OntyQuiet holster 5.5 Bisley
Some time ago I purchased nylon holster for my 5.5 Bisley (44 Magnum). Since I worked at that time in remote area, I had to order it by mail. Holster is OK in all respects except one; the strap is secured with snap button that is quite audible when strap is pulled.
Since I am going to carry this revolver as a backup on wild boar hunt in Europe, I would need more appropriate holster than one I have now.
Is any nylon holster on the market with strap secured in such way that does not make any sound when strap is pulled up to withdraw revolver? Ideal would be some kind of spring loaded snapping device that I can quietly release by pulling or pressing it.
Thanks!

MS HitmanYou can use an awl to make a small hole on the body side of the holster near the front, then use a boot lace to make a loop that can be used to secure the revolver in the holster.

Ken ONeillYep. Make a hammer thong as Ms Hitman suggests, then cut off the existing strap. Of course, you'll be left with the snap showing, but it won't hurt anything.

MS HitmanNo reason not to just tuck the strap back out of the way and use it as he sees fit.
