually carried a Ruger GP100 3-inch revolver in one just to see how it would fare. With a flannel shirt as a cover garment, it was okay...but the heavy GP100 in the tiny holster pulled away from my body a little. I'm not big at all (5'8"), but it didn't print much at all under my cover garment.
The big plus of these holsters are how easy they are to just put on your belt and go. In my experience, they don't catch on your garment. Are they a perfect solution? No, but they are passable.
