Buying J-Frame Revolver Holsters

As Smith & Wesson’s smallest and most concealable revolver, the J-Frame is the classic “snub-nose.” When buying revolver holsters for a J-frame, you’ll want to look for:

  • Concealability – Some people carry their J-frames IWB for concealability, but the RVH1 is designed for minimal imprinting. Since it rides high, wearers are able to carry wearing a polo shirt and cargo shorts – no need for a baggy, oversized shirt or jacket! The quick draw design is perfect for personal protection and everyday carry.
  • Retention – The last thing you want is for your weapon to come popping out unexpectedly. Leather revolver holsters hold your weapon in place through the firmness of high-quality steerhide leather, reinforced with double stitching, and the custom-sizing to J-frame revolvers. Most people do not need the extra thumb breaks, trigger hoods, or other retention straps found in other holsters.
  • Comfort – Nothing beats leather revolver holsters when it comes to comfort! They warm up with your body heat and conform to your hip for all-day carrying. Compared to Kydex, leather revolver holsters are very lightweight. Furthermore, OWB carrying on a belt distributes the weight of your revolver evenly, so you don’t develop a sore hip over time.
  • Durability – Proud gun owners who purchased leather holsters back in the 1970s find that they still perform today, even after heavy use. Our leather holsters are designed to have that same classic longevity. Unless you’re frequently carrying in a jungle swamp, a leather holster should have the sort of durability you need. Every 1791 Gunleather holster comes with a Lifetime Warranty on craftsmanship.

Nice Holster at a Good Price

When my Kydex holster broke, it was time to find a new holster. I couldn't find a Kydex one that I liked so was going to buy a Galco, but the price! I started looking at others and someone recommended 1791. I took a chance and was glad I did. The leather is thick, not that really thin flexible leather, and appears to be very high quality. My revolver barrel sticks out a bit, but that's okay. Otherwise, the fit is snug but not too snug, giving good retention and a fast draw. The stitching appears to be very high quality as well. I'm pleased with my 1791 leather holster and, unlike Kydex, it won't scratch up my pistol. And, it's USA made from USA leather. When it comes time to buy another holster, I will probably buy from 1791 again.
