No offense but I wouldn’t visit your grandmother unless I had my hat in my hands, my hands in PLAIN sight, and a completely cheerful disposition.
The grandma bit is weak.
I have a Smith & Wesson Model 60 1.875 inches .357. It’s a great mouse gun; the critters are unlikely to run far after a hit to the body. I’m afraid I can no longer read the label on my dad’s old pocket holster, so I’m not much help.
I would advise that Grandma practice drawing from any holster. I practice several times a day. Whenever I close my bathroom door, I draw and then re-holster (a much slower process) whatever mouse gun I may be carrying before taking care of business. I have no fondness for vermin that spread disease and other issues, and I want to make sure I can deal with pests before they spread rabies or other unwanted conditions.
Maybe she can knit one?
Not certain about the 60/3” specifically, but I really love me Blackhawk sort or SERPA holsters. Can be belt worn or paddle, I prefer the paddle for easy on/off. Grandma may need a good belt though.
The sport me del is friction retention and can require a bit of sturdiness regarding belt/ holster and body interface, while the SERPA while having a friction adjustment, can be tuned to rely solely on the release lock. A simple press with shooting index finger releases the weapon and easy draw from there. Both can be tilted fire/aft to accommodate pretty much all preferences. Can be adjusted for belts from 1” to 2”.
Not expensive but we’ll worth the $30-65.
Watch out for those kitchen mice, I hear that they charge when wounded or cornered... .
Check out MASC holsters on Amazon. VERY similar to the much more expensive Galco holsters. MASC is Turkish. Galco is American. However, Galco has been price gouging. A simple $120 Miami Classic that was $120 is now $290. MASC, $120 as expected.

Maybe Grandma could go Mexican carry?
Did she cut off their tail with a carving knife?
First off, I would suggest changing weapons. It sounds like a S&W 500 is more her style. Then get a holster.
Gunning for that reindeer is she?
Check out purse holsters. I have known quite a few women cops who carry that way, and one even killed a robbery suspect at an ATM, shooting through the purse.

My husband’s grandma wanted a new shotgun to shoot garden pests. Uncle said, “no way, she will end up shooting one of us.” So no gun.
She was from southern Indiana, and a great shot even in her old age.

It’s hard to find holsters for a 3” Model 60. I have a Bianchi No.7 pancake holster for mine, and it conceals well under an untucked shirt or under a jacket. Not sure of that works for Grandma’s wardrobe.
First off, grind the hammer spur down to a point where it won’t snag on clothing...still be plenty enough mass to make the cartridge go BANG and enough to grip for cocking to single action.
Then think about where (on the body) “Granny” wants to carry, THEN consider a best fit holster.
“Granny” shoulda got a Charter Arms .44Special “Bulldog”
variant w/3” barrel & “bobbed” hammer (also available as a swap out). Maybe next time.
Yer welcome.
