Holster for BFR with tall front sight?

Have any of you found a good holster that will fit the BFR with the extra high front sight?
My favorite holsters are from EJH Sadle, but they stopped making holsters

The extra high fiber optic sight is cutting a groove in the top of my holsters. I just ordered a Triple K and it is the same. I emailed Galco about the SAO and they said it wouldn't fit. I do have some Nylon holsters, but would like a good leather one. Barranti leather isn't accepting any new orders...
I'm looking at a Bianchi Flap Holster, it looks like it might fit if I get one for a longer barrel length, my 500 JRH has a 5 1/4" bbl.

tradmark, do you mind me asking what that holster costs?

I may have to get one.

It looks like it's $150.

I ordered one and it came in today.
It's a great looking holster, but...
It doesn't fit

I don't know if it's just the fiber optic front sight or what, but I'm abit dissapointed.
