Smith & Wesson J Frame 442 642 637 IWB Holster - USA Made - Fits S&W Revolver 442 642 637 - Klipt IWB Holster by Blade-Tech Holsters, Inside Waistband Concealed Carry (Right Hand)

Bought this for a s&w j-frame airweight, fit could be tighter, but one on a belt it is tight enough. Carry this appendix and 4 o'clock and it is super comfortable. Blade-tech actually places the belt clip beside the revolvers cylinder instead of directly on top of it which really helps reduce the thickness of an iwb holster. Recently carried for 16 hours straight and could forget it was there - driving, standing, walking. At this price, no brainer 5 stars.

This is exactly what I was looking for, an IWB (inside waistband) light weight holster with secure retention and belt clasp, for a .38 caliber S&W 5-round snub nose revolver. I have the aluminum Air Weight model and it fits perfectly; not so tight to cause difficult extraction; not loose enough to accidentally pop out. To remove the firearm, place your thumb on top of the back plate and pull up on the grip with 2 or three fingers, or simply give the grip a sharp tug. The clasp keeps the holster in place on an average belt. I read a few reviews that said their gun was loose in this holster, I didn't have that problem at all. Know your local laws about concealed or open carry when you are off your premises.

Got this for my S&W snubnose .38.It snaps into the holster for a reasonable, minimal hold that is reinforced when placed in position under my belt. The minimal design allows tis to be worn with only a T-shirt, which my standard holsters didn't quite work for.I am very happy with this so far but am curious if it will age well.

This holster fits the Smith and Wesson 642 perfectly… the only downside is that it feels perfectly and I fear it won’t hold up with daily use… I will update after a few months

good quality good product

I’ve worn this holster almost continuously for two years and I have 3 main points of contention with it. The first is that for an IWB holster this one is is unnecessarily bulky and “gun shaped,” especially the belt clip. It’s wide, square profile prints excessively under your shirt and it is not replaceable unless you’re willing to cut it off. In hindsight this holster basically removes all of the shape advantages which make small frame revolvers attractive as carry guns in the first place.Next, the “blade” of the holster is similarly unreasonably high and sharp edged. I started out wearing this in the appendix position but any kind of normal human movement would result in a painful stab in the gut, and I’m saying that as someone who is fairly thin. I ended up dremeling that bit down and rounding the edge to be a little more comfortable but be warned- this holster is not good for appendix or even 3 o’clock carry.Finally, while the Kydex initially provides decent retention, the fold line between the sight opening and the inside ‘wall’ of the holster is a pretty obvious stress point. After 2 years of use, my Bladetech holster developed a stress crack along that fold which effectively breaks it in half (see images).I tend to prefer Kydex holsters but in this instance I’m rethinking my choice as I’ve never had a leather IWB holster break in half the way this one just did.This holster probably looks like a good concept on paper, but it fails in every real world application.

Fits a Smith and Wesson airweight 38 spcl. Snub nose perfectly, but retention is not good. Not adjustment possible. Needs to be a tighter fit. Will probably return and go higher end with tension adjustability

Used for my daily carry, I like how it clicks when the firearm is fully inserted and I’m not worried about it falling out of the holster. Throw it in my bag when I’m not carrying, and in my waistband when I am carrying. Feels comfortable and reliable.
