4” N Frame Holster Recommendations

If you don't mind paying a bit more and waiting a little longer, I'd strongly consider getting a custom holster made. Much sexier than off the shelf stuff and you can personalize it.
Quite a few good outfits easily found on the web that can make one to your specs.

I’m not against it, but want to make sure this thing is a keeper first. It hasn’t even made it to my FFL yet, so once I get the first 500 rounds through it, I’ll decide.

That is a good suggestion. @WNC2500 has a brother that makes some darn nice looking holsters.
 
I have a leather Azula 2 slot pancake holster that was around $60. It holds my 629 4" well and is comfortable. The fit is a little loose when off a belt, but pulls in tight and holds the revolver secure when worn. While not the most beautiful holster in the world, I think it's been a great value foe me.
 
With large revolvers I want a stiffer holster. I have gone to all custom stuff from Nixon Leather. I just grabbed the first appropriate picture off his FB page. He has a bunch of options. IMG_9171.jpeg
 
I agree with the suggestions of a custom-made holster. Maybe see if there’s anyone locally who does leather work. My cousin does a bit of leather work and has made holsters for most of the handguns I’ve owned.
He just made this one for me with a bit of a drop to hang just below the hip belt of my backpack.

I have used a few but my favorite for a revolver is a reversible strong/crossdraw Galco Phoenix. Clean lines and retention and I love the crossdraw option.

Second place: Rob’s own Sourdough Pancake. I use one with a GP100 3”. Much better pricetag…I’m not as fond of how it works crossdraw compared to the Phoenix, but it does work.
 
Ok, I actually have it in my possession after a Gunbroker dealing from hell. It only took 28 days to make it to me. There was two weeks where I thought it was lost and I wasn’t going to get it. Now I can commence holster shopping.

Here it is, in all its glory, crappy picture in the house until I can get it out to shoot later this week.IMG_6478.jpeg
 
I have two Diamond D chest rigs. 7 1/2" RH and 7 1/2 BH.
Quality stuff.

For belt rigs, I usually stitch up my own. Not much to it.

I really like the IWB for my P12-45. I got it through The Holster Company. Sadly, they no longer show up in a Google search.
