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.

Smith and Wesson 442 J-frame  Model 60 J-frame

OWB 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 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.

Quick Clip J-frame Holsters

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)
