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

Excellent quality and fits perfectly! Needs to be worn IWB for a while to fully conform to revolver shape. Need two hands to re-holster when revolver fails to slip into holster while on belt!

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 purchased this holster before Amazon began restricting it's sale and shipping to my state. I live in a legal conceal carry state so this makes absolutely no sense. Amazon states that it's individual sellers choosing not to ship to certain states but if you talk with those sellers they say, no, it's Amazon placing the restriction. It seems no one can get a straight answer on this. It's happening to multiple states. Even if Amazon will still ship to your state, take your business away from them, just like they are attempting to take your gun rights away from you. This is the definition of infringement on our rights. All of these holsters can be purchased direct from the manufacturer. That said, this holster is comfortable and sturdy and fits a Smith and Wesson 38 special, Airweight, well. I've used it daily for well over a year. I wear it in my waistband only, no belt. The gun fits tight enough that I do need to do a two handed draw, pushing down on the top of the holster while pulling the gun out. After a year the leather has not loosened up much. I don't worry about the hold being too loose but I do have to do that two handed draw. My only complaint is that the metal clip destroys clothing. Any shirt, if slightly fitted, rubs against it and ultimately cuts holes in the fabric. I've resorted to a piece of duct tape over the outside of the clip.

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 .

Excellent quality.. I've had and qve dilligently use this holster for my EDC for years now.. I have no complaints.. totally satisfied.. Worth the money; it pays for it self as time goes on.

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.

Overall the holster is well made and it fits my J frame 637 but the boning or shaping sucks. Whatever it was shaped for had no resemblance to my gun and it made for a crappy fit. I soaked the holster and reshaped it and it works great now. I had to unshape it and then reshape it to get a decent fit. If they had just forgone the shaping it wouldn't have looked as good in the pictures but would have made it easier to do my own shaping.
