Great Holster Carry Options for Smith and Wesson J-frame Handguns by Side Guard Holsters
I love carrying my 442 with
CT Laser in one of
my Rough Outs, Minimal Clips or The Slide holsters. We make a
lot of S&W J-frame holsters (Model 36, 37, 40, 42, 442, 60, 640, 642, 649 and more) and below are
the most recommended options for carrying S$W Revolvers. One special need for revolver guns
with hammers is to protect your side from the hammer by means of our Side
Guard.

Recommendations:
The Slide - Great concealment
pancake style holster that makes the small J-frame very concealable and
comfortable to carry all day on your belt under a t-shirt or other
cover garment.
The
Snap Reinforced - Great option for those who
want a flat back side of the holster, easy on and off holster with the leather loop with
snaps and even more comfortable to wear but not as concealable compared to
The Slide.
IWB Recommendations:
Double Clip or Double Clip
Reinforced - Is a great option for
a two connection holsters that minimize the thickness of the gun. It holds the gun
securely, does not move around on your belt with the two connections and
pancake style makes for a very comfortable all day wear. The Side Guard protects
the gun from you and you from the gun especially the hammer.
Double Snap or Double Snap
Reinforced - Is a great option for

Hammar - The holster are
a reinforced opening with dual leather loop
with snaps like a Double Snap only smaller. Another benefit of this
smaller holster is the connection points are just behind the cylinder to make it much
more comfortable to carry. Very stable small holster. 15 degree cant only.
Quick Clip or Quick Snap
- These holsters are a reinforced opening
holster that work very well for revolvers. Another benefit of this smaller
holster is the connection point is just behind the cylinder to make it much
more comfortable to carry. This holster is choosen by many revolver carriers.
Min Clip or Min Snap - Smallest and
thinest
holster with a single piece of leather. These holsters work well for
appendix carry and those that want the least bulk for carrying their revolvers. The
connection is just behind the cylinder to minize bulk. (Minimal Clip shown)
Tuck Clip -
Tuckable holster that works especially well for revolvers with the
clip off set over the trigger
guard. The tuckable option allows you to tuck in a shirt between
the gun/holster and the clip so the only thing you would see is the
clip. Has all the benefits of the Quick Clip or Quick Snap.
