Cardini Leather Premium IWB Holster, for 5-Shot Revolvers, for S&W J Frame, for Taurus 605, 642 airweight, 38 Special Holster

Great holster perfect Fit highly carryable very easy to use thickness of the leather is perfect carrying capacity is excellent

This little holster is definitely worth the money... When I first got it, it was a little stiff, I'll admit it. But I simply shoved my Taurus 605 in it, let the leather mold to it, and it was like it was almost made just for my revolver. It still has a good grip of course, but it doesn't feel like I'm yanking my arm out trying to draw it out. It's so soft as well! I've had a different poly holster before, but the hard plastic is hell on your side after it presses on it all day. Leather is definitely the way to go when it comes to all day carrying and I believe it now... The retention clip on it is quite tight, you'll be surprised how tough that little bit of metal is. Lastly it JUST SMELLS SO GOOD. Something about genuine leather that has that certain smell MMMM. It's good stuff, you don't smell like a plastic factory with it. Tldr: Good holster for your money, soft, easy to conceal, takes other snubs, nice smell

I am a big man and have been looking for a comfortable concealed carry holster configurations until I came upon this holster and appendix carry position. This is a very well made leather holster with a strong spring steel belt clip that securely holds the holster to your pants and belt. The holster is precisely fitted so once the firearm is in it it holds it like a glove until you remove it. I find I can comfortably wear this holster and my S&W 36 all day appendix carry position totally concealed and in total comfort. This holster is of excellent quality and an excellent value for the money . I own several .

All in all this is a nice holster. I'm using it to conceal carry a S&W 37 Airweight and it's a perfect fit with excellent retention. The leather isn't quite as thick as my old Bianchi, but it's more than sufficient. Construction seems to be solid and it has a metal clip rather than plastic. The interior is lined with a nylon appearing material which will hopefully hold up over the long term. Inserting the gun into the holster once it's on your belt pretty much requires two hands as the holster collapses when the gun is drawn, but since I don't typically draw a gun once I'm wearing the rig that's not an issue for me. When I wear it with the Airweight I pretty much forget I have it on. The only reason I give it 4 rather than 5 stars is the clip. Twice I bent / squatted down and had the clip start to slide up and off my belt. I'd be a little careful with it if you're being physically active. For normal activities, it's fine.

Received holster for a S&W model 36 about a week ago. Looks and feels like high quality leather and the stitching is excellent. The fit is great and is very comfortable carrying AIWB. I imagine it will get more comfortable as it gets more broken in. Very pleased so far.

Great quality holster, takes a few days to break in so don't get upset if it shows up tight. Seems well worth the money.

UPDATE: Took some time, but I was finally able to get it to mold better to my firearm. I have the Viridian Red Grip on it, so the laser eye caused most of the issues, but it will definitely work and work well! Very satisfied! Taurus 605 2" was VERY tight in this holster ... like, 'almost couldn't get it in' tight. Had to shove it in and almost couldn't get it back off (yeah, that was my fault lol). That loosened it a bit but it was still extremely tight. Oiled the inner leather to help get the revolver to holster and draw easier which seems to have worked, and after letting it set for a bit seems to have molded a little better. Gotta love REAL leather! Still too early for a full review, but I think it's going to turn out to be the perfect fit! Will update if it doesn't meet my expectations!

Mixed feelings on the holster. Description said it would fit a Taurus 605. But it didn't. The holster was already molded, therefore it didn't line up with my Taurus. The leather is great, the belt clip is good. The label on the package said 38 special, didn't want to go through the whole hassle of returning it. So I left the holster in some water, smoothed out the leather and then remolded it to fit my Taurus. After the leather completely dried out, it fit my gun really well.
