Gun Holsters IWB Concealed Carry Revolver Holster for .38 J-Frame

I absolutely detest rigid and unforgiving IWB kydex holsters. This IWB holster is so comfortable and easy to use. Detractors will say that is does not have the snap in retention of a kydex holster. I wear it appendix style (for years) with a sturdy gun belt. I have full confidence the weapon is going to stay put.

I bought it for my son and he says it’s pretty nice, better than the original. The product is very nice and the price is very reasonable

- It is very soft and comfortable. At first I thought it was man made material and not leather because it is so supple, but Google states that there is a leather called ECO leather. - It is basically a holster shaped pouch that will accomodate a few different gun sizes/types. I have two, slightly different size S&W J frames revolvers that fit into the holster, one a little looser than the other. My Ruger LCR revolver fits in very tightly. - It has an extended sweat guard. - It has a metal clip that isn't very wide so the cant of the gun can change depending on the size of the belt. - The only retention is the pressure of the belt against the holster/gun. Years ago I changed all my holsters to Kydex holsters because of their positive, adjustable retention. I made this change because I once had a gun start working its way upward and out of a soft leather holster while working. Recently I started carrying in the AIWB position and I thought I'd try this holster because it looked more comfortable than kydex. It is very soft and flexible. It is very comfortable compared to stiff kydex holsters. The primary negative, as I stated above, is that the only retention is the pressure of your belt against the holster and gun. I've only used it for a few days so it's difficult to give it a higher rating because of my skepticism regarding how well it will keep the gun in place. EDIT - It’s been a week and the gun has stayed securely in place. I raised my rating to 4 stars and would have given it 4.5 if possible. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I don’t know how well the ECO leather will wear/last. I’m thinking about buying another one. 10/19/19 - Raised my rating to 5 star. Eco leather holding up well. Just bought another one.

Nice fit

This holster was way too bulky for my J frame, Smith & Wesson. The holster didn’t secure it tight enough to my liking.

This is my second Holster from Eco Leather. This is extremely comfortable, durable, and the belt clip is strong and works well with a belt as well as without. For revolvers, the soft holster is great since the firearm is wide. It cushions the cylinder against your body and it has full trigger coverage. It has only one drawback that I can report. It relies on your waistband to secure the firearm. There is no positive retention system like a kydex (or other holsters) and you need to be aware of that. It is non adjustible for cant but is set up just fine for me. Not sure how much I will be using this for my S & W 43c/ 442. Perhaps when the weather is cooler and I'm wearing pants with a belt I will be using this more often. In the meanwhile I will opt for pocket carry (with a holster of course). It is durable and well made.

This holster looks well made it soft for in the pants for concealment. The cost was great for what your getting. Would buy again.

I have one of these for a .38, a .380 and a 9mm. Purchase the holster made for your weapon and you'll have no issues with it. The spring is strong, the leather is soft against your skin and the inside protects its property from scratching.
